Lunch

Yesterday after the day was scrubbed we chilled out at base camp and as we worked our way round a large stash/feast of croissants, pain-au-chocolates, pain-au-raisin, baguettes with butter, jambon, cheese and Natela, chocolate mousse and Tart tatin for desert, all topped with red wine, we were wondering how the French manage to stay slim eating this sort of wonderful carb/fat/suget-rich, heart-attack type food...

Apparently the secret is the French Lunch.

Apparently the French have a light breakfast, a very large lunch and light dinner. We know all about the French lunch because all activity stops around midday for Lunch. I do remember this is the way we too used to eat when we were kids back home. It's amazing that in France they managed to retain the Lunch culture.

I am seriously thinking of adopting this way of eating when I get back, it will be an interesting experiment. Not sure if I will manage to stay awake in the office after a big lunch though...

In the meantime, here is another picture of the French team having Lunch...oops no, sorry, they are actually preping for the flight, but it's a nice photo all the same!
