I STRATEGIES FOR DINING IN PARIS 11 French food. ..at times savory, at timesI succulent, at times scrumptious, at all times| a stupendous pain in the derriere to get, Ify and when you muster the courage to enter a1 Paris restaurant and encounter those ven-
. nous creatures lying in wait(er), be sure toi bring the following kit of strategies.
I 1. Don't be seen and don't be heard.1 This should be your first approach to| Parisian dining. Act like an apparition with aI bad case of laryngitis. If the waiter thinks1 YOU are ignoring HIM, he will become infuri-1 ated and trip over himself trying to regain his| audience. Do not speak. Just point. If he| hears even the hint of English, you may as1 well forget about eating for the next four1 hours.3
I 2. Don't be seen but be heard. This is1 a slight modification of the first approach to1 be employed when other patrons are equally| well prepared. Simply use your index finger1 and thumb to create a vise for your nose,
squeeze and beckon, "Gargon, gargon!"This means "boy." In almost every case, thewaiter will promptly rush to your table out ofembarrassment because everyone in therestaurant will realize who is being scolded.
3. Be seen and be heard. This is yourfail-safe mechanism in the event that servicedespite adherence to the aforementionedstrategies, remains shoddy. Wave yourarms frantically at the waiter. Jump up anddown in your seat. For perspective, pretendthat you're a second-grader seeking permis-sion to bid a hasty exit to the bathroom. Atthe same time, initiate verbal blasts.Presume that for every incremental increasein the pitch and volume of your speech, thewaiter gains greater comprehension ofEnglish.
Personally, 1 rather enjoy skipping rightto strategy number three and starting a cho-rus of "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall," whichalways seems to do the trick. Find whatworks best for you and bon appetit!
