To me, at that age, it was a great adventure. I still remember some of the things I ate. The lake boat I was on happened to have a famous French chef who was working there as a rest from his usually heavy duties. I think he must have enjoyed it, to make so many good things. I liked this soup so much, I insisted my father ask for the recipe for me. We were successful in getting it.
