from local products to begin with and with a quality that is well known.
Let your desires and the pleasures of taste and eyes guide you.
The river Lot is a menu by itself:
|
Melon of Quercy and its delicate orange pulp, sweetened and scented
Foie gras (goose-liver), always synonymous with refinement and the art
of living.
Conserve of duck and its apples with boletus.
Lamb from the farm with its fine and melting flesh. The truffle: black
diamond and its divine savour. In Lalbenque, the market of Tuesday, from
December to February, attracts the greatest experts. The nut oil does
wonders to a salad that accompanies the "cabécou", small
cheese from unskimmed goat's milk. Recognized AOC and marketed under the
name of "Rocamadour", it can be tasted firm or flux, according
to ones taste.
At dessert, the pastis will charm the papillae of the gourmands, with
its transparent paste complemented with some apples, syrup and brandy
of plum.
All these dishes are served with a wine of Cahors, of shaded colour, with
solid tannins, genuine wine of taste. One will also appreciate the charming
wine of Glanes, product of the canton of Bretenoux, light and yet rich
in flavours.
