🤢 I nearly brought up this morning's rashers and sausages….well done the kiddies !
Salut from Dahuk Rob – JP…….🤣🤣
..that JP cooking sketch takes me back to my childhood where my father introduced such delicacies as snails, legs of frogs, and even oysters…. it's psychological…. As adults we (perhaps) are more cautiously aware or afraid to try…so bravo to the children 👏👏👏…(That play-place in Angoulême looked like great fun for the kids 👍… amazing how even the chips and burger looked good 😋… Probably set the taste buds up for the surf & turf 🤭
Did Lisa finish her food or did she "Flob like Rob"???? Is that the name of your new food section
Brave kiddos. I could not get mind to try anything like that. I have had both in San Francisco. Not bad if you do not think too much or have a couple glasses of wine ahead of time. LOL
what stars your kids are 10/10
Hi Rob another great video thank you Angeline and Robbie are so brave eating those frogs legs and snails yuk i am with you on that no wonder you spat them out the frogs legs especially looked horrible obviously they were to you, well done for trying them .
Boing boing boing! Hope you saw the rest of the frogs leaving your house in their little wheelchairs ! We just loved this ep! Kids amazing, especially Robbie with the frogs legs and his police motor bike! 😂 oh and as for the escargot – wow full points to les enfants! 😅
"Surf and Turf"😂 The kiddos are truly adventurous gourmands! (in the good French sense of the word.) My father made us try escargot at a fancy restaurant in Paris. I was just 13 and had braces on my teeth. The only thing I wanted to do was go and brush! Ugh… I think it scarred me for life.🤢
The first person ever to eat a snail must have had big Boules!!🤮
If slo-mo goes, so do I! I enjoy the British humour, mostly (American, here). Great use of music cueing in your stories. Life has routines with excitement interspersed – exactly what people who yearn for French country life should expect. C’est parfait!
Robbie is the bravest child I’ve ever seen …. Absolutely wonderful. Thanks for sharing that. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Well done to the children trying the food…makes me glad I’m vegetarian! I thought that was a really entertaining episode. 😅
escargots are best cooked in white wine cream sauce with loads of garlic – quite delicious
Robbie is a champ!
Snails… yummy ??! 😂😂😂 good one my friend. Take care. 😊👍
No problem with frogs legs except perhaps the way they are 'harvested' in some perts of the world.
Snails are not my thing. I don't like the rubbery consistency – the taste is just butter and garlic (what isn't bad..)
Your kids are great!!! 👍 Robbie emptying the shell and asking for more! In 20 years, he will have a food channel on YouTube..
C'est vrai que les français bouffent des trucs bizarre mais le beurre d'escargots (aïl ,sel, poivre et persil) et les escargots sont un accompagnement idéal pour l'élément principal : un bon pain frais bien cuit !!! Mais cela n'est que mon opinion.
Head over to Angoulême rugby club, top club in the second division, and Jonny May plays they. Great atmosphere and you’ll learn a lot about French culture.
If you like the snail, the best place to buy is Leclerc, in the frozen section. You can buy by the kilo, they’re superb quality, you can’t do better in France.
a big wow to both the little ones
