l'Oliverie - 79200 - SAURAIS - FKK in Gâtine Vendéenne
| Le Pays de Gâtine
can be proud of its many culinary specialities
and regional products.
From starter to dessert
you can try tasting
the “ farci Poitevin “, charentais melon,
and the unmissable “ cagouilles “
or “ lumas “
– snails from the Gâtine at St Pardoux
farmed in this area or collected along the country roads
after a rain shower…

For grilled meats, choose from rib of Parthenay beef
which is world-renowned for its quality,
or lamb chops from Gâtine lamb certified under the Mouton Village label.
Accompany these with the “ Cuisine de mojettes “,
an amazing combination of flavours.

 |
To follow, an embarrassing choice of cheeses, especially goats cheese.
One piece of advice - give in and try them all !!!!
For dessert you could opt for fruit from the gardens of La Gâtine or bread buttered with Echiré butter, topped with honey.
Of course you are likely to be offered a piece of “tourteau fromager “, a speciality of the region.
The last act in this opera of flavours is a final “ gourmandise “ :
“ l`angélique des marais “ from the area surrounding Niort.
To be tasted crystallized, in a liquor or in a sorbet, it’s your choice ! |
