Wendy, <BR>I guess the most memorable was the first. My first trip to Paris in 1997 while walking through the Touleries Gardens. There is an outdoor snack bar/cafe. I thought I'd found heaven! Once my trip was over, I found myself at my local grocery store buying ham and emmentaler (sp?) cheese and trying to make them at home. Definitely not the same!

I was just going through the new Sur La Table catalog and they sell a Croque Monsieur Electric Sandwich Grill for $45USD. I'm sure they're also at www.surlatable.com. Finding Paris- quality jambon in Ohio will be another story. <BR>j.

Perhaps it was the setting rather than the croque monsieur itself, or perhaps it was because it was my first croque monsieur in Paris, but my favourite was at the cafe in the gardens of the Musee Rodin. It was a beautiful sunny warm day in August, with a lovely light breeze, and we enjoyed a wonderful lunch of croque monsieurs, salads, and tartes aux pommes, sitting amidst the trees, flowers and sculptures of the gardens.
