Sarlat

What a great day. What a great market. All in all a place not to be missed.

What else can I say? If you don't like the idea of eating goose liver, make sure you do not mention it in Sarlat, as the entire local economy is built on this...
We recently visited Sarlat, which at only 2.5 hours drive from Toulouse, and discovered a typical regional French medieval village. Sarlat has one of the most beautiful open air markets of France, and is reknown for this. Hard to choose amongst all the types of fresh sausages, from duck meat sausage to porc sausage with truffle, or from porc sausage with roquefort to porc sausage with wild mushrooms. So the only thing is to try them all!!!! You have an incredible choice of walnuts all prepared in different ways, truffles, truffle oils, mushrooms, duck liver (foie gras). A truely incredible shopping experience for both the cronic household chef to the occassional weekend pot roast warrior. Visit, taste and enjoy!
