Saucisson

Sat, 11 Feb 2012 11:45:46 GMT

Being a typical Brit I tend to stick to what I like and never really eat all those foreign foods. Mainly because I don't want to waste money if I don't like it.

Anyhow, those smelly Saucissons hanging up in the butchers intrigue me and I have bought a few to take home.

Now hears the question....do you cook them or just slice them up?

Do they look like this?

If yes, just slice 'em up and eat with french bread.

We were treated to saucisson/hummus/bread nibbles each day in the Blue Note Bar in Val d'Isere. Very nice after a hard day on the slopes (of course washed down by a couple glasses of beer)

The ones hanging in barney's photo are saucisson, more properly saucisson sec. These are salami-type and are for eating without further cooking - delicious. Not to be confused with boudin or andouille which are meant to be cooked and are IMHO minging!

They are cured meat so they do not need cooking. They have an incredibly long shelf life, which stems back to before fridges had been invented and the need to preserve meat.

Just slice it up and enjoy with some fresh bread and cheese...Oh and don't forget the wine!

slice it really thinly or you will chew on it for days...best served with a nice glass of red wine and a selection of cheeses: tomme du savoire, reblechon and comte

It's air dried and supposed to be a bit chewy but has load of flavour. Best eaten with other stuff.

We do the hot cheese thing (raclette) with new potatoes and a plate of scary meats (including saucisson, mountain ham etc.) and accompanied by silverskin onions and small gherkins.

Always reminds me of the Alps.... sigh
