Try this tasty sandwich for your next picnic or trip to the beach! It's a favorite in Provence, a region of southeastern France. In Provençal, pan bagnat means "bathed bread"--bathed in olive oil. Cooks in southern France use lots of olive oil because olive trees grow so well in the hot, dry Mediterranean climate. But they have South America to thank for the tomatoes!
