Ah violist, sounds like you had a nice time. I am still intrigued by seeing Rungis, but we may wait until January. This trip will be about chocolate, that is how many ballotins of chocolate will fit into my trager backpack without causing too much of a commotion in STL. This time we'll split the cheese and chocolate into separate bags, the cheese will definitely sealed in one of those argon bags to preserve its freshness and not offend those sitting near us. .

USAFAN, we've been eating fresh chanterelles here for weeks. They were as inexpensive as 6 bucks a pound at our local farmer's market. Tonight its pork tenderloin with chanterelles for dinner, mmm mmm good.
I visit the dean and deluca in Georgetown, good for spices, too expensive for anything else.

It nice to see others interested in food.
