Rick Steves, blogging from Burgundy, meets up with the Snail Lady. Looks suspiciously like the Ham Lady to me. Her name's Anne Marie Penaud, and she runs a charcuterie in Beaune.

Ya think Rick reads Cornichon?
UPDATE: Now also in the Seattle Times under the heading "The Finicky Virtues of the French." (That last part doesn't sound like Rick.)
French Chef Sally is my friend Sally McArthur, who hosts luxurious,
week-long cooking classes at the Chateau du Riveau in the Loire Valley.
