Everyday French Cuisine?

If you think it's all foie gras, coq au vin, and mousse au chocolat -- think again.

This is one of the oh-so-many "kit" dishes that can be easily found in larger French supermarkets.

Last year I tried this tandoori chicken out, and I hate to tell my British readers out there (I won't even mention Indian readers, for whom this product is likely an unspeakable abomination) that we all thought it was pretty lousy. The meat came out a strange shade of purple, and the dish certainly didn't give us the sort of quick spicy-food fix we were looking for.

But then again, perhaps I had made the equivalent of a canned cassoulet -- in that case, why should it have been any good?
