Overview
Mayle, acclaimed for his novels based on his experiences living in Provence, here brings hilariously and affectionately to life a nation that can get passionate about a frog's leg or a well-turned omelet and organize a marathon fueled only on Medoc. Among his many gastronomic experiences traveling around the country, he visits Livarot, where his nose encounters its far from modest fromage, and revels in the spectacle of the annual cheese-eating contest; he attends a church service in Richerenches to celebrate the truffle; in Martigny-les-Bains he learns the best way to eat snails; in Vittel, haven of the frog-fancier, he becomes the first English confrere. He discovers a high level of enthusiasm that turns eating and drinking into a celebration. Illustrated.
