FRENCH PICNICS

BAG A BAGUETTE!
A French picnic would not
be a French picnic without
a couple of very good, very
fresh baguettes. See page 239
for our French expat readers’
recommendations; we also like
The Bread Project at 174 Joo
Chiat Road.
Sweet tooth? From Albert Ménès comes this violet
fig jam ($18) and matzo bread ($9) available from
Marketplace and Jasons. And you can now find La
Mére Poulard biscuits in this gorgeous new retro
packaging at supermarkets island-wide.
DRINKS
Order your drinks in good time for
thorough chilling before popping them
into an icy cooler-bag.
Redmart.com
is an easily navigable site that offers a
huge variety of food and beverages with
next-day delivery – free for orders over
$75, a godsend for the super-busy, multi-
tasking French picnic organiser! Apart
from the bubbles shown here, look out
for ongoing wine deals.
