Bovinappropriate?

• Pudlo has a cow about last night’s pro-meat rally at the Maison de l’Aubrac. He hates butcher Yves-Marie Le Bourdonnec’s slogan “I Love Bidoche” (that’s slang for meat), finding it insufficiently respectful of the noble beef cow.

Happy Plates

• Alec Lobrano says that Dans les Landes, the newish tapas bar from the chef behind Afaria, has “quickly become one of my favorite places to eat in the Latin Quarter.” He polished off, during this most recent visit, a platter of Ospital charcuterie, tortilla with truffle cream, deep fried chipirons, baby clams with chick peas and avocado, “the best little barbecued pork ribs I’ve ever eaten in Paris,” and two or three other dishes. Color us impressed. [Hungry for Paris]
