Today we will be celebrating a very old tradition, still very popular in the area I live. It is called “Omelette pascale”, meaning Easter omelett. In the Pyreneas, this is a vivid tradition. Basically it is to celebrate the end of Lent and 40 days without eating a single egg.
This will be the first picnic of the season. Each family will prepare their large frying pan ready for an omelette made with eggs, lardons, sausage, why not some heads of asparagus, small artichokes, parsley, salt and pepper.
Everyone takes their crockery, cutlery and a very large pan (of course) up a mountain close to an oratoire or a chapel in the open air.The omelette is then ready to cook on both sides, it is then garnished and shared with family members and friends.
We also have a sugar omelett version for dessert. After eating the little ones will have a nap , with the older ones, the kids will play soccer or badmington , while some of us will go for a walk in the countryside …
Such a blessed moment, especially when the sun decides to be present as it tends to be today …
