I’m really happy about the traiteur (caterer) service available here in France. Especially for the lazy days when you have to go shopping but you really can’t be bothered to cook. This is not fast food, but food that you would make for yourself at home.
We have two excellent traiteurs in the open market and I frequent them both. Today I bought not quite baby back ribs (travers) that had been cured in brine and then roasted, tartiflette (bacon, cheese and potatoes) from the traiteur and some heirloom tomatoes from my favorite vegetable stand.
I did paint the ribs with barbecue sauce before eating; the French don’t know about that. It tasted like barbecued ham, but in a good way. Meat and potatoes for those rainy, icy days. Large portions!
“Fast food” the French way – it´s soooo good! Those ribs and tomatoes look amazing. Just what I fancy for my lunch 🙂 (if only)
Thank you Chica.
Such a pretty plate deserves a lunch like this on it.
Thank you.
Wow, what a cool service and I love your appreciation for BBQ.
With family from Louisiana and Texas, I would really be weird if I didn’t like BBQ 🙂
At least in France one can always be assured of salade de carottes and céleri rémoulade. Being in the midst of a kitchen renovation, I sure do wish I had a traiteur nearby!
Hold on Michelle. I did a renovation about a year ago and all the stress and inconvenience was worth it! Kentucky Fried? Just kidding 🙂
Wheres the recipe???
Hello Brian. As I said, I got this meal from the traiteur.
