    Leek and potato soup sounds like something I would enjoy.

    Fat Frog is an odd name for a vegetarian restaurant, considering that there are people who eat frogs. Not me, thank you very much. LOL!!!

    What a beautiful countryside setting for this restaurant! Your introduction to so many vegetarian restaurants has convinced me to give them a try. They are somewhat hard to come by in my neck of the woods. I need to do some digging and web searches, These entrees that have been showcased are delicious.
