A La Galette d'Antan

This is a galetterie. It makes galettes. And crêpes. And this is where I had dinner one night. If you're ever in Nantes I highly recommend this place. Most of its food was completely organic, and it makes its own cider.

 This is their cider. It's an alcoholic version of apple cider that is a tad bit more bitter than you would thing alcoholic apple cider would be. But it was pretty good. They also displayed the bottles everywhere in the shop. The restaurant itself was rather small with a really rustic feel. The ceiling made it look like a side of a barn, which was a nice touch.

 But probably the best thing is that they had hand crêpes. Here in France no one ever eats with their fingers. The other day, they ate an apple with a fork and knife. We also eat pizza with silver wear. It's infuriating. I cant cut things with my right hand and eat with a fork in my left. But every time I switch my silver wear around, the little girl give me this little smirk. I know she doesn't mean it to be condescending, but I must try to do things the French way, even if it's incontinent and takes me five times longer to eat my food. 

Any way, the galette on the left is made of all-natural buckwheat to give it a more savory flavor, while the crêpe on the right is made with regular flour.The one on the left is ham and cheese, the cheese, probably some sort of Swiss, was all  melty and amazing. The one on the right is caramel. The top wasn't that great, but since it was in a vertical position as I ate it, the bottom was oozing with caramelly goodness. My friend spilled hers all over the table. But it was good.

But the best part is the price. It was under 8 euros to eat like that. Yes I was still hungry, but that is because I'm always hungry. But 8 euros is a great price for good food like that.

 After that we went to a bar like thing. I got hot chocolate and chocolate cake while the others drank wine. 

Personally I think I won that one. Chocolate beats wine hands down any day. And that sauce was some butter cream sauce that was completely delectable.And the cake was delicious, it was crispy on the outside and dense and rich on the inside. The hot chocolate was not the best, but they gave me a cookie with it, and I can never complain when I get a free cookie. 

Here are two thing I found in the street too. When seeing the first all I could think about would be the akward teenage years of "Are you my mummy?" The second one is in honor of the District Day for TBS. Hope that goes well everyone.
