The right season
Menus begin with what an imagined local network could supply at its best, never with a fixed promise disconnected from nature.
Short menus and attentive use of each ingredient express a simple goal: less waste and more meaning.

Read the intention and look for evidence
A description of hedgerow countryside does not establish local sourcing. A seasonal menu does not mean every ingredient was grown in Normandy. Distinguish the following information when reading a claim.
| Claim | What it describes | What to identify |
|---|---|---|
| Origin | Where an ingredient was produced | The ingredient concerned and its stated supplier or origin |
| Season | A product’s period, depending on climate and growing method | The product’s calendar and origin |
| PDO / PGI | An official designation governed by a product specification | The exact protected name, distinct from a regional reference |
No supplier or certification is established for the fictional restaurants. Real protected designations are discussed for documentary purposes. INAO · understanding official quality schemes
