I feel a little unusual in the group - some of my earliest food memories involve pâté on toast for breakfast. Obviously a French Canadian thing.

I just couldn't wrap my arms around tomato coulis although you did make it sound wonderful. I thought the chicken liver gâteaux was going to have a strong, heavy flavor which it didn't. I found it light and fluffy and do realize that the coulis/green olives version would be delicious. I spent a week in Lyon a few years ago and must say that it was a food feast everyday. In my opinion, that is one underrated city. Glad that your little tykes tried and, for the most part, enjoyed this meal. You do make food look very, very appetizing, Andrea.
