I brought America to my Parisian apartment

But not really. Because I didn’t go to an American specialty grocery store. This meal just looks very American, but it’s all French. Win-win for me! And it was oh so delicious~

"American" meal Up-close meal

Fries are pretty common in France too, believe it or not. That day, I was craving for fries pretty badly. So I bought a huge bag that lasted me for a week. Money well spent!

As for the chicken, I was very apprehensive about buying it the first time because it looked good, but it also looked possibly dry. In America, a lot of times, the meat is so dry that it is unbearable. However, I put this piece of breaded chicken into the frying pan with a dab of sunflower oil and done! The first bite was amazing~ Really tender, juicy, flavorful, gah! Just all around DELICIOUS. So delicious that I bought this chicken from the same brand, Le Gaulois, at least 4 more times afterwards. I ate one last night and I currently have another pack of 2 waiting in my little fridge compartment. This chicken never fails me~ (I don’t know if it is a good or a bad thing that I discovered this item because ever since I first ate it, I feel as if I never venture out to buy or cook new things. And I feel as if I have gotten lazier with my cooking. It is probably also terrible for my health, but I’ll just keep telling myself that I won’t be able to eat this anymore once I go back home. Meat here is just so much better.)

The sauce that I had here, called Sauce Samourai (weird, right?), I bought on a whim. But it was a very good buy. I love it and eat it with my fries and chicken all the time now. 😀 A happy stomach is a happy Victoria!
