Thank you for bringing the beauty of flavorful native (or rustic) foods to everyone. I’ve missed them very much, and am glad they can be passed along.

[@David-qd3ff]

I will cook many of the dishes you have presented before my time is up.

[@romulus_]

amazing, the color of that chicken meat and fat. a real chicken's chicken.

[@chrismoose64]

I'm less than 5 hours from Espelette so will stop off on my road trip to Gijon.

[@Petespans]

5 hours! I'm guessing you're from the U.S where 5 hrs is next door ;)

[@chrismoose64]

@@Petespans actually I'm in the Périgord Noir (when not in Yorkshire) 😉

MY back ground 😎 , is from BASQUE REGION IN SPAIN 🇪🇸 , it's amazing 👏 , the SELECTION of DELICIOUS DISHES 😋 , from the BASQUE RIGION 😊..THANKS ❤ .

[@BIGMANHUNTER]

Your videos are a really wonderful way to explore European cuisines. I feel that the current culinary trends, especially in content creation, favour Asian and New World cuisines, all of which I love. However, when I visited Portugal I have found many home style dishes that I can easily recreate here, in Hungary. Your videos showcase dishes that are only a few hundred (or maybe a thousand) kilometres away, but rather unknown outside of a specific region, or country, so can only be known by those who traveled there. Thank you!

[@gavinfarkas283]

[@PaulHardy-yq6fe]

I cooked the Poulet Basquese for guests this weekend - we all loved it, thank you, I did Bacalau en Aciete with celery-in-pomegranate sauce starter, also excellent........but please can you post a link to the lovely background music? Thank you.

Great to hear... plenty to come Mike.

[@flowjoe100]

I can confirm this meal is a winner. Printed off, in the recipe folder & straight into my rotation. Fine work Mr Pete 👏

[@natalialopes719]

Looks amazing!😊

[@celkalamtou7819]

Super félicitations pet à bientôt dans le gers

[@tedstrauss999]

Beautiful. Dear Pete, did you know that across the pond there's a version of a chicken dish from Marbella that's popular at dinner parties? But I've never seen an authentic version of the recipe presented.

[@Petespans]

Oh! I had never heard of it, but I see there are many recipes online. Have you made it? Thanks for tuning in Ted!

[@tedstrauss999]

I have made it a bunch of times yes. Sweet and sour with capers, prunes and olives. What could go wrong.

[@artfulcookingwithdawn9000]

I really hope someday I can travel to Basque country this looks amazing. Great video Pete!

[@BaldingEagle51]

So nice to see another video from you! I spot an Opinel knife, which was invented for crafts and very sharp but is a great knife to any aficionado. I hope the RV does not mark the end of your inspiring biking adventures! Over here we have snow still and I would hesitate to cook outside as you do, even outside my doorstep. :)

[@jimringo2569]

Wow sharp eye! I have an opinel which I believe is for vine and arboring use.

[@uncledad711]

thank you so much for these videos, I never had any idea how much cross over there was between Spanish and French cooking...... always looks amazing yet simple

[@RivetGardener]

excellent dish! I subscribed.

[@damsratt]

Wow, I discovered and have made this dish since you first video from 2017! its been a summer weeknight staple in my house ever since. nice to see you make it again.

[@Petespans]

Delighted :) Enjoy!

[@lordtable4432]

A recipe I will surely be cooking for my gf, who is from Pays Basque. Thank you for this!

[@Petespans]

Wow! There’s a challenge! I’ll take full blame if shes not impressed!

[@shortaybrown]

[@asiersanz8941]

Ezpeleta, Lapurdi.

[@jaikumarvenkatchari3838]

Such dark meat, refreshing to see.

[@FallofftheMap]

What herbs did you use here? What herbs do you recommend?

[@jimringo2569]

Cooked this for Sunday family dinner and was excellent. Did substitute chiles with calabrian those Espellette not at hand. Please forgive.

[@Lughnerson]

Eh, use what you got. I used Cayenne pepper.
