Left Bank Waiters

March 21, 2017 by Blogfinger

It’s too early for dinner. Americans always arrive too early. The French know how to eat: go slow and savor the main course; a sip of wine and one small bite at a time. Then put down your fork and take a moment.

Try to speak French to the waiter, but he won’t understand. I say “beurre” but he acts like he doesn’t understand. I took 6 years of French—I can say “beurre.”

He says, “Speak English.”

I say, “Butter please.”
He says, “OK.” They’re like that, but they sure can cook.

Click the word “Blogfinger” below this sentence.  “S’il vous plait”  (please)
