Ok, now I am reading this article and I feel stupid after my comment on your article about French-style Slaw (feel free to erase it)… So, it looks like I am only adding apple, in comparaison to your version Give it a try !

Have you ever tried cheese from the Pays Basque ? Ossau-Iraty, etorki… ? It is delicious.

It sounds yummy I consider “slaw” a salad but that’s personal lol. My favourite one is with endives, walnut, raisins, apple and blue cheese (St Agur or Société Crème) . For the vinaigrette, a home-made one + mayonnaise (+Société Crème if it is what you chose) on endives only. And then you can add everything else and mix it a bit. Tell me what you think of it if you ever try it

It is hard to get people to change and look at their ideas in an objective way, but stick with it! It’s worth the effort trying different diets and finding what works for you. It’s great to see, however, how many vegetarian restaurants are popping up around Paris.

Thanks for the info. I haven’t tried it with eggs, but that’s a great idea. I’ll have to give it a try!

Have you ever tried it with eggs ? My mum breaks eggs in it and I must say I prefer it this way – it’s more “creamy”. My mum claims it’s called a “chakchouka”, which comes from the fact that her father was born in Tunisia and it’s a common way to eat it, whereas my boyfriend (from Toulouse) claims it is called a “piperade”. I have no idea who’s right or wrong, but it’s really good

I’m a vegetarian (no meat, no fish, no seafood) for a couple of months now and it is still hard to have my parents adapting their meal to my diet. In fact, it is hard everywhere as you’ve said it : today, I went to the cantine of the IUFM and it was Christmas meal… I ended up with just pommes duchesses and yogurts and cheese. It is quite depressing to see how poorly adapted our cuisine is. And how poorly informed people are about it !
