Coffee and Cognac

It appears that a coffee, specifically an espresso, and a Cognac, together, are the drinks of choice on Saturdays, after lunch in Alsace. The area is famed for its long winding road that travels through the vineyards, with pit stops and dozens of wineries and tasting rooms. But a lunch time, after the aperitifs and de rigueur glasses, carafes or bottles of wine, out comes the Cognac and coffee. It's a ritual.

Originally I thought that this early afternoon imbibing was geared only to tourists, as there are many who flock to the quaint towns of Alsace. But in fact, the tourists hop back into their cars and race to the next town while the locals, the families at enormous tables who are catching up for the week, the workers, who gather still in on-the-clock garb, are all talking and eating and then wind down with a coffee and Cognac.

Time for Trout

The lakes around Alsace are filled with trout, my server told me, when I asked with the fish was fresh and local. So I couldn't pass up the opportunity to give the restaurant's lunchtime special a try. Fish isn't fussed up when it's served in France. You get the head, the tail, the bones, and though I was out of my element when it came to deboning, the server came to my rescue to show be just how to do it. First she slice off the head and put it in a separate plate, just for bones, then she sliced through the back of the fish, lifting the skin and meat away from the bones. I'm certainly not yet an expert, but I did expertly remove the backbone of my second trout and cleaned my plate. Any tips can you offer me for deboning fish?
