Answer 1

It's been a while since I was there, but I recall that when meat is served, it's in a lot smaller portions than it is in America. I didn't see any 18 ounce steaks at the Paris cafes. However, when I was in Germany, I ordered some so-called vegetarian dish and it had a bunch of vegetables and little pieces of pork! Go figure.

Answer 2

You need to get your Protein from someplace. Perhaps you should stick to Bread and Cheese and Red Wine.
