New Years Eve in Paris?
Where are the popular places in Paris on New Year's Eve? In the USA I
guess it would be Times Square in NYC (if you happen to be there). Any
suggestions on places, times, etc. And, are there any places to stay
away from? Thanks.

The Champs-Élysées is the usual gathering place, but it's a madhouse, so
beware.

I don't go out at all on New Year's Eve. Too many drunken, angry young
males from the suburbs.

chopped
Cut the children?s butts and the beef roast into pieces
that will fit in the grinder.
Run the meat through using a 3/16 grinding plate.
Add garlic, onions and seasoning then mix well.
Add just enough water for a smooth consistency, then mix again.
Form the sausage mixture into patties or stuff into natural casings.
Stillborn Stew
By definition, this meat cannot be had altogether fresh,
but have the lifeless unfortunate available immediately after delivery,
or use high quality beef or pork roasts (it is cheaper and better to
cut up a whole roast than to buy stew meat).
1 stillbirth, de-boned and cubed
¼ cup vegetable oil
2 large onions
bell pepper
celery
garlic
½ cup red wine
3 Irish potatoes
2 large carrots
This is a simple classic stew that makes natural gravy,
thus it does not have to be thickened.
Brown the meat quickly in very hot oil, remove and set aside.
Brown the onions, celery, pepper and garlic.
De-glaze with wine, return meat to the pan and season well.
Stew on low fire adding small amounts of water and
seasoning as necessary.
After at least half an hour, add the carrots and potatoes,
and simmer till root vegetables break with a fork.
Cook a fresh pot of long grained white rice.
Pre-mie Pot Pie

Re: New Years Eve in Paris?
about 6 minutes on each side.
Shish Kababes
As old as the hills, this technique has employed seafood, beef, pork, lamb,
poultry, and vegetables; just about anything can be grilled, and young humans
are no exception!
High quality marinade (Teriyaki and garlic perhaps)
1 inch cubes of tender meat, preferably from the nursery
Onions
bell peppers
Wooden or metal skewers
Marinate the meat overnight.
Get the grill good and hot while placing meat, vegetables, and
fruit such as pineapples or cherries on the skewers.
Don?t be afraid to use a variety of meats.
Grill to medium rare,
serve with garlic cous-cous and sautéed asparagus.
Coffee and sherbet for desert then walnuts, cheese, and port.
Cigars for the gentlemen (and ladies if they so desire)!
Crock-Pot Crack Baby
When the quivering, hopelessly addicted crack baby succumbs to death,
get him immediately butchered and into the crock-pot, so that any
remaining toxins will not be fatal. But don?t cook it too long,
because like Blowfish, there is a perfect medium between the poisonous
and the stimulating. Though it may not have the same effect on your
guests, a whole chicken cooked in this fashion is also mighty tasty.
1 newborn - cocaine addicted, freshly expired, cleaned and butchered
Carrots
onions
leeks
celery
bell pepper
potatoes
Salt
pepper
garlic, etc
4 cups water
Cut the meat into natural pieces and brown very well in olive oil,
remove, then brown half of the onions, the bell pepper, and celery.
When brown, mix everything into the crock-pot, and in 6 to 8 hours you
have turned a hopeless tragedy into a heartwarming meal!
George?s Bloody Mary
Don?t shy away from this one, it is simply a cocktail variation of
good old Blood Stew. When a pig is killed, its throat is slit and
those present quaff a cup of hot blood to soften the wintry air.
From the dawn of man to this day, humans have always drunk blood!

Sounds awful to me. Thousands of people all trying to get away from
one another. Is there at least of lot of kissing going on at midnight,
like in Scotland?

So just wander round with a psychotic look in your eye, and they will
leave you alone.

They aren't trying to get away from each other, but they are mostly
drunk and rowdy. Lots of drunken young males from the suburbs. For the
police it is quite a nightmare.
A serious problem on New Year's Eve is the prevalent detonation of
massive (nearly cigar-sized) firecrackers. Some young males even enjoy
putting the firecrackers inside bottles before detonating them. There
is a real risk of eye and especially ear damage with these firecrackers
constantly going off in the crowd.
If for some reason I absolutely must go out on New Year's Eve, I wear
earplugs to protect my ears, and I've been tempted to wear safety
goggles as well.

I don't know, but my impression is that most lips are pressed against
bottles and cans, not other lips. The French use any occasion as an
excuse for drinking to excess.

Why? Then you look just like them.
