Affluences in Europe: in France, prosperity immediately translates itself into good food. The variety of cuts of meat sold in the market is staggering: everything from barbecued chickens to calf hearts, from the lushest whole hams to tripe is lovingly displayed in neat rows decorated with green leaves and herbs, a butcher-shop in Paris
