Another fabulous travel highlight, this time from Charlotte Smith:
The Dog’s Dinner.
While travelling from England to Spain with our dog, Billy, we stopped in the French town of Blois, and went in search of much needed refreshments.
Happily, the French welcome dogs in restaurants, and the waiter didn’t bat an eyelid when I dredged up some Franglais and ordered ‘un petit burger’ for Billy.
On the bill, I noticed ‘steak hache de cheval’, which at eight euros cost more than my salad.
We left the restaurant muttering a silent prayer for the poor horse that had become our dog’s dinner.
At least he enjoyed every mouthful.
