Phillippe kindly brought me a small portion to try. It wasn’t something i could eat a full plate of and I tried to put it politely.
“Don’t worry”, he beamed “I couldn’t eat it either. Hate the stuff!”

Since you are clearly stout of heart I’ll have to see about supplying you with some of my experimental sausages.

Bravo to you for trying…

See, I said “Don’t bring snails or frogs legs” and that’s what I got instead. Maybe I should have kept my mout shut…

Of course I appreciated how they were obviously carefully selected and beautifully presented. And the pigs trotter was cooked to perfection! :)
However, these were the best ways I could think of to describe the taste to my readers…obviously when you have fully converted me into a french person I will be able to wax lyrical about such things. Sadly for now I am an uncultured englishman so pork pies it is :)

AND did you have to mention….that bit at the end???!…I blame the generous servings of pineau/wine Sir :P
ps: that picture does not do it justice…really…but I guess you were very brave :)
