Sunday Lunch – Espédaillac
OUR Sunday lunch was with neighbors, Caroline & Ray, at Auberge Beauville. The current proprietors took over the auberge in 1930 and the family has served exactly the same menu ... every Sunday since. Hey, if it works don’t mess with it! Here is what we have:Dimanche midi: menu à €18.00
Potage (a fresh country vegetable soup)
Charcuterie (assorted salami, hams & pâté platter)
Coq au vin ou Poule farce (chicken in red wine or stuffed hen)
Gigot d’ agneau à la broche (leg of lamb)
Pommes de terres sautés et haricots blances (sautéed potatos & french white beans)
Plateau de fromages avec cabécou (assorted cheese selection including; local goat cheese)
Dessert: Pastis ou île flottante (pastis or floating island)
Pichet de Vin et Café compris (pitcher of excellent Bordeaux wine & coffee included)
The leg of lamb (Gigot) ... is cooked on a spit in the fireplace! The pichet (pitcher) of outstanding local wine ... never goes empty! And we ... just, never stop eating!
All for €18.00??? well, just remember that they don’t accept credit cards ... forgot your cash? OK! time to help with the dishes!!!
a bientôt! Jack
