Socca is a well known local food of southern France (Nice specifically). It is a massive chickpea pancake that is cut up like a pizza.

Slight hijack: I had one year of French in high school. I remember very little from that experience 40 years ago. One thing that stuck with me is a French dinner we went to that was sponsored by the French Club. They served cheese and crepes and macarons, but the one thing that I loved the most (because it was accessible to me) was the bread, butter, and hot chocolate that they told us was popular in France. Honestly, I have no idea if that is really a "thing" or not, but I loved the combination so much that I often had it as an evening snack in college. It was easy to make in the dorm with an illegal hotpot LOL. My daughter is on a study abroad trip in France with her masters program as we speak. I remembered the bread and hot chocolate frosting m from high school and college days and introduced her to it. All three of my girls loved it. I don't know what it is about the combo, but it "works." (Edited because ewww, frosting on bread?) Any Francophiles here who know if this is really a French thing? Or have I been lying to myself all these years? I spent a long weekend with a French family when I was in high school and we had hot chocolate for breakfast every morning, served in bowls.
