A French lady I know ( beautiful, slim, lively and fun) once talked to me about growing up on the Cote d'Azur as a little girl in the 40's. A magical moment to be sure.
We talked about school and friends, and clothes, and family life. So many details to enjoy, but one that made me smile was her description of her favourite mid afternoon snack, when she came home from school. "Pain au chocolat?" I asked, already imagining her at the baker's counter. "Non, non" she frowned, "too sweet, way too sweet".
That little girl's idea of heaven was a slice of bread, a clove of garlic opened up and rubbed on the bread, then a trickle of olive oil.
France and the French never cease to delight!
Wishing you all a fragrant weekend!
