Le Bon Goût d'Aquitaine

On Saturday, Katie and I took the tram across the river to go to the Le Bon Goût d'Aquitaine (The Good Taste of the Aquitaine (Aquitaine is the southwest region of France)). This was a street fair that displayed all the local meat, stinky cheese, honey, wine and more.

Now that is some stank! Fromage d'chevre, I love it!

All the bread here is so fresh. You can't tell it this picture but the round bread in the background on the blue crate was as big as a car tire!
Cured meats and local cheeses. Note: the red baret.
Garlic knots. Surprisingly it looked better that it tasted. :(

Beaucoup de Miel (lots of honey), Katie and I bought some pollen to put in our yogurt in the morning for breakfast (try it, it's delicious. Thanks Becky for introducing us to this combo.)

Macarons de Bordeaux - a local sweet specialty, good but really expensive

Katie and I finished a long day with some Escargot in butter, herbs and garlic and a nice cool rosé wine to wash them down.

Yummy right?
The after effects of too many escargots.
