Almost French Food

Breakfast on our patio: bread and jam is a typical
breakfast in French homes where we have stayed
with friends. Orange juice: not so much.
Of course there's always coffee.

Preparing a snack for distanced dining: a Provençal onion tart called a
Pissaladière, referring to salted fish. We substituted smoked salmon for the
traditional anchovies.

Ready for another distanced visit.
Two tables, chairs more than 6' apart.

French pommes à l'huile: potato salad with
oil and herbs. I garnished it with roasted red pepper.
That may not be a French thing to do.
The vegetarian Beyond Burgers and the ketchup
are pretty much 100% American!

A salad of French green lentils, red onion, celery, dried tomato, and cilantro
with lemon vinaigrette. The lentils are French, but I'm not sure about the rest.

We are long-term lovers of French food, and even though we are currently avoiding beef and pork, we continue to enjoy some French-style meals -- or at least some French-style dishes within American meals. One of these days we'll order some local lamb or beef direct from farmers, not from monster slaughter houses where workers are mistreated.
