I need Ollie to bring Josh to a fake michelin star restaurant he sets up himself where he serves him very average food but with fancy name and plating getting increasingly worse with each course and see how Josh reacts to each bite. That would be peak entertainment. There could even be an actor telling stories about each course and cheap wine pairing and all. Please make it happen!

There are lots of restaurants that serve frog legs, snails, etc but they tend to be on the pricier side of dining. I love oysters and in a coastal city that I often visit, a plate of raw oysters will fetch about 20 euros, which my family will go through 3 or 4 orders before we go onto eating the main meal.

When I was stationed in West Germany in the late 8os there was a restaurant in Erlensie called The Hungry Hunter where they served wild game that was taken by local hunters. I ate my first wild boar, roast pheasant, duck, red deer, and field snails in that establishment. The nights menu was dependent on what a hunter had shot the week before and how long it lasted.

It's funny to see you guys live so close to France but have never or barely ate these types of food. I'm in North America, french descent (1536) and I know of no one that weren't at one point or another brought up on these items. They're so prevalent that our national dollar store (Dollarama) sells canned snails, much cheaper than at the grocery store. Frog legs are generally found at the fish monger or grocery stores, this chef's take on vol-au-vent and seafood; is quite similar to our own cipâte/cipaille (sea pie). Mind you vol-au-vent are available here everywhere from the local grocery store to the Costco's/Walmart (of this world) to local bakeries; the store versions are generally made with veg lard or pork lard (cheaper) and bakeries use butter. They are simply puff pastry cut outs (just like donuts) but they necessitate 3-4 more turns to be able to rise as much. Foie gras is quite a staple here as we produce the most in all of north America. Shame that the UK have banned this awesome fat bar but on the bright side; it just means that the price hasn't risen and there are more for us🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😜
I would've loved a conversation video with Thibault, he seemed like a very interesting person to have a chat with :)
As much as I love the chaotic energy and the fun, the jumper game is quite strong. Well done 👏🏽
That pigeon dish looked absolutely amazing. The French really know how to prepare small birds.
