I'm in Burgundy for a week tasting wines. Hard life, I know. But there are a few golden rules to remember food-wise.
1. Snails are not an acceptable mid morning snack
2. Fermented grape juice doesn't count as one of your five a day
3. Epoisses is not compulsory at every meal
My primary aim for this week is to find the perfect Jambon Persille - that's a ham hock terrine set in some seriously parsley'd up jelly for those who have never come across it. It's a perfect vehicle for dijon mustard and half-decent white Burgundy. I'll keep you posted with how I get on.
