The artistic French

When the French visit,
they like to bring a present. Something regional is good, and to be completely proper, it should be home made!
So today our guest presented us with this gift of regional products in a tin from the area.
Beautiful and much appreciated, especially as it was so thoughtfully put together.
Something for the English to learn?

So what's in the box?

  • Fig chutney with Provencal olives
  • Olive purée with Provencal herbs
  • Olive purée with Provencal basil
  • Orange chutney with Provencal olives
  • Tomato pesto with dried tomatos and Provencal herbs
  • Basilic pesto with Provencal almonds and goat's cheeze
And to the side: raspberry, myrtle, red Earl Grey tea; and a chocolate & orange spread.
In the box are almond-marzipan sweets.
