Happy #meatlessmonday 
One of the differences I have noticed in American and European eating styles is that Europeans tend to eat for taste which means only eating what’s in season. If it’s not flavorful they don’t eat it. I’m not talking about flavored by sugar and butter but the actual flavor of the vegetable or fruit. A prime example was a gazpacho I had at the famous @la_maree_monaco , made with the sweetest tomatoes, fresh herbs, and topped with puréed frozen watermelon the goal of this gazpacho wasn’t just to be a soup, it was to be best the soup you’ve ever had, and it was thanks to the immensely flavorful seasonal ingredients. I’ve never been a huge gazpacho fan, but this flavor combination was unbelievable and so refreshing too. The tasty way to cool off from our sweltering humidity.
