You haven't experienced a sandwicherie not want to sell sandwiches(that you can clearly see on the rear counter) at 3pm because we don't sell sandwiches at 3 as no one wants them.

I think the general French disinterest in dietary requirements, that don’t line up with typical French cuisine, definitely contributed to the experience.
But I agree, I was a bit put out at the lack of trying to make me welcome on first time of meeting that particular branch of extended family, which I accept is not something to be attributed based on nationality!
The bread lunch was at a restaurant in a private function room, but don’t worry dinner back at their home saved the day - that was a vegetarian salad with lardons…

To give an idea what the French think of vegetarianism/veganism/allergies, I’ve sat and ate nothing but bread at a family gathering because “it’s no problem, he can push it to the side”.
