Pain Chaud

I had to go the bank today so I ended up straying close to the other end of town and stumbled across a French market.

The market was full of people trying the cheese, meats and pates brought here to tempt us all to buy. The bread seemed to be selling the best and the baker had even brought a portable oven to produce fresh bread all day long.

Wandering home with a bag of croissants, cheeses, saucisson and a warm baguette (wrapped with a small paper bag covering the middle of the bread) in my hand my mind drifted back to time spent in Paris and Prague where one of the things which struck me was how the simple act of buying bread was a daily event. The bread we eat in this country simply doesn't compare.

So, tonight instead of crisps we'll have la nourriture de la France.

Bon Appétit !
