Cassoulet




Duck, pork and sausage with white beans. One of my favorite French dishes. I used to love this at Cafe Campagne in Seattle, but it's even better in France! They seem to have a love affair with duck here. It's always on the menu in one form or another, or two or three forms. But cassoulet is like a tasting plate and stew all in one!

Our biggest challenge so far is that most French restaurants don't serve lunch after 2pm. So we have to get up each day, check out of the hotel and drive to the next city by 1:30 so we don't miss lunch. They do actually have McDonald's in France, but I refuse to eat there. I'd rather skip a meal than eat at a McDonald's. Puh-lease!

We pulled into Saint Emilion at 1:30 and found the Bistro du Clocher with cassoulet on the menu. Divine!
