This is our second rendezvous: C’est la vie in France but this time (our first post was about Films Open French Wounds From Algeria) we have selected an article about food.

We wanted to start this new year with a post that made us both laugh (first paragraph) but also think about important things (the fate of Sudan). On Saturday, Max Dana posted on her blog an article quoting several tweets people sent on Twitteron December 31.
