#70 DO Beurre
We all know certain things are just better here, be it croissants, madeleines, chocolate, escargot, béchamel, caramel, etc., but to explain the source of these culinary feats we simply need to identify the common denominator: le mighty beurre. There is something magical about the butter in France, it is so delicious, so sweet, so salty, so creamy—you eat it on anything and everything, you will never tire of it and you probably can even eat it plain (you know who you are). One really has not experienced butter until you’ve unwrapped a brick of this dairy d’or of France. Luckily, there is enough red wine flowing around here to cancel out the negative effects of the saturated fat in your arteries, so it’s all good. Just remember when you come to Paris next, buy a warm baguette slather on le beurre and suddenly Brando’s Last Tango in Paris anal scene will make a lot more sense (dirty old man or passionate expat foodie!?!)…Either way, butter ‘er up, this shit is golden!
