We all know that green food is fresh, attractive and full of vitamins. Just like these...
Imagine one of these on your plate right now. You might guess they're eggs from the shape. But WTF are these?
Really WTF? Suggestions below.
There will be more from Cuisine de Meuh soon...

Judging from the plant in the background, it seems to be some kind of cress, which brings back childhood memories of egg and cress sandwiches for me (and I'm guessing that my childhood was probably of the same vintage as this recipe cards!)

I was going to say melon but I think cuke is more likely. Shouldn't the oeufs verts be accompanied by jambon?

I think you're right: but the sinister pink cream inside?

I WISH it was taramasalata but I fear it's pink-coloured mayonnaise.

I'm sure you've seen this, but I'm going to send it anyway. http://www.candyboots.com/wwcards.html

Oh most certainly - one of my original inspirations (http://tinyurl.com/33pt6b9)- and however crazy the French are I don't think they could ever quite match 'snacks on a stick' (http://www.candyboots.com/wwcards/snacksonstick.html).
I'm around this week in Ox: come over and see me if you're free.

ps - Liz - you appear to have been up early. Or late.

I think they're peeled cucumbers filled with a mousse made from the alarming looking salami(?) things lurking behind.

Salami? I kind of assumed it was raw liver...
