Not sure what they did to you but I have a sister that lives in a small village in France, visited back in 2019, incredible scenery, food, wine and the folks are pretty friendly in the country, they are just ok in Paris, helps if you speak a little of the language. I had the best steak and frites of my life in Paris....and a bunch of friends from Argentina (from our old neighborhood)....they love to party and know how to cook a steak for sure....
My friends above would often have informal get togethers with Choripan being the main course....I used to get them from the same Latin market....my friend Oscar made his own chimmichurra ....light olive oil, parsley, finely minced garlic, oregano and a squeeze of lemon....on a baguette.....outstanding....
