Nice Eats

 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...
