For those of you who use my blog as a procrastination tool, I apologize for the lack of material in the last week. Maybe it was a good thing for you?
Last Wednesday (a week ago), I went to the Foire Internationale et Gastronomique de Dijon, which was basically an international food festival. A couple of friends and I went over right after class to see what was up since we’d seen posters all over town and our teachers and host families had mentioned it as a good cultural thing to do here.
I was expecting more of a fair-type thing, with booths we could visit and get free samples from. I was prepared to fill up on free samples of regional food for dinner, but was surprised that it was mostly food stands and little restaurants in one giant room. There were definitely NOT enough free samples to sustain me for a meal.
We did a lap around, seeing specialties from all over France and from other countries, too, and decided to buy dinner at a little Japanese food stand. Not exactly French food, but good nonetheless.
