When a store calls
itself “Cadeau Gourmand,” it better
have good gourmet presents. In the middle of the gastronomic town of Saulieu,
this shop delivers the goods.
The proprietor, who runs
the place by himself, offers tastes for every taste. From Burgundy, of course,
there is pain d’épices, mustard, jams, snails, cassis, jellies, candies, and honey from the Morvan Park. From elsewhere in France, look for specialty
chocolates, liqueurs, and colorful candy-coated nuts.
There is also a large
wall of animals in jars and cans for every appetite: pheasant in white wine;
capon in Jura wine; wild board, country, local mushroom, and paysan pâtés; terrines of deer, duck,
and rabbit; quail on a bed of mushrooms; foie
gras in every format; duck confit; snails; frogs legs; head cheese. This is
the type of display that makes the local fauna sweat...and also a great place for presents for people back home.
