London, England

George was his name, and fish were his game! Cheerio! No sea was too rough for his golden hull. Even on stormy days, the roiling water would say thank you with each heave. Thank you for letting us touch the sun, it would murmur. In gratitude, the wild waves would then call up bounty from the deep straight into George’s captain’s nets. And George would tremble with pure joy each time he participated in the sea’s ancient and mysterious economic exchange.

A VIDEO REPORT BY BILL DIEM

In a Culture Keeper first, at least in recent memory, we bring you a recipe! In a video report narrated in French (never fear, non-French speaker, we’ve included some English text for you), Bill Diem takes us from the market to the kitchen to a dinner table surrounded by friends ready to enjoy the evening’s star dish. Along the way he sheds some light on the history of this representative of France’s reputed culinary traditions.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY MAHBOOB FAIZI

In the newest installment in our roving View From Here series, Mahboob Faizi takes us to a quiet spot near Kabul, Afghanistan. With this article, we’re excited to add a new language in our Sans Frontières series of articles published in multiple languages. Mahboob has written for us in both English and Dari, which is the version of Persian spoken in Afghanistan.
