You sip a vin blanc cassis, or demi pression, watching the world go by your Paris café table. You have just ordered a croque-monsieur.
Sadly, the anticipation proves more enjoyable than the reality. More often than should be the case, this long-time favourite Parisian bar snack is a travesty of the real thing.
