It will be Thanksgiving with a difference this year for Americans in Aix, but help is at hand courtesy of Rick Harrison, owner of Biocoop – La Coumpagnié – there are 3 stores in Aix-en-Provence : La Pioline, Célony/Puyricard and La Torse (centre ville adjacent).He explains: ‘Each year, we offer Thanksgiving dinner in our restaurant which is attended by approximately 100 people. Of course, this year our restaurant is closed but last week I had several inquiries about Thanksgiving meals “to go”. So, we decided yesterday to offer a full Thanksgiving meal for 25 € per person (Thursday, Friday and Saturday) – turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, candied sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, of course gravy, cranberry sauce as well as pumpkin and pecan pie and cheesecake.
‘In addition, each of the 3 service delis will have each item on Thursday, Friday and Saturday for people who wish to buy last minute and à la carte. The à la carte items can also be pre-ordered.
‘Pre-orders need to be made 24 hours in advance. All of the recipes are my family recipes – so it’s very authentic, and our chef’s cream of mushroom used in the green bean casserole is the best I’ve ever tasted’.
Here’s Rick’s e-mail for people who wish to contact him : rick@biocoop-lacoumpagnie.fr, and locations are on their website www.biocoop-lacoumpagnie.fr. As it’s so last minute, the items cannot be ordered on line.
