The croque monsieur may look like nothing more than a fancy grilled ham and cheese, but Paris’ favorite café sandwich has a surprisingly strange history.
This week, Emily and Caroline trace the origins of the croque monsieur from Belle Époque cafés and the bustling markets of Les Halles to modern Parisian versions topped with truffle, caviar, and artisanal cheeses. Along the way, they unpack the bizarre cannibal rumor that may have inspired its name, debate whether the croque madame is actually superior, and ask an important question: is the classic croque monsieur genuinely delicious, or are we all just nostalgic for melted cheese?
Expect Paris ham, Emmental slander, Marcel Proust, Prince de Paris, and plenty of opinions about what makes a truly great crunchy mister.
