Calling all Francophile gourmands er... gourmets

[Nick Armstrong]

Some entrepreneurial French folk have turned a dowdy 'supermarket' at the end of my road into a tempting French food shop and have set up an online ordering service for French foods of all kinds.

Those craving a little je ne sais quoi to keep them going until their next trip south of the Channel should give it serious consideration

Hmm, do I see a Petit Munster? :-)

And perfect for those wanting a Euronibble to sustain them for a trip to the Proms.

Good to see that the north is catching up though...we had a carrefour in Eastleigh back in the mid 70's.....

I had NO idea that TUC crackers were french.

My favourite French restaurants are on Mont St Michel and at Sauverterre-de-Bearne in SW France.

In fact they are my favourite restaurants anywhere.

On topic, many thanks for the pointer, Cali.

... have to say - looking at the website - that the cheeses on offer at Caliban's place aren't pertick'ly alluring - not, fr'instance, when compared to la Fromagerie in Marylebone...

I would readily concede that the local concentrates on the more familiar French name brands, rather than the more haut-falootin' connoisseur market

That's a great selection. However, I have a naughty confession to make. On my last visit to France, I sat on the balcony eating a baton of French wholemeal bread with real Hawes Wensleydale cheese - the perfect combination.
