Croque Madame

I haven't eaten that for decades 👀 ! Yeah, finally a real croque madame again ❤️❤️❤️ .

Everyone who comes from Hamburg thinks they know this, but people... What you get served in Hamburg as croque madame or croque monsieur has nothing to do with the French original, but is a boring topped and grilled baquette.

THIS is a croque madame!

To be honest, it's a slightly modified version with Italian ham, instead of French and as a 2nd additional cheese (mozzarella), but it exactly looks like an original croque madame.

You could even prepare it in cast-iron shell-shaped molds, but I know that mainly from the 80s or earlier in France. I added so pictures to show you...

I also really liked the pub: Au Chabrot - close to the Vieux Port - definitely worth a visit. They pay attention to local and high-quality ingredients and prepare the food with a lot of love - friendly, happy, nice and funny people!

There also was even Breton cola, which was quite delicious and not so sweet.

So my suggestion: skip the big shit and go there!Read more
