Including some we ate, some we didn't...
 |
Perhaps our best ice cream shoppe ever was Fenocchio's--three locations in old Nice |
 |
Not just the quality of the product but also the dazzling array of flavors; best mango and coco ever |
 |
One of three cases...traditional, weird, kiddie... |
 |
The usual veggie fare |
 |
The chicken chute at a boucher we patronized |
 |
One day's lunch in old town...Vicki's lasagna; here we discovered that, at least in Nice, the French have become very waste-conscious and will happily provide a box for Fido...pouvons-nous avoir un doggie bag, s'il vous plait? |
 |
My salade nicoise...no potatoes, no anchovies, settling that dispute, at least for a day |
 |
One can eat pretty well here for very little |
 |
One of the Tunisian bakeries |
 |
One day's Mediterranean diet diner...the tomatoes count as fruit |
 |
Croutons with rouille |
 |
We actually snacked at this Tunisian bakery |
 |
Definitely a Cote du Rhone with you dog |
 |
East California? Mojave Desert? Death Valley? |
 |
Last seen in Prague |
 |
Kiddie fare ("whaou"="wow") |
 |
Where we ate in La Turbie, previously posted |
 |
Spring asparagus is big in France, so much so that it gets its own serving pieces |
 |
Mark-downs at a supermarket...at first we thought "anti-gaspi" meant "last gasp," but no, it means "not to waste"
|
 |
Serving up fleurs des courgettes at a market |
 |
The best Naples-style pizza in Nice, it is said, is at a place called Les Amoreux, The Lovers |
 |
Interior decor; cracked me up |
 |
The ladies get a heart-shaped pizza...top that, Pizza Hut!; warrants another visit, Vicki said |
 |
I thought I'd go for my usual anchovy pizza, but failed to note that Les Amoreux's version was bereft of cheese--unthinkable in Naples, in my experience--just five anchovy fillets swimming in tomato sauce; the sauce was good, and the bake was perfect, but I really missed the cheese...interestingly, Les Amoreux did not note nor display its affiliation or approval by the Associazzione Verace Pizza Napolitana... hmmm... |
 |
Over the top Indian resto in old town |
 |
Outside seating |
 |
Seriously over the top |
 |
Totally international cuisine...well, North American |
 |
Our last foray for food was into old Nice for some socca, a chickpea- based street food popular in Provence and the Ligurian coast; we never found any...too early one day, too late another...next time... |
