Ben een grote ‘Pipo’ fan! Heerlijk zijn ze.

One of my acquaintances here is a former deputy mayor of Nice whose remit included oversight of food services in the schools—apparently a job quite difficult given the ethnic diversity of many neighbourhoods and the strong opinions of parents. We recently chatted about these specialty foods one finds in Nice, which she characterises as “the food the poor”—generally inexpensively sourced local foods that contrast with what one thinks of as traditional French cooking. It’s a good thing I like olives, chick peas and anchovies! And while there might be some consistency with the salades niçoises, not so with the so-called Caesar salad: I’ve yet to have one that seemed familiar, and oddly they never include anchovies!
