PORK MEATS, PRESERVES AND PREPARED MEALS |
The tradition of cooked pork meats has been preserved
by small manufacturers who produce salt meats, pâtés,
and specialities such as rennet with garlic and pâté
with truffles.
You will also find foie gras producers and snail breeders. Many
artisans produce specialities based on mutton, including "fumeton"
(smoked lamb) and "pâté de foie d’agneau"
(lamb kidney pâté). The "queen" of these
recipes is the famous "pieds et paquets" originally
from SISTERON, made using lamb only. François 1st thoroughly
enjoyed this speciality when he visited SISTERON in 1516, so
it is literally a dish fit for a king ! In any case it always
leaves a lasting impression !
