For eleven months every year we are starved of convenience food. However big the supermarket there are still no ready meals to be found.. and on occasion I have even found myself craving reconstituted chicken which has been injected with garlic flavoured butter and then beautifully packaged as a superior chicken Kiev. Craving or not, these don't exist in France and I just has to make my own chicken Kiev using a real chicken breast !! But in December, every supermarket produces their own range of 'ready menus'. These are not just meals but 4 or even 5 courses !!..The booklets advertising these amazing feasts all beautifully photographed and offer the full menus or an a la carte option and some even include the wine..However, although these gastronomic delights are heavily promoted, the French supermarkets STILL won't allow ready meals on their shelves, so you have to order your 'ready meal' !!!
