VEG CHEESE AND MARGARET

Marché day in Soissons and lots to be had! Biggest cabbages we have ever seen, and nice carrots.

Carottes, navets et radis.

For those amongst us that have a cheese stomach I found a new cheese. Yes it's chèvre, I thought it was about time we had a new cheese - Le Catal.

Le Catal.

More importantly Margaret was happy to find a small garden next to the cathedral. 'Jardin du Haricot', yes it's a Soissons thing apparently the local variety of beans saved the population from starvation in one of the many famines. Tried a jar of 'Haricot de Soissons, Apéritif au piment d'Espelette' superb. Makes a change from cheese turtles, but more about them later.
