Is nothing sacred!? Foodtrucks are loving it in France

I'm retired and for the past ten years have lived in the Creuse in Southwestern France. I found your article on Truck food interesting. I began trading on the welsh Markets in the early Eighties, selling food stuffs such as vacuum packed bacon, pre packed cheeses and Cakes of all sorts. I had a very large walk in type van which had plenty of room, so decided to carry a small gas cooker range, originally it was intended for our own use, however after the first day of cooking bacon on our range (which as stated was for our own use) the aroma circulated around the rather Large Market and brought a surprising response from my fellow traders and the general public who inundated us initially for bacon rolls, anyway to shorten a long story, it prompted me to start selling bacon,cheese salad, chicken, and roast beef rolls, plus many other configurations of "On The Hoof " varieties of, what we described as hand held convenience foods which very quickly developed into a full time occupation, and to shorten the story further, it lead, a few short years later to my opening four shops with a full working Bakery producing bread rolls and popular cake varieties (such as American style muffins) But that experience on the Markets developing a knew Demand lead business was so exciting that the feeling is still with me to this day. I retired from an absolutely thriving business at the age of sixty eight lived in France until recently when my wife and I have now returned to our home town, at nearly eighty, to spend the rest of our days here where we had all that success and incidentally where our old business is still thriving despite all the economic problems that have beset our old community.
