Mary in Europe: Pau, France

[Donna McCreary]

The restaurant has good reviews .. http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserRevie...taine.html

Check out the photos of the food. The desserts look good

If Mary had tried these she probably wouldn't have complained to her grand-nephew Lewis Baker: "How much I long to...have a taste of your dear grandmother's good food—waffles, batter cakes, egg corn bread are all unknown here— as to biscuits, light rolls they have never been dreamed of, not to speak of buckwheat cake."

The foods Mary listed in the letter are plain, basic foods. Perhaps she did try the desserts and wanted something more simple.
