The best cheeses are still not pasteurized here in France. (In America, all cheeses must be pasteurized or they cannot be sold to the public.) But, these cheeses with all the bacteria really do have more flavor.
Raw and undercooked meats are found in the best restaurants in France. Have you ever tried raw ham with butter?
And, the reason that I am writing this post…
Claire had to go to the restroom before we left school last week. I peeked around the corner while she was washing her hands. I looked just in time to see her take a drink out of a little blue cup in the restroom. Her response when I told her that we don’t drink out of cups in public restrooms? “That’s what the cup is for. All the kids drink out of it.”
Berk! (French for “yuck”!) Talk about germs!
I was so horrified I took a picture with my camera phone!

i guess you don't have to worry about Claire being a germaphobic:)
ok, that really is kind of gross...
I read a celebrated French bacteriologist reports that in the mouth of a healthy infant he found almost all the disease germs known to medical science, i.e. exposure to germs will build up immunity.?..?? maybe, otherwise there would be NO French. However, my reaction to "the blue cup" would have been exactly the same...yuck
