French gourmets aghast at dirty pig slaughter report

PARIS, France (Reuters) -- First it was mad cows, then dodgy duck and now

sullied slaughterhouses. Another food scandal hit France on Friday, and with it

the announcement that one of the country's top restaurants was shunning meat for

good.

 

Arpege, one of the high temples of the Paris food scene, will soon turn

vegetarian as a result of Chef Alain Passard's personal tastes, French daily

Liberation reported.

 

" We must get back to the essences of the earth. I hope to contribute to a deep

change in culinary creation, " the 44-year-old chef said, capping a year in which

French pride in its cuisine has been dashed by one food scare after another.

 

However, Passard's announcement was upstaged by a report about unsanitary pig

meat production practices in France.
