“His schwarzbrot has won praise”
OK, schwarzbrot is not a metaphor,right?
No, Parigi, schwarzbrot is not a metaphor. It is delicious, though.
Also absolutely delicious here are the small chocolate cakes with the mushy warm chocolate centers. I am only sad to wake up on a Sunday morning, check this page and realise they are closed.
I love this bakery, but the register worker is SO RUDE, even by Parisian standards. She is so unfriendly, pushy, and lacking in people skills that I am considering going elsewhere from now on.
