[France] Canteen lunch at my husband’s work. I went for lunch too! Shrimp with rice and peri peri sauce, quinoa salad with tomatoes and feta, and Mont Blanc with blueberries for dessert

1. My husband invited me to have lunch with him at his office. As stated above, I chose the shrimp with peri peri sauce and, honestly, it was really flavorful and kinda spicy. I loved it. The quinoa salad could have used some more dressing/olive oil as it was rather dry. The “Mont Blanc aux myrtilles” was very good and something I never had before. It was kind of like a cream but with a sandy texture, which I later discovered was most likely from chestnut puree whipped inside of it. It had pieces of meringue on top which I thought were too sweet and didn’t really like them, but overall it was a really good dessert! My lunch was 13 euros. To drink I got peach flavored sparkling water which was included.

   He got white fish with a fruit chutney on top, broccoli, grains, roasted potatoes, and a fig tarte for dessert. He paid around 4 euros for his meal because his office subsidizes the meal.

   In theory I can go anytime to eat with him as his guest, I just have to pay full price for the meal! I’m so happy I was able to go!
