Meal #83: Lunch
This was the best duck I’ve ever had in my life. It was perfectly rare, but still had a great grilled flavor. It was succulent, juicy, salty, fatty, incredible! The salad was good too, as it had lettuce and potatoes from the garden! Who puts potatoes in the salad? But so so good. Thank you François!
I had no idea this dish was even coming. I ate my amazing grilled duck and salad and thought it was the end of the road, but no, François had more in store for us! She brought out this simple and awesome white bean dish along with more bread and more grilled duck! The beans were excellent, perfectly cooked with tomatoes and herbs. And the extra duck was as good as the first serving. This was just lunch!
Meal #82: Breakfast
This was a simple, but excellent, breakfast in the country. Some perfectly crusty bread, coated in butter, and drizzled with honey made next door. We even saw the clover field the honey is made from! It doesn’t get more local than that!
Meal #81: Dinner
Amélie took us to her family’s country house, somewhere outside of Rodez. It’s a super cute little farm house that has been in their family for hundreds of years. It’s at least 400 years old, and has been added onto countless times. It’s situated in the hilly farmland and pastures surrounding Rodez. The view from the house was unbelievable. We ate this delicious lasagna outside on the terrace in front of the glorious view.
This was our second course just after the vegetable lasagna, it was a stewed rabbit, awesome, with a crunchy piece of bread and a delicate garden salad with the perfect vinaigrette.
Amélie’s mother is waving to us from the kitchen window, Amélie and her cousin are on the terrace where we ate dinner.
This was our view from the dinner table!
Look at that smile, all her dreams have come true!
Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner.
