I was on vacation in Flavigny, an incredibly beautiful small village in Burgundy. I wanted my green beans straight from the garden behind the restaurant without butter and asked to use olive oil instead. The waiter was like "Why!?". It took me five minutes to convince him, he was absolutely unsympathetic and I think I had to pay extra. :)
Honestly, there is a bit of a pride fight in France between the butter cuisines at the North of the Loire river and the olive cuisines at the South of the Loire. So it might not be that much against the idea of make the dish vegan.
Still that useless, stupid pride. I cook burgeondy dishes with olive oil whenever I feel like it and it is still very good. Not quite the same taste but delicious nevertheless.
That's interesting information, thanks!
Your welcome (^_^)
Have you had a chance to try one of their anices?Yeah, they're great. I love Burgundy.
But it's a long trip from western Germany, that's why I don't go as often as I'd like to.
Why would you eat beans without butter? Are you barbarian?
I don't think in barbarian, no. But butter is scary!
WTF is this lunacy? I guess you are a barbarian!
I assure you I am not
i like plain unseasoned green beans, fight me
Straight out of the pot, right! 🙌
