klwilliamsI flew to St. Paul today for a business conference. I want to give a shout out to Frontier Airlines, which I haven't flown in years, and boy have I been missing out. Comfy planes, lots of leg room, video screens at every seat, signs of intelligence everywhere. Fly them if you can. Now, on to peas.
I tried to find a place that didn't just serve $40 steaks and french fries, so the hotel bartender pointed me at a small French restaurant. I opted to have a gnocchi appetizer instead of the frog legs, and when I perused the entree [my French friend Eric says, "Of course the entree is the main meal. Because "entree" means "first"." Eric is constantly amazed at how French is misused in mainstream American English.] section I spotted the Composition of Spring Peas option. This was a plate with four small items on it, all delicious: pea pancakes, sweet pea flan, pea-ricotta mousse, and pea salad. Wow. I have never had peas served like that, and if you ever get a chance to, do. And if you're ever in St. Paul, go to Meritage (http://www.meritage-stpaul.com/).
Yes, not much of a food review, but I'm lousy at reviews.
