Reminded me of the one time I did make it to France. I was eating at a bouchon in Lyon with a Japanese friend who lived there. Next to us was another Japanese person (we could tell because he was reading his Japanese guidebook). We got to talking, and it turns out that the stranger was on his way from Paris to Geneva to meet his friend, and he had some French butter as a souvenir.
I had no idea that butter could be so special. I guess the tape measure is so long because of expansion after eating all the rich food! The pictures make me want to visit Nantes.
these photos (+ that description of beurre charentes-poitou) are heavenly 🥰
