Though if those weren't it , my second choices would be the fried pork belly and squid ink risotto. Impressed you tried everything, I am usually pretty willing to try things, but not sure I would have done pickled beef tongue. I always feel for the people on the Amazing Race when they have to eat some of the "local delicacies." Especially when those include cooked insects!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09878719868835298034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451874990236641064.post-61730800663216211752011-03-14T12:28:57.766-04:002011-03-14T12:28:57.766-04:00I would say you loved dessert and cafe best and th...I would say you loved dessert and cafe best and the least would be the raw sea bass and black squid ink.<br /><br />dixoname@msn.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451874990236641064.post-11007571798499969242011-03-13T12:17:44.939-04:002011-03-13T12:17:44.939-04:00Thanks for visiting me at grace 303 and for the Be...Thanks for visiting me at grace 303 and for the Beth Moore recommendations.

I'm guesiing the Oeufs (the deep fried pork belly) the sound of it turns my tummy and the Releve (picked beef tongue) that just does not sound tasty at all.
