Food seems expensive sometimes in France but at least there is plenty of it to choose from. <br />In our brief experiment in growing veg we never tried cauliflower. The veg patch wasn't big enough in the UK and was put to better use growing broad beans.

It reminded me of the bright yellow pepper soups that became briefly trendy back in the eighties but I suspect that yours has much more flavour than most of those. Having tried to grow decent caulis myself, I'm amazed that they can be sold as cheaply as they are sometimes in this country. Although that could be the result of my shoddy veg growing skills.Phil in the Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15904292856978631382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896642794207631523.post-85980402626602058802021-09-20T09:36:47.622+01:002021-09-20T09:36:47.622+01:00To think that I almost hesitated for half a minute...To think that I almost hesitated for half a minute before buying this soup maker to keep in France!!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896642794207631523.post-81581389394921190782021-09-20T09:34:45.414+01:002021-09-20T09:34:45.414+01:00I read a dash between 2-3 carrots.

The more expensive day two tests will still be required. We have got ours for £48 each but they can cost much more than that. (Or much less if you live near enough to a drive through test centre.)<br />Personally I would have thought it made more sense to have the pre travel tests in France still in place, so that people can only board their plane, ferry or train if they are vaccinated and have a negative test. In other words nobody entering the country could have the virus and the risk of spreading it. The govt has chosen to do it the other way around, allowing potentially infected people back into the country then testing them after two days when they might have passed it on to lots of other people.<br />Still, it keeps the UK testing people in business..........Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896642794207631523.post-56747365083396848402021-09-19T13:20:35.659+01:002021-09-19T13:20:35.659+01:00Heck yes just looked it up.
