Tales from France – Tete de Veau – bone out!

tete-de-veau

On our recent trip to France, to celebrate our Granddaughter’s second Birthday, the funniest moment (from my point-of-view) was a meal enjoyed at a local restaurant.

My favourite sopa da Mar at the Feira da Sopa in Rogil

We’ve attended many fairs and festivals in Portugal, however this has to rank as not only the most interesting but the most humbling lesson in social integration and how welcoming a small community can be. The day of the “Feira da Sopa” (Soup Fair) dawned cold, damp and miserable. In fact, it was the sort …
