Eating, what and where to eat

Eating can be a challenge, an adventure, a delight,
and even a problem for the squeamish.

 
Ingredients, preparation, and taste are, in general, highly recommendable. In addition to its refinement, provençal cooking is notoriously balanced and wholesome. The cuisine du "Midi" >meedee< (south of France), is composed largely of locally grown produce, and reflects the daily and seasonal market.
