No Country for Vegetarians 2011...... continued


NO COUNTRY FOR VEGETARIANS

So when we get to St Flour why not start with a vegetarian beer (is beer vegetarian?)


The object of this idyll is to do a job and work it is - we drive, we drive,we drive, we dine, we dine, we dine.
Every day come hail or sunshine we are either doing kilometres on the autoroute, or recording segments in markets, dairy's, fromageries, restaurants and charcuteries.  In between times we edit the segments and maybe wash some clothes.
I try to hide the fact that I have been a vegetarian since 1981,  but hey I just cant hide it - that's me.
And trust me a lot of people notice especially in France.
Why?
The markets are absolutely full of the freshest produce.
Organic (biologique) is maybe more common than it used to be but the french have never strayed far from organic ideals for very long.
Beside the freshest of poultry and meats are the most grandest displays of fabulous vegetables equal to if not better than what you will find anywhere.
