Like the crudités et bagna cauda and salade niçoise, farcis are a summer staple in Nice. On Sundays and festive days, housewives and children carry large trays of freshly stuffed vegetables to the village baker's oven, returning at noon to pick up their crisp, golden farcis.

Served at most picnics or buffets, farcis are usually prepared in large quantities, since they are delicious warm or cold. Be sure to choose small vegetables and not to overstuff them
