INTERNATIONAL: BORDERLESS CUISINE 10 - UPDATED WITH VIDEOS - Gascony, the Acquitane, the Midi-Pyrenees and Basque Country
Gascony prior to the French Revolution
Acquitane
MIDI-PYRENEES
BASQUE COUNTRY IN SPAIN AND FRANCE
The cuisine of Gascony is one of the pillars of French cuisine. Its originality stems from its use of regional products and from an age-old tradition, typical of the Acquitane and the Midi-Pyrenees, of cooking in fat, in particular goose and duck fat. Soups: The most famous Gascon soup is Garbure which is a thick French soup or stew of ham with cabbage and other vegetables, usually with cheese and stale bread added.
Entree: Foie gras is a popular
and well-known delicacy in French cuisine.
I didn't include any link(s) because there are many importers on line where you can purchase.
Entree: Bayonne Ham or Jambon de Bayonne (aka French Proscuitto) is a cured ham that takes its name from the ancient port city of Bayonne in the far South West of France, a city located in both the cultural regions of Basque Country (Basque Country is made up of several areas in Northwestern Spain and Southeastern France) and Gascony.
Again, no recipe. Purchase on line.
Main course: Duck confit (French: confit de canard French pronunciation: con
fee deh can nar) is
a French dish made with the whole duck. In Gascony,
according to the families perpetuating the tradition of duck confit, all the
pieces of duck are used to produce the meal. Each part can have a specific
destination in traditional cooking, the neck being used for example in an
invigorating soup, the garbure. Duck confit is considered one
of the finest French dishes.
