Expat Life in the South of France

Is this a disaster or what? My husband, daughter and son-in-law are all vegetarians.  And, being a carnivore myself, although I can understand the French predilection to sink one’s gnashers into the flesh of dead animals, la gastronomie française is really lacking in high quality vegetarian dishes. I’ve just returned from a trip to the UK and was very impressed with the imaginative vegetarian meals on offer in restaurants/pubs/cafes.  For now vegetarians in restaurants here seem to be restricted to veggie pizzas, pasta and salads. One gets the impression that  French cuisine is too busy resting on its laurels to innovate, whereas the stodgy British cuisine of old has turned itself around, and is now producing some of the most imaginative and innovative food in Europe. Some cross channel cooking lessons seem to be in order for our snooty French chefs.
