Going to France. You know French, as you pass popravca antiderivative. Because you picajzlast, take with you a modern French-Slovenian dictionary, year '86. You get into the hands of me. Now what?

If you want preizkušaš different dishes, pick me assembled in the desired price range (from 12 € to 60 €) and throw dice for the appetizer, main course and dessert, half what it is. It is a lot you can not falit. It will always be next to French fries, salad as a starter and still never annexed as the main course.

In larger cities it can happen to find yourself in Morocco or some other African restaurants, sometimes even in Asia. Pasta known only to the Cote d'Azur, pizza is everywhere anyway.


If there are dishes izogibaš for medical, philosophical or other reasons, it will not work without a dictionary, because high school French does not say that the escargot snail, entrecôte steak, steak peacocks de Boeuf, haricots vert green beans, confit de Canard krneki of ducks and that the French fries basically plain French fries.

When seafood is particularly difficult to distinguish between sea bass, sea bream, frogs, leaves, sharks, swordfish and tunami. However, the Pleiades coquillages et crustacés (molluscs and crustaceans). If raw oysters are not joke, then stay away Huîtres.


The breakfast is easier. Baguette (baguette) with beurre (butter) and Confiture (jam), croissant (French butter croissant), jus d'orange (orange juice) as well as cocoa, coffee, tea or proxy. Cappuccino comes in France in the form of coffee with cream, coffee with milk (café-au-lait) is more than our white Italian coffee or latte macchiato. Rather, it must be adjusted.

France and the country pancakes, so if all else fails, is always around the corner palančinkarna, typically open all day, unlike the restaurants that are between the third and seventh hour closed. With the most popular Italian Nutello.

Below is a price list from St Tropez, where you can buy a pancake for 14 €. If this just overwhelmed by unbearable hunger and do not have at hand a sandwich with poly repressed.

    What is the difference between cafe au lait and latte coffe? Vary across countries? I want to know to distinguish these two things in Sweden.

    Given that the cappuccino in times significantly different from the sidewalk, but both are away from the constellation of those on the Italian Avtogrillih, of course, is illusory to expect wherever they came on the coffee table, according to your taste.

    If you will be in Sweden for more than one day, you'll find out what you have ordered.

    But if I return to answer the question, cafe au lait, coffee with milk in French, but there is actually a much milk, so that according to our norms (Ljubljana), this white coffee. Caffe latte is coffee with milk in Italian and is again in principle the same as our white coffee. Then there is the latte macchiato, which means "dirty milk", and is approximately the same pasta. Caffe Macchiato is unlike the latte macchiato, coffee stained, which is most comparable to our coffee with milk. In some places in Italy serves latte macchiato in a glass jar with a high coffee and milk at the bottom to the top.

    But they have finesse. Moreover they find on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latte .

    In practice, it all depends on local habits and skills beyond that of coffee.

    BTW, in Ljubljana Urska opposite the sender get all three. Order all three and you'll see whether any difference or not.
