cuisine a' le mans

[hgb]

The french haute cuisine in all honor but the preparation of the hot dogs at one stall near the Dunlop bridge puts a smile on my face every time I come across. They put a hole in it on each side with their fingers and stuff a sausage through the hole. The Tertre Rouge sausage stand serves top class food, though. That's why I enjoy being able to flee to France once or twice a year for some decent food and campsite kitchen.

I hope no one of you is chocked by my reaction.

It wasn't serious, just too ironic !

I never had the opportunity to taste all these specialties...
... and I also able to give you the adress of a local grocery where you can find, out of curry sauces, some african hot sauces, better with crocodile meat but maybe also eatable with chicken !

Crocodiles  I have eaten snake, and aligator, but where do I find a crocodile in France?  I don't even have a large enough pot to cook one in

Entering Portsmouth... no one of your sauces are accepted by the customs regulations.

Gilles , they are in my Office , we live off curry .

Anyway , why cook , when french bread and their lovely butter and Bon Mamon Raspberry jam is that lush

Try and get to one of the bread shops in the morning, the smell of all that bread
Made it into one on the sunday last year at 5.30am ordered bread, crossants and the chocolate crossants, delicious with beer in the morning, although they looked a little bemused at my appearence!

I wouldn't advise anyone to buy bread or rolls from the vans and cars that patrol the campsites.
The stuff is usually the previous nights stale supermarket cast offs bought by budding enprepenuers to skank us naive Brits.

Couldn't have bought anything of the one that went through our campsite this year. Heard the horn and turned round to see the rust coloured van going along the track in a fashion that would have gained him entry to the RAC Rally.

If anyone's interested, we have a trained chef on call in our team! Sponsored by a well known brewery, he enjoys whipping up pretty amazing food in the evening - I think he likes showing off...especially curry or thai food..

You can have a look at his own page on the Beermountain - pop by our camp if you are passing!
