What to get from France?

[Europilgrim]

DH is going to France this week for work. Neither of us have left the country for two years and he wants to know what I would like him to bring back. Apart from cheese I can't think of anything! Help me Mners!

Fritelles gout bacon 🥓 I had such massive cravings for these when I was pregnant with my dd that I went on a day trip to get them. They are basically bacon chipsticks. Not the most sophisticated thing but you cannot get them here.

Oh God, yes. I adore these!

If you like puddings there's tins of Mont Blanc which comes in several flavours like pistachio, vanilla, etc. It's a bit like Angel Delight but better.

For sea-food lovers there's tins of scallops already made up into Coquille St Jacques with scallop shells attached with shrink wrap. Delicious.

Tinned duck confit - duck legs slow cooked in fat. Horrifically calorific but reheated in oven (out of the fat), serve with mashed potato and steamed green beans. Yum.

Champagne- and lots of it!!

def. the butter with the large salt crystals, muummmmm

Merguez sausages, carambar sweets, tinned whole marrons, crème de marron (great substitute for flour for a gluten free chocolate cake) Tins of taboulet.

Lots of saucisson. I forget what it’s called, but the fruit syrup stuff that’s really concentrated but delicious as a cordial.

A non food item is a salt pig. I bought one in France years ago and I still use it every day. They are good gifts too.

I like the not very strong fruit liqueurs to have topped up with cheap sparkling wine as an aperitif. This type of thing: www.intermarche.com/produit/creme-de-mure/3104760003862 - they make great Christmas presents too.

I'm wondering what the OP actually got? 🤔

Mostly cheese!

Excellent selection 👌

Brets salt and vinegar crisps

Oh I’m too late. Should have read the thread!

Good haul though

I know the OP has received her lovely goodies but if people can keep this going I would be very grateful!
