Things I Learned While Eating Breakfast at The Mecure Annemasse in France

  1. 12” tweezers exist, and are surprisingly functional when picking out individual breakfast meat slices.

  2. The French, like most other Europeans, eat heavy lunch meat for breakfast. Which I inartfully and routinely steal in the form of a sandwich for later.

  3. Christopher Cross has a greatest hits album, which the Mecure breakfast cook or someone in a position of power loves a little too much.

  4. French cottage cheese is tweaked yogurt, no chunks.

  5. Serving filter (“American”) coffee and American bacon pains the French to no end, although they are resigned to it.
