And isn't food (and wine) one of our primary reasons for going to France? In the U.S., seeing "entrée" on a menu for the listing of the main dishes always makes me want leave. In France, the entées are sometimes more inventive and interesting than the plat principals. My wife often orders two entrées and no plat. It is enough food for her and she enjoys the variety. Lunch is a good time to eat out in France. We often do that (usually one a bike rid) and then cook at our rented house in the evening.
I know! I'm usually more thrilled with the first course than with the plat principal! And ordering two is genius! I'm also with you on the eating out at lunch and cooking in at night--so often what we do, too!
