I always thought it was kind of strange that you get butter with the bread, croissants, etc. in the morning, but not with the bread later in the day, unless it's on your baguette with ham and cheese. They're always very rigid on how things can be served. I remember being at the Park Hyatt in Paris once and someone asked for a slight change in something served with an appetizer in the bar. Just could not be done that way!
