Les pensées de Rishabh

My favorite experience so far in France has been tasting the different kinds of cheeses after dinner and for lunch. What surprised me the most is that the French have two desserts! Cheese and then something sweet! Out of all the cheeses I have tried so far, my favorite is called "pavé d'affinois". It is a very soft cheese which is eaten like butter is on bread. It was purchased and eaten fresh. In fact, it was so French that the rind was not plastic, but natural and edible. The baguettes that Loïc's family purchases come from a baker Ina neighboring town called Rouffach. Purchased fresh daily, the baguette is the staple of the French lunch and dinner. I have already eaten it with soup, cheese, butter, gravy, and even mashed potatoes. Costing less than a euro each, the baguette is the best bread I have eaten. After dinner, we have cheese with bread. The different kinds of cheese include comté, chèvre (goat cheese), Camembert, and Brie. If I could, I would eat cheese and bread all day. But it's bad luck to have cheese in the morning. When we go out for lunch, I usually have a sandwich with cheese and vegetables with an espresso. My favorite bread has been Moricette, a local Alsatian bread with different fillings.
