So joined this food tour around Bordeaux today, and it was actually more than fooood! The guide brought us to the different places around town and explained some stuff about the buildings and things as well! quite informative and interesting! Found out the whole city was demolished and rebuilt in the 18th cent. so most buildings are either Louis XV or Louis XVI style! haaa and you can tell the difference by looking at the way they decorate above the windows....coooool!

The tour first, went to this very nice cafe, had this creamy cofffeee thats like the blizzard ice cream from Dairy Queen! it wont fall when you hold it upside down! haaaaa!!! and they had brilliant hot chocolate! the so-called secret receipe....haaa! They also made the famous cake from the region, Canele? dunno but it was GOOOOOOOD!

Next tried cheeeeese! tried cow, goat and sheeep, the sheep one tasted the best! haaaaaam not too sou at all! but the goat one zqs very sou....haaa

Then it was meat! had Foie, geese and duck! YUM but heavy ne....also ham from Bayonne and ones made with pigs brain??? errrr.....not THAT gooood

Last was Wine! one red one white....the red one smelled very wooooody.....didnt like it. but the white one, despite it being a dry wine, it was very very nice!!! loved it. The store didnt sell wine and I couldnt find it in the wine store! argh,,,,,,
