Lyon, France

M. l’Avocat continues his French holiday, describing his and his beautiful wife’s lunch:

Baguette, St-Marcellin cheese, goat cheese with ash, a mild Roquefort, mixed fresh olives, demi-sel butter, cherries, dates, goose rillette, two kinds of saucisson Lyonnaises and a pâte´ de canard en croute — like Bourdain showed off — and an adult Beaujolais expertly recommended by a wine-store guy to match the food. Eaten over 90 minutes in our apartment (half the price of a hotel) while listening to Charlie Parker.
