Chinese Food Truck in French Countryside?
Photograph from The Fortune Cookie Chronicles
When the buttery croissants and fragrant lavender gets old, those traveling in the French countryside can scout out this streetside truck called "Delices d’Asie," or "Delicacies of Asia." Deli enthusiast David Sax, the creator of Save the Deli, saw locals lining up for the exquisite dim sum and stir fries while he was shopping at a nearby farmer's market for more traditionally French foods (cheese and bread). "There were shrimp toasts and har gao that looked like French pastries, arranged in military precision behind the glass." French-Vietnamese food is one thing, but French-Chinese, eh? What an intriguing fusion.

Our small, local weekly market in the Languedoc-Roussillon has had a Chinese/Vietnamese take away truck for several years now. I think most French markets have them.
They're great if you don't want to cook and aren't in the mood for a roast chicken!
