I agree- finding American food- that is, good American food, is better left to America and not other countries!

I agree with the Mexican food! A little mexican ‘taqueria’ opened in Aix while I was there..the first time I went with mon copin, I ordered a burrito and wanted salsa & chips. They told me they ran out of chips. I wanted a churro, they didn’t have anymore but sold rice krisipies treats. It was disappointing, but it was better than nothing..though it reminded me of Chipotle.

The part about Mexican food reminded me of my trip to the East Coast in 1995. Never eat Mexican food while in Salem, Massachusetts. =/

Your posts about France always make me feel like a chunk of life has passed me by! I imagine me younger, jetting around the streets of Paris. You are so blessed to have traveled so far and wide, Andi. It really is a joy to read about this stuff, even if I never make it there. But, if I do, I’m totally checking out Thanksgiving. Cool name!

I wish I had the problem of trying to find an american breakfast in Paris…sigh. I grew up in Germany and really miss Europe and some of the traditions. Thanks for sharing some tips for if I ever get to go back.

I’m with you on the Mexican. Having grown up eating Mexican food regularly, I craved it when I lived in Europe, but I learned quickly to live with the craving.

This is a very nice post, Andi, particularly as I think people who want to eat American food in Paris should just come on home.
