On Sunday I went to the annual
At the convention center at Porte de Versailles (ligne 12).
I headed to HALLE 7 at the back end of the convention center
For the French 🇫🇷
And international products (Rhum)
Of stopping (Italian Gelato -Pistache)
On the 1st floor (Algerian dates)
To browse (Italian olives 🫒)
The
International (Swiss Gruyère 🧀 )
Foods 🫣 (can’t remember).
Up to the top floor (French)
You can tell by the proliferation of French 🇫🇷
marinere stripped shirts,
Selling French 🇫🇷 omelettes 🥚 of course.
Lovely waffles 🧇 (I resisted but when I return…)
I did not resist (zinc + protein). I was feeling weak..
At least they give you big samples at the nougat counter…easier to resist.
I can resist…too many choices.
The Salon is an annual landline of temptation.
My husband and I would devour the olive bar and the gelato! Delicious post!
ReplyDeleteI did 🫒 🍦 ❤️
DeleteI have only been to one agricultural fair here in the US years ago; it was not open to the public but I was in culinary school and a teacher gave me a pass. It was nothing like this one you have shown us. This is spectacular!! I would have fainted away at the mounds of products. Amazing! Thank you..someone who lasted 8 years in the industry and finally threw in the towel..kitchen towel..
ReplyDeleteYes, this Salon is unique. It’s a ritual for Parisians to take their children at least once and many go every year. It’s also a BIG party for young Parisians who enjoy the beer 🍺 music and farm food.
DeleteI would love to go to one of the big agricultural fairs outside Paris, and this is not a priority of any potential travel companions! Thanks for taking me there Carol !
ReplyDeleteI’m not sure there is anything on this scale outside Paris. There are many specialized fête of course that are great fun. This is an important annual farm industry fair with halle’s full of equipment and seeds etc.
DeleteTell me, did you go alone? I wish I had been there with you to share EVERYTHING - the best way to go a food show - small portions of lots of things! I love these posts, all the food pics. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYes, I go alone. I would love to have an accomplice. In the past I went many times with SOLLI, since we are both doing research 🔬 🔎 Most others are buying and bring their trolleys. Stuff is heavy! Or else families introducing their children to chickens 🐓 cows 🐄 sheep 🐑 It is school holidays for the week.
