calf sweetbreads (or "ris de veau" in French) are my absolute favorite meal. Unfortunately, it's quite expensive and you have to order them from the butcher because it's rarely on the shelves. It is indeed the thymus of the calf (there is the same thing with lambs) which is a gland which only exists in children because it produces growth hormone and disappears in adults (it's the same in humans).

[@olivierdastein2604]

It doesn't disappear in adults.It just becomes smaller.

Frog legs & Beef tartare, escargot or sweet breads, I love them all. I'm from Ottawa Canada and got the chance to try those foods at different times but they are very pricey. As for your comment on how they know what piece(s) of the animal to cut, I can say that the slaughter house I worked at 50 years ago actually had 2 men doing just that. Of course there were many doing the actual cutting up the animal (I was the man who put their lights out) but they also carefully carved the skull to scrape that meat which was used for some medicinal purpose.

Probably the most productive and complete territory in Europe in food production. And stable for 2000 years, with a gastronomic history strongly influenced by the Romans, who were already very refined cooks. We eat very well everywhere in Europe, but France has the largest choice of quality raw materials. And a know-how, a passion for food and the pleasures of life. The Romans disappeared as the dominant civilization, but they transmitted this gastronomic heritage to us, and we adapted it to our regions. I think we are the best in charcuterie. Also in pastry. In wines and cheeses. Thanks to the richness of the terroir, unique in Europe.

Snail and frog legs - reminiscing on my time in Mauban PH, foraging snails during low tide and had them cooked in coconut milk along with some squash “ginataang kuhol”🤤 My mom used to cook frog legs, adobo-style sans the traditional soy sauce but with all the other traditional ingredients. Uber good😋

[@Just_Pele]

When I was a kid, all summer we would hunt for several hours every evening catching these huge bullfrogs. Then we would take them back, clean them, brine them in buttermilk overnight, and then mom would season, bread, and fry them. Damn, they were delicious.

I love frog legs & Beef tartare. I’ve never had escargot or sweet breads. Though I have prepared sweet breads quite a lot…while in culinary school and during my days working in restaurants. If there were a place close to me that made escargot I’d absolutely try it. Anyway, much love to y’all. Love the video, as always. ✌🏻🥰😊

[@Erunest]

I ate escargot and i think he overexaggerated them a bit. They mostly taste like the butter you stuff them with. They just give a small amount of "different oil/fat" and texture to it. But basically you could replicate this with any spongy food - like tofu for example - and the same butter.

[@etuanno]

I'm Swissgerman and I wasn't surprised at all. The veal liver and the pork cuts he ate, exist here too. But they are eaten very rarely because they take a long time to prepare, the young generation likes the quickly prepared stuff sadly. I'm not sure what part of the pig snout he ate, but the one I made a while ago had some extremely tender meat under the thick skin. I was a bit surpised that he didn't eat cow stomach stew, that would fit perfectly in the ambiente of the restaurent. Maybe they don't offer it? In the winter there is the "Gnagi" here in Switzerlnad, which is the ankle and a bit upwards of the pig. Excellent taste and I usually make it in the oven for the crispy skin and then use the bones in a stew the next day.

I'm a 39 year-old Frenchman and I haven't eaten any of these foods aside from snails a few times with our Christmas dinner. My grandfather loved odd pork cuts, but the rest of my family doesn't.

39 year old German here, never had calf liver either. I do like pork liver though, my mom used to make it a lot when I was still a bit younger. Just cut it into bitesized pieces, rolled in a flour / cornstarch / salt mix, then fried in a cast iron skillet with butter and plenty of onions until the onions start to caramelize and the liver get some color too. Then she served it with homemade mashed potatoes and a homemade elderberry jam.

Oh and btw, all of the regions in France have so much specialities, or products in term of food ! Like u can find "Quiche lorraine" "choucroute" / "cassoulet" / "andouillette" / "bouillabaisse" / "tartiflette" / "Waterzooi" AND SO MANY MORE !! If one day u go in France, please visit Paris yes, and others regions if you can, for the mountains, the sea, the view of beautiful things, different cultures and architecture types ALL around the country. In "Alsace" or "Moselle" you can find germans architecture due to the german occupation in 1940. In the north, red bricks in buildings AND.... I think you know for Paris. It's not because I'm french but except the politic, French is a very good country (to visit at least, living here is a bit different but better than much countries)

[@Totchvache]

As a french gourmet, I advise you with calf liver. It has to be a liver from an animal who didn't ate silage ! Silage give a weird taste to the liver (not that bad, but not the best). You need a calf feed with natural fresh grass from the grassland and milk. We have certification for this. That's the way to have the best experience ;)

Here’s a Parisian, 👋 Snails are typical in France but frogs are really a touristy thing as the huge majority of French have never had frogs and you cannot find them in supermarkets except in Asian supermarkets in big cities or in touristy restaurants. The frogs were cooked for the first time by a chef who wanted to do something special, his name : Chef Donat Pucheu and during the 19th century he introduced the frog legs in his menu but since then, France has become the world capital of frog eaters. Some people eat them but I can guarantee that it’s very unusual to eat frog legs in France. As I said above, it’s almost impossible to find them in a French supermarket even in a superstore selling Asian products. You must go to an Asian supermarket or exotic store. Ask random french people in the street, you will find near 100% of people have eaten snails but you gonna have hard time finding someone who have eaten frogs.

[@mplus3422]

Depends your family background, no one eat that once a week, or even a month, and for sure the newer generation most of them never ate snails or frogs. But depending the region or the family eating frogs and especially snails is not that rare. But that's not a parisian thing yeah.

[@Louis.slmn93]

They used to eat a lot of frogs before but they killed so many of them and filled so many ponds that wild frogs are now protected for the most part , so you don't find frogs as much now but it used to be a common food in france , belgium etc etc .

@@mplus3422 I have friends from all backgrounds, all regions and I‘ve traveled France up side down and was born in Tours. I didn’t say that no one in France eat frog legs. It’s just rare, and very unusual. You won’t find them outside a touristy restaurant

Man, that pig ear looked so good. 39 year old German here, I still remember an older story from around 19 years ago. Our boss back then invited the whole team to a farm after we've spent 2 years on a restoration project of a historical farmhouse ( Carpenter / woodworker ) and the farmer family that was living there had a butchers license and they grew, slaughtered and prepared their animals inhouse. They held a really nice BBQ for us, imagine gigantic plates chock full of nice, tender organically grown meats of all varieties. One thing I still vividly remember were the smoked and charcoal grilled pig ears, was the first time in my life I've tried something like that and they were absolutely delicious.
