I have been taking my small group tours to Italy and Paris for years. Although I know my French and Italian pretty well, ordering from a menu can be a challenge. For example, when dining at Aux Lyonnais in Paris, exactly what am I getting when I order "Caillette de Chabeuil" or "Gigot d'agneau de lait roti"? In Rome, what happens next when I order "Braciolette d’abacchio ai ferri con patate" or "Straccetti di calamari alla piastra". Use this travel product of the month to avoid using the hazardous "point and pray" method when ordering off a French or Italian menu.

Check out my Paris blog post to see The Traveling Professor's favorites for lunch in Paris.
