It is indeed the thymus of the calf (there is the same thing with lambs) which is a gland which only exists in children because it produces growth hormone and disappears in adults (it's the same in humans).

So nice to see Sonny in Paris, the City of Lights! This was a fun and visually beautiful video to watch. The French do have a magical way of making "bizarre" food look elegant, beautiful (and even spiritual by putting their patron saints on the plate). And it's cute how they tend to force people to drink their wine (because no wine or the wrong wine means you don't know how to live). Hope Sonny will eat regular French foods and not just weird foods in France. Looking forward to more videos from France.

Frog legs & Beef tartare, escargot or sweet breads, I love them all. I'm from Ottawa Canada and got the chance to try those foods at different times but they are very pricey. As for your comment on how they know what piece(s) of the animal to cut, I can say that the slaughter house I worked at 50 years ago actually had 2 men doing just that. Of course there were many doing the actual cutting up the animal (I was the man who put their lights out) but they also carefully carved the skull to scrape that meat which was used for some medicinal purpose.

Nice video indeed, it's interesting, funny and shows the real thing, what local people would invite you to try. I'm Italian but I absolutely love French cuisine too. Keep up the good work.

And stable for 2000 years, with a gastronomic history strongly influenced by the Romans, who were already very refined cooks. We eat very well everywhere in Europe, but France has the largest choice of quality raw materials. And a know-how, a passion for food and the pleasures of life.

I hope you can book 2 monthes then, because as France is a very old country, each 100km you will find completely new different specialties (North, West, East, South-West and South-East of France look and taste like whole different countries) !

Most hilarious food review I've ever seen. I already had tears in my eyes when he said "That frog must have been a gymnast". But when it came to the comparison between "Simon Art Garfunkel" vs. the porc trotter with Sauce Bearnaise, it just blew me off. Thanks for the really great entertainment! And by the way: now I'm hungry, too!

France is such a unique place. Wish I could visit one day.

You should try "Canard au sang" a recipe you can only find in France with a whole duck pressed to extract its blood and juices to make a sauce. Also try "ortolan" a delicacy forbidden now.

When I was a kid, all summer we would hunt for several hours every evening catching these huge bullfrogs. Then we would take them back, clean them, brine them in buttermilk overnight, and then mom would season, bread, and fry them. Damn, they were delicious.

The food is very appetizing. If you have the opportunity to go to France I'm going to eat the Frog Leg menu because I love frog legs. It's a local dish from the Northeast, but I've never eaten snails, which is very interesting. Thank you for making good clips for us to watch.

@@aikifab I’ve seen people do it. My mother made use eat literally every single thing with utensils. I got teased so bad for eating sandwiches, pizza, cookies, chicken legs/wings, and even more with a fork and knife. My roommates use to hide the utensils to force me to eat pizza with my hands because they found my manners so ridiculous. So I’m sure if someone tried hard enough they could eat anything with utensils. I just thought it was amusing to see eating with hands in a fine dining establishment lol.

We used to have a buffet in town (I live in Northern Indiana) that served frog legs and they were amazing. They shut down, unfortunately, so they are a lot harder to find now.

Note for the snails: We usually do not put the bread in the shell. First we eat the snail, and then we put the shell in a way that the butter drip in the plate. Once all the snails are eaten, we sauce the plate with bread.

Man, that pig ear looked so good. 39 year old German here, I still remember an older story from around 19 years ago. Our boss back then invited the whole team to a farm after we've spent 2 years on a restoration project of a historical farmhouse ( Carpenter / woodworker ) and the farmer family that was living there had a butchers license and they grew, slaughtered and prepared their animals inhouse. They held a really nice BBQ for us, imagine gigantic plates chock full of nice, tender organically grown meats of all varieties. One thing I still vividly remember were the smoked and charcoal grilled pig ears, was the first time in my life I've tried something like that and they were absolutely delicious. Thanks for taking me on a trip down memorylane Sunny!

Egyptain home cooking and french cuisine aren't so different, the way they cooked the liver with flour and butter, is exactly how we like to make it here also! and also yes we also really love to eat as many parts of the calf as possible, a local favorite is the calf stomach and lungs.

I love frog legs & Beef tartare. I’ve never had escargot or sweet breads. Though I have prepared sweet breads quite a lot…while in culinary school and during my days working in restaurants. If there were a place close to me that made escargot I’d absolutely try it. Anyway, much love to y’all. Love the video, as always. ✌🏻🥰😊

I ate escargot and i think he overexaggerated them a bit. They mostly taste like the butter you stuff them with. They just give a small amount of "different oil/fat" and texture to it. But basically you could replicate this with any spongy food - like tofu for example - and the same butter.

