  Absolutley awful. The bitterness of the fromage frais dominated everything.

  Thinking of giving this a go this evening, after reading above comments, think I will substitute the fromage frais with mayonnaise. Don't have any actual lemons to juice, so will be using ready made up stuff in the plastic bottle. Will probably give the tomatoes a miss, fiance isnt keen on raw tomatoes, altho could use some of our homegrown ones that we have left....and since I have ready to go dough in the fridge, will bake my own baguettes shortly before serving so they are fresh and still slightly warm :o)

  The fromage frais was not a nice ingredient, it tasted dry and sour, I would substitute this with mayonnaise (as suggested in the comment above) the prawns could have done with a squeeze of lemon (or something) and I would advise using fresh prawns as frozen do not give enough flavour for this dish. I would have another go at the dish but with quite a few changes

  I wonder if the recipe mixed up fromage frais with creme fraiche? (Which is sometime something I do when writing a shopping list!) I think it would be much nicer with creme fraiche anyway, perhaps mixed with a little mayo and lime.
