And this was my question up until my last night in Paris. Where are the vegetables? Perhaps we were looking in the wrong places, but all my sister and I seemed to stumble across in Paris was carbohydrates and wine. This also encompasses the moto of the youth hostel we stayed in, which highly touted its "breakfast included" meal plan. The only included breakfast we saw was a mini baguette and butter, with a side of coffee or hot chocolate. For us, breakfast always meant some sort of protein and a fruit. It wasn't until the last day where we found a market with a few items that could pass as nourishment, and on our last night in Paris, Voila! We ate at a hole in the wall local spot where we feasted on steak, potatoes, roasted tomatoes and some asparagus washed down with many-a-glass of beautiful Bordeaux wine. That meal was well worth the wait.
