Aioli

Aioli, allioli or aïoli ( or ; provençal occitan: alhòli [aˈʎɔli] or aiòli [aˈjɔli]; catalan: allioli [ˌaʎiˈɔli]; spanish: alioli [ˌaliˈoli]) is a cold sauce consisting of an emulsion of garlic, salt, olive oil, and often egg; it is found in the cuisines of the northwest mediterranean, from andalusia to calabria. the names mean "garlic and oil" in catalan, provençal and italian. it is found in the cuisines of the mediterranean coasts of spain (catalonia, the valencian community, the balearic islands, murcia and eastern andalusia), france (provence), italy (sicily and calabria), and malta. some versions of the sauce are closer to a garlic mayonnaise, incorporating egg yolks and lemon juice, whereas other versions are without egg yolk and have more garlic. this gives the sauce a pastier texture, while making it more laborious to make as the emulsion is harder to stabilize. there are many variations, such as adding lemon juice or other seasonings. in france, it may include mustard.like mayonnaise, aioli is an emulsion or suspension of small globules of oil and oil-soluble compounds in water and water-soluble compounds. in spain, purists believe aioli should not include egg, but in france and elsewhere, egg or egg yolk is the usual emulsifier. since about 1990, it has become common in the united states to call all flavored mayonnaises aioli. purists insist that flavored mayonnaise can contain garlic, but true aioli contains garlic and no other seasoning (except salt).

Armagnac

Armagnac (, french: [aʁmaɲak]) is a distinctive kind of brandy produced in the armagnac region in gascony, southwest france. it is distilled from wine usually made from a blend of grapes including baco 22a, colombard, folle blanche and ugni blanc, traditionally using column stills rather than the pot stills used in the production of cognac, which is made predominantly from ugni blanc grapes. the resulting spirit is then aged in oak barrels before release. production is overseen by the institut national de l'origine et de la qualité (inao) and the bureau national interprofessionel de l'armagnac (bnia). armagnac was one of the first areas in france to begin distilling spirits, but the overall volume of production is far smaller than cognac production and therefore is less known outside europe. in addition, it is for the most part made and sold by small producers, whereas cognac production is dominated by big-name brands, especially courvoisier (owned by beam suntory), hennessy (lvmh), martell (pernod ricard), and rémy martin (rémy cointreau).

Brandade

Brandade is an emulsion of salt cod, olive oil, and usually potatoes. it is eaten in the winter with bread or potatoes. in french it is sometimes called brandade de morue and in spanish it can be called brandada de bacalao ('morue' and 'bacalao' meaning salt cod). brandade is a specialty of the roussillon, languedoc and provence regions of occitanie (in present-day france); and catalonia, balearic islands and valencia in eastern spain. similar preparations are found in other mediterranean countries such as italy (baccalà mantecato), portugal, the greek cyclades (brantada) and other regions of spain (for example, atascaburras, which is done with salt cod, olive oil, potato and chestnut) where dried salt cod is also enjoyed.the word "brandada", like paella, matelote and others, has no translation into any language. cod in french is called cod and in occitan hake. in nineteenth-century france, baron de brisse wrote a daily recipe for the world in the newspaper la liberté, and these recipes were collected in 1868. one of them explained how to season what he called cod brandade, but in modern french it is called cod brandade.in menorca (balearic islands, spain) sometimes artichokes may be added. in marseille and toulon, crushed garlic is added to the dish. potato is also added to brandade in france and basque country, but not in catalonia. neither cream nor milk are included in traditional recipes in occitania or spain.the early versions of the recipe contained only cod and oil, but potatoes have long been added. the version with potatoes may be called brandade de morue parmentière, after antoine-augustin parmentier.

Daube

Daube is a classic provençal (or more broadly, french) stew made with inexpensive beef braised in wine, vegetables, garlic, and herbes de provence, and traditionally cooked in a daubière, a braising pan. a traditional daubière is a terracotta pot that resembles a pitcher, with a concave lid. water is poured on the lid, which condenses the moisture inside, allowing for the long cooking required to tenderize lesser cuts of meat. the meat used in daube is cut from the shoulder and back of the bull, though some suggest they should be made from three cuts of meat: the "gelatinous shin for body, short ribs for flavor, and chuck for firmness." although most modern recipes call for red wine, a minority call for white, as do the earliest recorded daube recipes.daube is adapted in new orleans cuisine to make daube glacé. variations also call for olives, prunes, and flavoring with duck fat, vinegar, brandy, lavender, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, juniper berries, or orange peel. for best flavor, it is cooked in several stages, and cooled for a day after each stage to allow the flavors to meld together. in the camargue and béarn area of france, bulls killed in bullfighting festivals are often used for daube.traditionally it should be cooked for a long time and prepared the night before it is served. daube with lamb is traditionally made with white wine.

