Life in rural France - Food - Friends - Wine - Cheese - Comments
Welcome to French Food
Focus. The name describes the intent of this blog. I'll focus on food
and because I live in rural France the stress will be upon French food. There are numerous posts
concerning life in France and, certainly,
opinions about anything that strikes my fancy.
If
you have some good recipes or if you want to rave
about any great French
restaurants this
is the place to do it.
I hope you enjoy my ramblings about rural France!

Yummy! We're
just home from our offal outing and boy was it good.
Jean had done little starter of home cured ham , slaw with apples and a
bit of her fig chutney on the side. Very nice. Then the offal. The fresh
lamb liver was out of this world; the heart & kidney complimented as did
the soft poached egg & caramelized onions and shoe string potatoes. I
thought I'd died & gone to heaven. This meal took me back to my youth
and I loved every morsel.
AND we had crepes after all! I bet we were one of the few if not the
only gathering to have rice flour crepes. You see Jean is allergic to
wheat & it's derivatives so she decided that to make crepes she had to
use her rice flour. Thus a rice flour batter cooked in the normal way
then topped with freshly squeezed lemon, yellow raisins and sugar.
Pretty darn good. Not elegant, but different and eminently edible.
Can't say that I've had many more enjoyable meals recently. Great fun.
And a PS about the cooking. Our friend Jean is blind yet is one of the
best & most imaginative cooks I've ever met. Good for her. We're not
allowed to use the "B" word anywhere near her.
