Paris: day 5

Our last day in Paris so food celebrations were in order.  Tom finally got his much desired falafel on the rue des Rosiers.  It was pouring rain so we opted to sit at Chez Hanna instead of the world famous L'Has Falafel where people have to stand and balance umbrella and fistful of dripping lunch material. 
Dinner at the fab Potager de Marais where the onion soup got high marks and the chocolate mousse was the best EVER...vegan or not.  The quinoa burger was crunchy and delicious but the mashed potatoes were a bit of a disappointment.  Nell said mine are much better...creamier. 



When asked how she makes the mousse, our cook said she mixes soy cream for one hour to get it to whip up.  May be a deterrent for a home cook but I'll give it a shot when I get home. Last night in Paris!  On to Normandy where veg options may be more limited. Who knows, maybe there are vegan crepes? In my heart, I feel this may be where our paths diverge because this woman WILL eat crepes!  And what is France without a bit of cheese?  Really!
