French ditch tartines for 'healthy' breakfasts - by Peter Allen
The staple morning fare for the French has traditionally been a freshly baked pastry or "tartine" of baguette and jam dipped in a steaming bowl of café au lait. Whether Normandy farmer, Burgundy grape picker or Paris office worker, all have, for centuries, viewed the relaxed breakfast as the perfect start to any day. But now, in yet another challenge to the traditional vie française coming from Britain and America, young people are adopting the eating habits of busy executives.Researchers now fear that the so-called "Anglo-Saxon model breakfast", an eat-as-you-go meal made up chiefly of cereal and fruit juice prepared in seconds before or even during an early morning business meeting, is becoming so popular among the under-24s that the old-fashioned French breakfast may one day become extinct.
