A French dish from our region: the carbonnade flamande . We have chosen this dish because we love it ! It's so delicious . The carbonade flamande is composed with : some delicious beer, of some gingerbread for the easiest otherwise simply some stale bread and some mustard. At the origin It was more a dish for farmers or poor people but now it's more for all category of population. I have already made this dish and it's very easy to cook it. In all restaurants in the north of France we can find it because it's very typicall of our region and if there are no carbonnade flamande in a restaurant, is not a good restaurant. So if you have find our dish, you are very good because, to find this dish, you should be a "ch'ti" (inhabitants from the north of France and be) . Antoine, Aurélien & Romain A custom from our region: The “Braderie de Lille” There are between 2 and 3 million of http://www.bugnicourt.fr/uploads/pics/ visitors because it is the oldest one in Europe. It takes place in the North of France, in Lille at the end of summer (the first weekend of september). This event attracts a lot of tourists from all over Europe. By the way, there is a tradition, the day of this event, we are used to eating a typical French meal; “Les moules frites”. It is a http://agirici.free.fr/ing/jpg/braderie.jpg anymore. blend of chips and mussels. The custom begins with a long race, a half marathon, on the saturday morning. We can walk around Lille and meet some people called “Les Bradeux” who are trying to sell a lot of objects like antiquarian,games, books and other things. In the past the Monday was a public holiday but unfortunatly it is not Alice, Léa & Carla. Sommaire Magazine Without Borders Issue n°1 9/45
