'I ate popular Paris street food – and immediately regretted it after what I saw'

A tourist in Paris tried a street food without hesitation – but soon regretted it afterwards. Mark Roberts, an American visiting the French capital, was by the Eiffel Tower when he came across a stand selling crepes. Upon realising he hadn't tried one yet during his visit to Paris, he decided to get one but he wished he hadn't. He is now telling people what street food to avoid in Paris after what he discovered.
After savouring the dessert, he spotted the man who served him his crepe walk past him holding bags containing the crepe ingredients. He was disgusted as he watched the vendor put the bags in the sewer and Mark posted a video on TikTok to tell the tale.
In the video he said: "Why did no one warn me not to eat the crepes in Paris before I came to Paris? Because yesterday I ate a crepe in Paris and I almost instantaneously regretted it.". He explained that “everything was normal at first” and he decided to visit the Eiffel Tower at night after hearing that it "sparkles". When he got there he was glad to see that it did indeed sparkle and while he was there he spotted a crepe stand and decided to buy one.
The American tourist headed to the stand and spent 15 Euros on a Nutella crepe with strawberries and bananas. He admitted he paid "way too much for it" but since he was at the Eiffel Tower he could “kind of justify” the price and he thought the man making the crepe was “super nice and friendly”.
Mark continued: “None the less he gets done making my crepe and he hands it to me and this thing just looks beautiful, I’m ready to eat it. Now I like to sit down when I eat so I needed to find a bench and near the Eiffel Tower it’s super crowded so all the benches were filled so I had to walk a bit to find a bench that I could sit on but eventually I found an empty bench and I started eating my crepe and it was in fact delicious.
