There is some confusion on my comments on meat n veg in France So I will try to clear this up.
Meat:- the meat is great, tasty and not injected with water. (as far as we could tell) Howver it is very expensive. As to the butchery I am afraid I have to say that in my view it is poor. Meat especially things like steak should be cut across the grain, to aid tenderness not along it as we found in the areas of France we have been in, mainly Normandy, Brittany and the Loire. Also for example Lamb chops look as if they have cut by the mad axeman, bits of bone all over and some are like tissue paper and some like a joint.
Veg:- really expensive. Also we looked in the supermarkets, local veg shops and the markets. All the veg looked as if it was harvested last week. It looked tired!
OK I love France and have really enjoyed our trip, but as in the UK life is not perfect and I have told it like we found it. Nevertheless we look forward to our next trip.
