What we Ate on Vacation

Don't get jealous now.

I thought I'd share some pix of the food I ate while vacationing in Paris, Barcelona and London. All low carb/sugar and all so very tasty! Let's start with Paris...

Bunless burgers! Georgia was eating some sort of meat and cheese fondue thingy. This was in the Mouffetarde area.

My favorite meal in Paris. there was so much duck fat I figured the taters glycemic load was pulverized. Still I didn't eat all of them.

We shared a nice pate plate:

And what did I choose as my main? You guessed it!

Georgia ate well too as you can see.

Though I don't eat much dairy, this place sure had some seriously amazing stuff!

We took two Fat Bike tours - one in Paris and one in Versailles. Great trips!

Onto Barcelona...

We ate at a very nice seafood place by the sea and drank many a Tinto Verano. The drink is a light alcohol wine mixed with bubbly water and various citrus fruits inside. Very refreshing! Hat tip to Mike Eades my co-author for the heads up on this drink!

Here was my meal:

Amber was hooked up with a hunk of sirloin:

Linda is about to feats on rabbit shoulder stew:

Steak with foie gras on top. Yes, eating low carb is so bland and limiting:

Amber's steak was so thick she got a helping hand from the kind waiter:

Our last lunch in Barcelona. We were almost dragged in by the manager. He talked a good talk and when he said the restaurant was also gluten free certified we were in! Take a look:

A huge chunk of fatty meat:

OK onto merry olde England!

The food was not as good on average in the U.K. compared to Paris and Barcelona. But we did find a few places that were as good like a little gastro-pub in South Kennsington called Bumpkin.

This dish was scrumptious:

I neglected to take a pic of my dish or Linda's.

Saying goodbye:

I hope you enjoyed this gastro-post. We certainly enjoyed eating it all!

The moral of this story is, low carb never gets boring or tasteless no matter where you go.
