A while back, I wrote about the first food truck
that hit the streets in Paris. And at the time, that truck, as well as the ones
that followed, were spearheaded by folks from other countries making food from
their various homelands. And I expressed some ideas for how, perhaps, the food
truck phenomenon could encompass la cuisine
française as well.
Since then, a number of food trucks
have, indeed, done that. And there are a number of people rolling around Paris,
offering everything from candied nuts
to Breton food. [I like the fact that
their website says their salted butter caramel is "Fait camion" (truck-made), rather
than "Fait maison"
(homemade.)] In spite of recent changes to dining habits in France, le sandwich remains a popular
lunch and just about every bakery in Paris has a line that begins around noon
of people clamoring for sandwiches to chow down on before they need to go back
to school or work.
So I was excited to hear that Jérôme
Boulestreau, who previously owned the Beillevaire
cheese shop (which is now being run by people he worked with),
opened up a sandwicherie
with the Castro brothers. And in addition to sandwiches, their tiny shop is
also crammed with interesting products like sardines from Brittany, tight links
of Corsican sausages, Italian pasta, and even pistachios from California.
