Lentils and little pieces of bread, beans, spelt, potatoes and carrots...it's my favourite kind of food during cold winters. <br />That "cordial loathing" you talk about is well-known and it sounds like a Shakesperian tale...but it hasn't the mesmerizing charm of Montagues & Capulets' hatred.<br />I think that a country which makes my heart beat faster so far is Egypt...for several reasons. <br />P.S.

Plenty of discontent about these regional changes, I don't blame them. It's akin to classifying Southampton in the province of Portsmouth of vice versa. Isn't it curious that certain Italian cities still have English names? Turin, Padua, Venice, Naples...

But it's probably a plant which bears beans because that's what the pack contains: a great soup mixture of different dried lentils and beans.<br />And (as I'm sure you know!) "Zuppa Primavera" translates as "spring soup". <br /><br />Enjoy Paris!Sharon Kendrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18006524698711143868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7625290842452474467.post-75839817185574268472012-11-03T17:28:44.953+00:002012-11-03T17:28:44.953+00:00Also, what is that vegetable?Also, what is that vegetable?Celiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16378397443732572813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7625290842452474467.post-32966992768020643372012-11-03T17:27:51.371+00:002012-11-03T17:27:51.371+00:00Great blog post.
