What Parisians ate for New Years 2015

What do Parisians eat for New Years Eve?

Champagne signs are everywhere.

Champagne deals galore.

Oysters are shucked in the street to keep them cold. Come and get your trays of fresh-opened huitres,

Monoprix has a full array of luxe,

Fromage,

And volupte.

You can buy caviar at Monoprix.

Sauternes to drink with

Foie gras de canard.

Duck(canard) foie gras is not as strong or riche as goose(d'oie) foie gras.

Or you can have pate of salmon, lobster, scallops instead.

Les hits tres hotte des fetes.

Litchi nuts are hot hot hot this holiday season. Christine says the French love to eat exotic foods during the holidays.

Miniature pineapples and passion fruit.

Fancifully prepared party foods

Lobster, crab, scallops. Miam.

Meanwhile Bear (in his new Christmas sweater gift from a lovely PBer) and I dream of New York HOT DOGS. Frenchies To Go has them.
Yum Yum

Luxe, Glam et Pâte

 En retard!
No wi-fi for THREE jours! ouch
 
 Nevermind.
There's always wonderful Starbucks.
Did you put on the ruffles last nite?
 
 And ruffles below?
 Did you put a bow on it?
 
 What did you eat for New Years Eve?
 Here it's de rigeur to eat homard...
 Langouste...
 LOBSTER! The bigger the better. Plus oysters and marrons glace or any which way...
 Pate prepared like a buche de noel - rolled or layered the French way.
 Even Champagne is wearing a bib and tucker.
 Champagne reminders in the Metro.
 A night of lights and lovers.
 I hope you kicked up your heels last night!
The dog of the day wishes you,
BONNE ANNEE!
And so does Bear

This year I will...


This year I will get to the pool 4X a week (OK at least 3X). And I will not sit around in my bathing suit all day procrastinating!

This year I will get to know New York half as well as I know Paris..
And I'm going to take Barry Lewis' City Transformed (again) at Cooper Union just to make sure I do it.


This year I will learn to Moonwalk.
 
This year I will finally read This Year I Will...sitting on the shelf to make sure I do all the things listed here...ahem
What do you plan to do this year..?
BONJOUR 2010!
