Contrary to what you may think, I am not one of those adventurous eaters. Oh, don’t get me wrong, I love food- French, Italian or otherwise. I consider myself a foodie, but I just don’t like to eat anything weird.
I tried duck when I was in France, which was a first for me- and I loved it! But it was duck breast served in a peach sauce. It wasn’t like a duck beak with intestine sauce. There I draw the line.
One of my biggest fears when I first travelled to France and Italy was the food. Europeans have some different staples than Americans. They eat lots of things that I haven’t. Or wouldn’t, for that matter.
While I know a fair amount of French and Italian, definitely enough to get around, I don’t know enough to decode every detail on a foreign menu.
