Paris Still Life

With Smirnoff ...

I finally had to ask someone in the Carrefour Marché. 

Ou est le jus de Tomate?

After some confusion about my terminology, my accent, my appearance and my vocabulary, I found out that what I wanted was Tomate de Marmande.

Not jus de Tomate.

No wonder I couldn't find it.

I had been looking for jus.

Luckily the Smirnoff was on the liquor aisle.

So I didn't have to ask.

It turns out Tomate de Marmande works just like jus de Tomate would work, if there were such a thing.

As jus de Tomate.

Works, with vodka, lime and tabasco.

But there isn't such a thing.

As jus de Tomate.

At least I couldn't find any.

That day in Carrefour.

Maybe some other day.
