The first time I ate it, I thought I would explode! Later I calmed down a little!<BR/><BR/>Tinsie - If you come to Aveyron, of course you'll have to eat that. You can just take the TGV to Rodez and then we can take the subway up to the Aubrac mountains to eat some in an authentic restaurant! (Just joking -- about everything except eating the aligot, of course...)Betty Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17155852272383173880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20123932.post-1563007635461180692007-10-16T13:18:00.000+02:002007-10-16T13:18:00.000+02:00Ah reading your post about L'aligot took me back a...Ah reading your post about L'aligot took me back a few years to a charming village fete which I attended not too far from your neck of the woods in Léotoing (Auvergne)...perhaps you know it. After a hard day's dry-stone walling the whole village gathered in the small salle des fetes around the enormous copper pot of delicious aligot which a couple of young people from the village had been preparing all afternoon. Aside from the deliciously hearty meal, what really struck me was the was in which this meal and social occasion brought together people from all generations of the village and surrounding settlements. <BR/>This wonderful dish certain gets my vote! Really enjoy your snippets of French life from my not-so-distance home in Barcelona.<BR/>Josh<BR/>http://barcelonaaccommodation.blogspot.com/Joshua Thorpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05894142658114362509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20123932.post-32133555793196641442007-10-15T08:54:00.000+02:002007-10-15T08:54:00.000+02:00Wow!

I have never heard of aligot either, but it looks just like my sort of food!<BR/>I have just read Katiez's comment about Mogette - it was something I used to eat a lot of when I stayed in the Vendée. It is a big white bean that they ate either covered in butter or tomato sauce.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20123932.post-23029969431984549672007-10-14T02:18:00.000+02:002007-10-14T02:18:00.000+02:00My uttermost favorite!
