FROGS LEGS


Christelle, ready to go through the arches of Souzay.

We cycled back to Saumur together. Christelle knew all the back roads through Turquant, Souzay, Parnay. We got a good workout.
When we arrived at their apartment Christophe was busy making his specialité de maison: frogs legs and a tripe dish that resembled menudo. The frogs legs (cuisse de grenouille) were sautéed in butter and garlic with a generous helping of parsley. I had never had frogs legs before. They were delicious. They tripe dish was also very good.
After dinner we went walking in Saumur. There was a fête musicale going on with stages set up in different streets for different kinds of live music. It was close to midnight when Christelle took me home.
