Re: Is French food really the best in the world?
I have to agree. Christmas ain't Christmas without turkey for me. It conjures up memories of old and is the cherry on the cake that is Christmas day. I love the excuse to have as many different veggies too, and even have yorkshire puds with it! This year I'm going to invest in larger dinner plates specially!
I love all the other meats mentioned here too, and am intrigued as to where one could get a leg of deer...
roadkill?

Don't laugh, but the boar we had last year was roadkill! It was fresh though! Took it down to a mate and his son butchered it and divvied up!

A bit of revenge for all the damage boar can cause... haven't seen any in these parts... that is, unless you count the woman behind the counter in La Poste!

Hannah & her copain were driving back here t'other evening when smack! Yup - hit & killed a young boar. It did €1900 woth of damage to the car! I took them both to work for 6pm, leaving b/f's car here for me to tape up. The boar was there on the way, I dropped 'em off and came back to claim my booty....some bugger'd had it away!
Honestly, you can't keep anything shtum round here!

Boot was unfortunately stuffed full of catering kit - he's a chef, so no room for the beast! Shame!
