A speciality of south-eastern France, especially around Nice. It's 10.30h at the Fête de la Branda and the socca oven is already in operation. Later, at lunchtime, there will be a long queue of hungry visitors.
Socca is a sort of crepe made with chickpea flour and olive oil and it's delicious. Come back tomorrow and we'll see exactly how it's made.

cant wait till tomorrow. is that a portable oven? wood fired or charcoal?
ReplyDeleteWE need to know about SOCCA - HA I am sure it's grand if you say so. The oven is interesting. More like a pizza oven???
ReplyDeleteGosh that even sounds good and I suppose deserves a large crowd to feast.
ReplyDeleteJe ne connaissais pas la Socca - il n'y a pas ça à Avignon.
ReplyDeleteJe ne connais pas non plus tu nous fais gouter demain ?
ReplyDeleteHmmm...don't know about this either, although it does sound delish!
ReplyDeleteWith me being a veggie and Gary not, these where a perfect choice for me to stock up on. Oh I am feeling all nostalgic now.
ReplyDeleteBabooshka, I'm a vegetarian too, so right this goes down well, although there is so much for vegetarians in the south of France.
ReplyDeleteVirginia, yes it's like a pizza oven and is transportable. We only see this oven in the village on Fete days.
