Crevette Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Does anyone know how you can refer a restaurant to be inspected by the health authorities?Just had a pretty bad experience where (in our party of 12) three of us found hairs in the dishes, and another one found a piece of plastic.Upon complaining about the plastic, the cooks response was to reach out and remove the plastic with his hands and say there was no longer a problem! I'm not usually the complaining sort, but this goes way too far in my books.Regards,-Rob- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaligoBay Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Maybe this is normal for France, Crevette?We got some ice cream in Aigues Mortes once, and there were maggots in it!

Crevette Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share Posted September 26, 2006 You could be right... the only other time in my life when I have had a problem was in Montpellier when I had a dead cockroach in my "salad composé" - mind you I should have seen the warning signs as I saw on another menu, someone had written added a "dé" to make "salad décomposé"!I was offered another salad which I politely refused! -Rob- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crevette Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share Posted September 26, 2006 I received a private post (many thanks!) which told me that DRAS (Directions Départementales des Affaires Sanitaires et Sociales) inspect the restaurant. A list of all the telephone numebrs by department can be found here.I will be contacting them soon...http://www.unahfrance.org/ddass.htm#14Regards,-Rob- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miki Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 [quote]Montpellier, eh? Funny that! I keep telling people, but they just won't listen! [:D][/quote]Oh I certainly heard alright. I even gave the town a swerve on the way back from holiday and found a McDo further north [:D]The best one, is that on more than one occasion, when a blue cheese has beenbrought to the table with maggots present and the waiter has said"mais c'est protein" No I jest, they have said when questioned of this mere detail "c'estnormale" and I promise you (and I bet others have witnessed this) Ihave seen French people just put the wiggly things aside and carried onmunching the cheeese. I guess I will never be an integrated, try as I might, I just cannot pass the maggot test.................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmto Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I know that certain Corsican and Sardinian cheeses are meant to be eaten only when riddled with maggots. Does anyone know which cheeses they are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
