Epoisse!
Sunday 29th October 2017 - Apremont.
Very proud of the size of my baguette!
This was in someone's garden!
It is very bad manners to buy the flowers at this time of year for any other purpose. We had a lovely ride around the Vendée, which we have now verified is pronounced 'Venday'.
Lightly poached oysters cooked under the grill with a lovely crunchy topping for starters. We had tagliatelle carbonara with smoked salmon for mains, followed by the cheese.....
It was nearly running off the plate....this is the effect......
Powerful.
Nice walk around St Gilles Croix de Vie in the morning. We did a little bit of shopping in the excellent market where we bought 2 dozen oysters and the smelliest cheese we could find..called epoisses. David and Wendy call it a spoon cheese because it is so runny! It is a cheese that the cheese seller will ask when you want to eat it so that he can choose the cheese based on how runny it is.
In the afternoon David and I went out for a bike ride.....all the way to Paris?
On the way back we stopped to look at a Cemetry. The French have a tradition on All Saints' Day of putting chrysanthemums on the graves of relatives.
Our evening meal was a veritable feast once more - we are eating far too much.
Fortunately Janice recovered for the apple and raspberry crumble dessert.
