In France a very ancient tradition for Easter is to eat a roast leg of lamb. Of course among the new generations some are inclined to forget it, or to change to something smaller because families are often smaller too, but generally the tradition is perpetuated, particularly in the South of France. Easter lunch or dinner usually starts with asparagus or smoked salmon or oysters, followed by the leg of lamb surrounded with spring vegetables, a cake and plenty of chocolate eggs.
