Market day in Beaune. The artichokes (one euro apiece!) come from fields along the coastline of Brittany. The asparagus (5 euros a kilo!) comes from Argenteuil in the Loire. Herbs and olives come from Provence, of course. But the runny Epoisses cheese didn't have all that far to run, and the piglets, well, they didn't run quite fast enough.
And what does the succulent suckling pig sell for, you ask? On special, spit-roasted & skin all crackling, about ten bucks a pound. Bone in.
French Chef Sally is my friend Sally McArthur, who hosts luxurious,
week-long cooking classes at the Chateau du Riveau in the Loire Valley.
