An impressive sea eel, an octopus with giant tentacles and even a gurnard, “the only fish that works”: we definitely meet sacred specimens in the aisles of the Salon #Bon. And Imran, 5, does not miss a thing.
It is only here, in this food festival exclusively dedicated to small gastronomes, that such a fishing return is accessible to children. The unmissable “healthy eating” event will delight curious and gourmet people until this Sunday evening in Villejuif. Nearly 10,000 visitors had tasted it last year.
Workshops, demonstrations and tastings remain the watchwords of this 5th edition which, for the first year, relies on three days of entertainment.
Because it is at Salon #Bon that the grand finale of the Cuillerée d’Or is played this Friday. A younger version of the Golden Spoon, highlighting, since 2010, the talent of women in cooking and baking. Aged 8 to 13, these are the seven young finalists who opened the festival by covering their caps from 8 a.m.
Passing on the passion
Fifty chefs are present, as well as a dozen of the best workers in France, such as Jean-Luc Vianey, at the head of the very famous fishmonger in Lyon. All have only one goal: to transmit to the youngest the passion for homemade, fresh and seasonal products, while “one in three children can not identify the foods they eat daily.” “
Vegetable and cheese stalls are always there. The acrobats can once again perch in the nets to overlook the living room. And a funny beast with glasses thrones again this year in the showcase of the tripe.
