The daily menu...

Deli tray, melsat and bougnette

Melsat is a white pudding made of pork meat and meat from pigs, sausage meat, eggs, bread crumbs, herbs and spices. It can be eaten fresh, fried in a pan like a sausage or cooked in soup. Fresh, the melsat is particularly tasty, cut into thick slices, grilled in a pan and served with a green salad. It can also be eaten raw, once dried as a sausage.

The bougnette, on the other hand, is a large ball that is both firm and soft. It is a preparation based on pork belly and throat cooked in a flavoured broth, chopped, mixed with a breadcrumb and egg mixture, flavoured with herbs. It can be enjoyed cold or warm, as an aperitif or as a starter, but also hot, just sliced and pan-fried or poached in soup.


A Lauragaise salad with foie gras and duck breast

Duck foie gras is a must for enthusiasts. Whole or in block, natural or truffled, cooked or semi-cooked, it is a real hit at the end of the year celebrations. Raw, foie gras can be fried, served with a garnish and sauce. As for the duck breast, thinly sliced on this Lauragaise salad, it is most often dried and not smoked. It can also be enjoyed fresh and simply grilled, roasted in the oven, and is easily served with fresh figs and a sweet and salty sauce, giving it an originality that suits it perfectly.


The cassoulet

A must!

Cassoulet is undoubtedly the most famous dish in our region. Made of cooked white beans with fresh rind, pork shank and shoulder, sausages and duck confit, cassoulet offers a unique and inimitable flavour



It is the subject of an ancestral quarrel between three cities: Castelnaudary, Carcassonne and Toulouse. The controversy concerns the origin of the cassoulet, its composition and the taste qualities of the cassoulets prepared in each of these cities. The Carcassonne cassoulet may contain red partridge and a piece of sheep. The Toulouse one contains duck confit, Toulouse sausage, carrot and onion with cloves.



It may or may not be covered with breadcrumbs before baking. The number of times when it is necessary, during cooking, to break the crust that forms on the surface of the dish, is the subject of major quarrels of experts: between six and eight times depending on the version.



This speciality is also available as an iced dessert, in a nougatine cassole and ice cream balls with various flavours decorated with white chocolate ingots beans.

What a pleasure to taste the delicious cheeses from the cows, goats and sheep of our meadows and mountains. Whether they are fresh, creamy, dry or semi-dry, hard or soft, you will undoubtedly find the one or ones that will delight your taste buds.


For dessert, pompet or oreillettes

The pompet is a melt-in-the-mouth lemon puff pastry. It can be enjoyed at the end of a meal or as a snack with coffee or a glass of white wine. There are also quince, apple, etc.

As for the oreilletes, or "wonders" for some, they are light, crunchy and sweet, flavoured with orange blossom or rum. It's hard to eat just one!
