It tastes better and you never get tired of the constantly changing flavours.<br /><br />The butcher in Le Grand Pressigny - Lydie and Laurent Poupeau - even make seasonal pates. At Easter it was a lovely Terrine de St Jacques, and around about now it'll be an asparagus paté. If you are down that way, its worth a taste and their meat has always been super.<br /><br />NickNickLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10597310462094749435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-36403631242683412742009-05-09T18:25:00.000+02:002009-05-09T18:25:00.000+02:00We've had very nice weather for a month or more no...We've had very nice weather for a month or more now.

Gee, sometimes I wish I were living in France too :)). No wonder we wander south every year again, and again and again!
