    I love their “pizza” - in Paris there is a place called Flams in Monteparnasse who do these. Our favourite is the one that has potato, onion, bacon and cheese. We make it at home now - the cream is crème fraise with a touch of nutmeg, then slices of par cooked potato, bacon, caramelised onions, and Gruyère.
