Taking Meat off the Menu

BBC Radio 4 - From Our Own Correspondent, Taking Meat off the Menu

A shock development in the French world of haute cuisine and other tasty despatches.

Presented by Kate Adie. Cooking up controversy in a French restaurant and despatches from correspondents in Ukraine, Sicily, Greece and the Netherlands.

Few French restaurants offer a menu without meat, so John Laurenson's been finding out why that's a decision taken by one of the country's top chefs. Paul Adams explains why the government in the Ukrainian capital Kiev might have given up trying to seize back control of rebel-held eastern parts of the country. Misha Glenny talks of plans to establish a global parliament of city mayors taking powers away from 'tired old nation states'. One of Europe's most wanted men is thought to be hiding out in the mountains of central Greece - Jeff Maysh has been talking to people about a fugitive with a Robin Hood reputation and Antonia Quirke talks of Sicily where many are fed up with the corruption pervasive in Italian society and where the Mafia continues to wield influence.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
