Oops! Evelyne nearly missed this one!
My friend Evelyne is the queen of the aligot. Making aligot is a tour de force which requires lots of time and energy (and good muscles in your arms, believe me!).
You eat aligot with sausage and tripoux. You need scissors and help to cut the aligot.

A l'aligot un petit plat bien sympathique qui tiens bien au ventre
RépondreSupprimerne ditons pas dans l'aveyron : L'aligot ne tient pas seulement au ventre, il tient en sympathie.
Mais non Marie tu es très djeun !!
Is there any connection at all, in etymology, between aligot and the grape variety aligoté?
RépondreSupprimerMerci Bergson. Je ne suis sur aucune photo puisque c'est moi qui prends les photos :-)))
RépondreSupprimerI don't know, expat, but I'm going to inquire about it.
RépondreSupprimerThe Aligot sounds scrumptious, even when one needs, 145 kilos of potatoes, 42 kilos of cheese, 12 litres of cream and 4 kilos of butter.
RépondreSupprimerI am sure to try it after I read the recipe more carefully.
Next I must investigate the tripoux, but I will have to consult the "Larousse Gastronomique".
There is so much work to be done before arriving in France !
Je dirais que les bras d'Evelyne sont beaucoup plus forts, après tout ce travail dur.
I'm of to see what that aligot is ...

This sounds delicious....must try. Am ashamed to say that in my 7 years in France, I never sampled aligot, but I imagine that it's a dish one doesn't find in restaurants, but is made best at home.
RépondreSupprimerMarie, I envy you meeting Armistead Maupin the other day. I just read Michael Tolliver Lives and enjoyed it as much as the other Tales of The City books.
RépondreSupprimerI have booked a night's accomm at the Royal Hotel in Montpellier on the assumption that it is a reasonable place close to the attion for a 7:26 departure.
Great food by the way! (but tripoux - no thanks!)
PS I noticed the cover of New Zealand writer Katherine Mansfield's book on your page. On Googling her I found that ther eis a street named after her in Menton, where she lived for some time. I shall have to look out for that when visiting Jilly!
RépondreSupprimerI was surprised when I read the recipe since in my mind the photos didn't give me a clue as to what it might be. Sounds like a great dish, a bit full of calories, but how scrumptious it must be!!

RépondreSupprimerThis looks and sounds very good. Perhaps you don't need the sausages too! Great photos. I always love the photos of your friends and your life, Marie.
RépondreSupprimerLes tripoux pour mon Chéri et moi, Yes, l'aligot for me only !
RépondreSupprimerSeriously, today is the very first time i saw that kind of food and i find it really really weird. Does it taste good?
RépondreSupprimerAnyway, just bloghopping! Hope to see you around... buzz me back. ^-^
