Agree, F.O.S. there is VERY good, but, not that good ! Time to make it at home, there are some FABULOUS on line recipes, butter, caramelized onions, beef broth.. sounds like some high class French cooking but actually not difficult to make VERY VERY good F.O.S. at home... try Julia Child's classic recipe to start with... Make your own large round crouton with a cookie cutter and you can find Gruyere cheese at Aldi ...have fun with the new hobby, we make it at least twice a month. An aside, eating out in the villages is really getting a bit out of hand price wise. Sure, things have really gone up, up, up with the inflation following the Covid pandemic, but $14-$18 cups (and a "cup" is never a full 8 oz ! ), and nearly $15 for a big mac meal deal, home cooking gets better and better, LOL, and that's not inexpensive !
