The Raclette

So I'm back from an absolutely AMAZING time in Montpellier. It was my first time at the Mediterranean Sea (to those back home, it's quite warm here: Canadian beach weather).
Never before have I been so happy.

At the Mediterranean Sea for the first time!
 Only about 200 photos later did I come home. But more on Montpellier for the next time. I have to tell you about dinner tonight!

It's called a raclette. I looked it up online and apparently it has Swedish backgrounds, but to me, it felt really French. You have plates of cheese and meat. On the side you can have tiny pickles, salad, tiny pieces of corn, tiny onions, etc. And you have potatoes.
In the center there's this weird contraption that you heat up and then you pull these little trays from the middle of it. In the trays you put cheese, put it back in the contraption, and after it all melts, you scrape it out with a mini spatula and eat it on the potatoes or whatnot.
Due to the fact that I can't eat cheese (boo life) I just ate two potatoes. But they never eat potatoes here so I felt that it was such a treat just the same! I love me 'em potatoes!
Yes, that was dinner. pretty cool.
