They weren't, LivingLightly, they were frozen. The meal wasn't planned, and was a bit rushed. However, I didn't realise that Paris was renowned for its carrot production.
I have never had much success growing carrots @IanBish, probably because most varieties prefer a sandy soil and we're on clay. I'm told that Parisian carrots do well on clay, so may give it a go next year.

It was this one and surprisingly had some real flavour - it was a 2022 one though not 2020 as pictured - we had a warmer year then and Abergavenny is in Wales but borders Herefordshire.
Thank you for this @shelley262. I've not seen this wine offered for sale here, but will look out for it in future.

Also had a glass of a lovely red Welsh wine - it was a present and from a vinery in Abergavenny called sugar loaf vineyards and was very tasty.

Breakfast was zucchini bread with butter, early to play pickleball at 7:30 am
Lunch…I’m beginning to think I missed lunch which explains the picking at cheese, nuts and almond butter while gardening this afternoon.
Dinner will be more zucchini, grilled this time in place of the pasta for spaghetti bolognaise.

Third and last day of my green beans and oven baked pork belly dish, again with a mini egg from our hens.

Colour and flavour from onion, bell pepper, and a (store bought) black bean and garlic sauce. Not low carb but a very strong flavour so only a little needed.

That egg looks lovely. And I love black bean and garlic sauce.

We often enjoy spiralised zucchini in place of pasta @MommaE. Here in the UK, they're called courgetti, as a rule.
