Know a better way to get acquainted with local flavors and la couleur locale than taking in the local food scene on foot.

Two prizes on the European List of Menu for Hope 5 do just that.

First is Monday at the Market for Two (in Florence, Italy) offered by Judy Witts of Over a Tuscan Stove.

Judy describes it as follows:

This is good for two people with a 250€ value and is valid for one year, Prize Code EU12

Second, A Taste of Nice (France, that is) courtesy of Rosa Jackson at Les Petits Farcis.

Here is what it is all about in Rosa's words:

"On a fascinating three-hour tour, you will learn about the history of Nice and its food and taste such unexpected delicacies as pissaladière (caramelized onion tart), socca (chick pea pancake), fougasse (Provençal flatbread) and tourte de blettes (a sweet pie with a surprise ingredient). You will also sample a selection of Provençal olive oils, taste vinegars flavored with passion fruit or piment d'Espelette, discover the secrets of French cheese and visit an artisanal pork butcher.

Wants to make your mouth water in advance, check The Petit Farcis Market Tour as pictured by Leigh Wolf (on Flickr, November 2008).

I borrowed her snapshot of the Cheese Stand above as an illustration.

This Taste of Nice street tour is good for 2 people, has a value of 160€ and is Prize Code EU23
