Comments on: Le Mesturet, Paris http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/07/31/le-mesturet-paris/ The slightly eccentric eating and cooking adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

I agree, good service definitely makes a difference. I couldn't resist-no matter how risky it sounded! :) Hi Maria-They were very friendly, I think they get a lot of tourists.

I took a look at the menu before I read what you'd ordered and I was hoping you'd ordered the Calves Head!! So glad you enjoyed your dining experience there :) The service sounded friendly.. that puts me at ease immediately in a restaurant.

I suppose it does look like really fatty roast pork :) It's definitely worth a trip to! I just wish all the Louvre signs wasn't entirely in French. I know they have extreme national pride there but considering the amount of overseas visitors, an English sign wouldn't hurt? Hi grace-Hehe I know! It's the stuff that nightmares are made of *shudders*. :lol: Hi Lilia-Afraid so! I suppose it does look like really fatty roast pork :) It’s definitely worth a trip to!

Explode? Please explain: “must be fully cooked (never undercooked) and allowed to cool completely once it has finished cooking, otherwise it will explode.”
