Did Dale find new things to import at great expense?

This is the question that I know is on the mind of more than one person. The answer should be obvious. So obvious, in fact, that it need not even be asked. And what is that answer? Of course he did! Echire butter, to begin. Unfortunatly, I learned of this in my book Culinaria France, so knew I was doomed. How often will I buy it? I don't know because the 2 blocks I brought back will hold me a while. I do wish to try the version in the wooden round box, which was not available in Monoprix nor at the Galleries Lafayette. Oh, the Galleries has a specatular central dome of amazing stained glass, from the day the building was first built in the late 1890's as one of Paris' Grand Magasins.

Back to the subject. The chocolate ganaches dusted with 100% cocoa and the star-shaped hazelnut chocolat noir smothered in dark chocolate from Angelina's on Rue de Rivoli are, fortunately, not available to buy from America! However, The La Maison du Chocolat's spectacular Champagne Truffles, their Tasse de Chocolat beads to melt into whatever you wish, both are available on-line.

Adding to my daily meals will be a wider variance of the famous baguette: tuna with cucumber; tuna with thin sliced hard boiled egg and tomato - atho I doubt I will be able to duplicate the amazing flavor of the very orange-yolked French eggs, to name just a couple.
