Culinary Conversation: A day in France— or close to it

Culinary Conversation: What are your favorite Lenten recipes?
I could eat fish every day. At least during Lent, I know I can count on a fish dinner on Fridays. Church members have practically become pros at making the best broiled and fried fish with delectable go-alongs like macaroni and cheese, coleslaw and pierogis.
