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.
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!