Garbure

Garbure is a thick french stew traditionally based on cabbage and confit d'oie, though the modern version is usually made with ham, cheese and stale bread. the name derives from the use of the term garb to describe sheaves of grain depicted on a heraldic shield or coat of arms. thus the name of garbure, which is eaten with a fork, is a reference to the use of pitchforks to pick up sheaves of grain. it originated in gascony in the historical cultural region of occitania. it is similar to potée.garbure was the daily sustenance of gascon peasantry. it varied from home to home, resources of the cook, household income, and rhythms of the seasons. the dish is based on lengthy simmering of an assortment of vegetables and meats, generally meats preserved en confit. the essential cabbage may be accompanied by broad beans, fresh or dried, mangetout peas, potatoes, turnips, peas, onions, carrots, celeriac, kohlrabi, beets, lettuce,, nettles, borage, or even chestnuts. a large tureen of garbure is often presented to the table in bearnais restaurants at the start of the meal, and guests can help themselves to as much as they wish. frequently the meal would end with a traditional chabrot, which is a custom of mixing half a glass of red wine in with the liquid left in the bottom of one's bowl after eating the solid contents, and then consuming it.

Laguiole

Laguiole (french pronunciation: ​[laɡjɔl], locally [lajɔl]), sometimes called tome de laguiole, is a french cheese from the plateau of aubrac, situated at between 800 - 1500m, in the region of aveyron in the southern part of france. it takes its name from the small town of laguiole and has been protected under the french appellation d'origine contrôlée (aoc) since 1961 and by the amended decree in 1986. laguiole is said to have been invented at a monastery in the mountains of aubrac in the 19th century. according to historical accounts, the monks passed down the recipe for making this cheese from cattle during the alpages to the local buronniers, the owners of burons, or mountain huts. french-cheese.com describes the flavor as: "it is thus surprisingly tender on the palate leaving a persistently wettish sensation. its first hazelnut taste quickly transforms into a subtle acidic bouquet, in which touches of floral aromas with a very slight bitter sensation are mixed together with a low acidic piquant taste because of the salt."today, laguiole is made in three different départements: aveyron, cantal and lozère by the coopérative jeune montagne. it is the only producer currently licensed to produce this cheese. with a 45% fat content, laguiole has a pressed, uncooked paste made exclusively from raw, unpasteurized french simmental or aubrac cow's milk collected between may and october above 800m altitude. 666 tonnes were produced in 1998 (-9.14% since 1996) from 20,000 - 30,000 litres of milk collected from 79 different farms. the tome weighs 40–50 kg (88–110 lb) and is distinguished by a bull sign and its name stamped on the rind, as well as by an aluminum identification plaque. its production process starts with renneting before the curd is pressed in two consecutive stages. maturing takes at least six months and may be as long as twelve months. the rind is natural and thick, the straw-colored paste supple and firm, and the texture rich and creamy. recommended wines: fruity red wines such as the marcillac, cahors or etraygues. traditionally, tome (or tomme) de laguiole is one of the principal ingredients in aligot (mash potatoes with cheese, cream and butter).

Roquefort

Roquefort is a sheep milk cheese from southern france, and is one of the world's best known blue cheeses. though similar cheeses are produced elsewhere, eu law dictates that only those cheeses aged in the natural combalou caves of roquefort-sur-soulzon may bear the name roquefort, as it is a recognised geographical indication, or has a protected designation of origin. the cheese is white, tangy, crumbly and slightly moist, with distinctive veins of blue mold. it has a characteristic fragrance and flavor with a notable taste of butyric acid; the blue veins provide a sharp tang. it has no rind; the exterior is edible and slightly salty. a typical wheel of roquefort weighs between 2.5 and 3 kg (6 and 7 lb), and is about 10 cm (4 in) thick. each kilogram of finished cheese requires about 4.5 liters of milk to produce. in france, roquefort is often called the "king of cheeses" or the "cheese of kings", although those names are also used for other cheeses.

Sanglier

The wild boar (sus scrofa), also known as the wild swine, common wild pig, eurasian wild pig, or simply wild pig, is a suid native to much of eurasia and north africa, and has been introduced to the americas and oceania. the species is now one of the widest-ranging mammals in the world, as well as the most widespread suiform. it has been assessed as least concern on the iucn red list due to its wide range, high numbers, and adaptability to a diversity of habitats. it has become an invasive species in part of its introduced range. wild boars probably originated in southeast asia during the early pleistocene and outcompeted other suid species as they spread throughout the old world.as of 1990, up to 16 subspecies are recognized, which are divided into four regional groupings based on skull height and lacrimal bone length. the species lives in matriarchal societies consisting of interrelated females and their young (both male and female). fully grown males are usually solitary outside the breeding season. the wolf is the wild boar's main predator in most of its natural range except in the far east and the lesser sunda islands, where it is replaced by the tiger and komodo dragon respectively. the wild boar has a long history of association with humans, having been the ancestor of most domestic pig breeds and a big-game animal for millennia. boars have also re-hybridized in recent decades with feral pigs; these boar–pig hybrids have become a serious pest wild animal in the americas and australia.
