  • I’m in rural France at the mo. Struggling somewhat!
    Bought a tin of what we thought were lentils in brine. Nope, suspended in duck fat. Bleurgh!

  • I used to spend a lot of time touring Europe with bands, always dreaded spending time in France for this reason! If the promoters didn't feed us we'd end up just eating bread, fruit and salad. Pretty weird considering how vegan friendly most of mainland Europe is.

  • Why 'suspended'? Literal translation from French or just a phrase I haven't heard before?

    There was some book, perhaps 'Vegetarian France' by Vegetarian Guides, which explained all the possible pitfalls in France. I think I read the edition that was current in 2002 before I spent a couple of days in Paris once. Then again, it may have been something else, my memory is hazy. I'll see if I can find it in the next few days, should still have it somewhere. Too late for you now, but may be a good tip for the future.
