Specialty of the house is “Brandade de Morue”
Ok, here’s a new one for me. Late last week we visited a really small village in the Gard, named Verfeuil. This town was so small that it only had one restaurant “Augerge des Concluses”. Their specialty was Brandade de Morue which is mixture of salt cod, milk, olive oil and who knows what else. It was actually very good and I chose one of the brandades in a turine with eggplant and a tomato coulis. Several of our friends wouldn’t even try it. The good news is they had wonderful wines including ones from a local vintner called “Natura”. I sure wish I could bring some back. Oh well, I guess I’ll just toast to you! “Santé”

Sounds interesting. Do you think you could replicate it back home?
BTW, how was the donkey?