Béarnaise is a butter and egg yokk emulsion (as a mayonnaise) seasoned with tarragon, Shallot and a touch of vinegar. It's a speciality from a region in south west France, called "Béarn", it is traditionally served with prime rib.

i guess "bizarre" is subjective and in this case is relative to the north american palate/viewer, but i didn't perceive anything remotely such in this entire segment- in fact, i can't recall the last time a food program made my mouth water as much. everything looked absolutely incredible and made we want to plan a whole food tour in paris (and france in general). thanks so much for this incredible content.

I'm Swissgerman and I wasn't surprised at all. The veal liver and the pork cuts he ate, exist here too. But they are eaten very rarely because they take a long time to prepare, the young generation likes the quickly prepared stuff sadly. I'm not sure what part of the pig snout he ate, but the one I made a while ago had some extremely tender meat under the thick skin. I was a bit surpised that he didn't eat cow stomach stew, that would fit perfectly in the ambiente of the restaurent. Maybe they don't offer it? In the winter there is the "Gnagi" here in Switzerlnad, which is the ankle and a bit upwards of the pig. Excellent taste and I usually make it in the oven for the crispy skin and then use the bones in a stew the next day.

So fun to see your reactions! Both restaurants were my favorite hangouts in 1996, watching you tear through that pigs trotter had my mouth watering at 0800AM in Seattle this morning, to say nothing about the escargot, Oh to have that for breakfast!

Ironically the first time I ever had frog legs was in Minnesota in the mid 70's, The restaurant had a frog leg fry night. I was a kid but found them to be delicious. Still do!

A la vue de cette vidéo, ma fierté d'être français se ranime, et se mélange de nostalgie. En Bolivie, pour l'instant, ces images me tireraient presque des larmes. Merci.

Really making me want to go back to Paris :D it's been too long and that Tartar looks amazing 🤤

simply the best cuisine in the world ❤️

As a French Italian (North East Italy), I can say that in both countries you eat frog legs, snails and tartare. One of my favorite dishes when I come back to Verona (IT) is the horse tartare which is fabulous ! Ohhh calf liver toooooo in both countries. French are not the only ones eating strange food ;-) Nevertheless, those dishes must be really well cooked if you want to enjoy them. You must carefully choose the restaurant

Oh and btw, all of the regions in France have so much specialities, or products in term of food ! Like u can find "Quiche lorraine" "choucroute" / "cassoulet" / "andouillette" / "bouillabaisse" / "tartiflette" / "Waterzooi" AND SO MANY MORE !! If one day u go in France, please visit Paris yes, and others regions if you can, for the mountains, the sea, the view of beautiful things, different cultures and architecture types ALL around the country. In "Alsace" or "Moselle" you can find germans architecture due to the german occupation in 1940. In the north, red bricks in buildings AND.... I think you know for Paris. It's not because I'm french but except the politic, French is a very good country (to visit at least, living here is a bit different but better than much countries)

Long time subscriber, I remember my man swearing he would never be hitting up Europe for foodie adventures. Yet here he is tearing it up.

Nice to see American people loving our cuisine. However its funny how you ask how to telle the words "in French" but "tartare" or "sauce" are literally French words haha. In fact most of the technical terms used in cuisine (French word also ;) ) are French !

Here in the Philippines we love to cook frog and snail in coconut milk and some serious spiciness 😋😋😋

For information, the Sweet bread you taste in second is called "Bouchée à la reine", and it's made with "ris de veau", wich sound better than thymus :) You can place this in usual conversation to look smart. it's a festiv dish, and you can always find it with a good butcher, but tend to be less and less common, perhaps beacause of its price.

I am a fan of foie de veau my mother in law used to make it specially for my daughters when they were young, they were fans too, can't beat liver, onions and gravy that my mum makes in the UK either 😊

French here, and I have eaten at the Pied de cochon before... It's quite expensive, but in Paris everything is way too expensive... Too bad you didn't try their onion soup it has a thick layer of crunchy cheese on top and under the soup (which is suprisingly sweet, they really caramelise the onions well) there is rosted garlic bread for really nice ending punch... It's not that exotic, but it's really tasty. I'm also quite surprised you though that calf liver was a unusual food here, frog's legs and snails are really seldomly eaten here and a lot of french people will probably never eat some, but calf liver is quite common. My mother made it regularly at home, usually ligthly sauted with butter, garlic and parseley and we can find some at almost every butcher shop here in France... As you were saying you would go for bizarre foods I though you would go for something like rognons sauce madere (calf kidney with a very specific sauce used only in this kind of dish to my knowledge, made with some very sweet heated portugese wine), it also has a very particular taste and a strong and distinctive smell.
