The Normans can eat...and they do my kind of eating. Cream, butter, cheese, oysters, lamb...everything I love. I honestly don't know how they stay so skinny!
The lamb in the area is absolutely fantastic. Due to overflooding by the sea, salt marsh meadows were created, which are perfect for sheep to graze. So, the lamb in the area is naturally seasoned - do try it if you find it on a menu - truly a treat!
The Normans make lovely cheeses, like Camembert, Pont l'Évêque, Petit Suisse and Boursin. I am a true cheese lover - with bread, crackers or just plain cheese - I can totally overindulge on the creamy yummy-ness that is cheese.
Another highlight in Normandy is anything made from apples: calvados, apple cider, tartes aux pommes, pomme compote etc. Fresh pastries with warm apple inside it...yum...I dream of the smells and tastes of a good patisserie!
The seafood in the area is fabulous! Dishes like coquille Saint Jacques (scallops) and Moules a la Normande (mussels cooked in apples and cream) are just devine. And lets not forget fresh oysters...crave!
