From La Cuisine à Nice, H. Heyraud
PATAFLA (a good recipe for a
cocktail party or a picnic)
4 tomatoes, 1 large onion, 2 green
pimentos, 2 oz black olives, 3 oz green
olives, 2 oz capers, 2 oz gherkins, 1
long French loaf.
Peel the tomatoes, stone the
olives, take the core and seeds out
of the pimentos, and chop them
together with all the other
ingredients. Cut the loaf in half
longways, and with a sharp knife
remove all the crumb, which you
mix with the tomato preparation,
kneading it all together with a
little olive oil, a pinch of paprika,
