 +====== Normandy Cuisine ======
  
 +==== Tripes à la Mode de Caen ====
 +A bold Norman classic made with beef tripe, trotters, and vegetables, slow-cooked in apple cider and Calvados. Earthy, gelatinous, and deeply traditional. [([[https://www.tasteatlas.com/tripes-a-la-mode-de-caen|Taste Atlas]])]
 + 
 +==== Teurgoule ====
 +A unique, long-baked rice pudding flavored with cinnamon, slow-cooked in an earthenware pot until caramelized and custardy. A sweet comfort food born from frugality. [([[https://www.delscookingtwist.com/french-teurgoule-slow-baked-rice-pudding/|Del's Cooking Twist]])]
 +
 +==== Poulet Vallée d’Auge ====
 +Chicken simmered in a sauce of apples, cream, mushrooms, and Calvados. It perfectly embodies the marriage of Normandy’s orchard and dairy heritage. [([[https://www.forloveofthetable.com/2011/10/poulet-vallee-dauge-chicken-with.html|For The Love of the Table]])]

 +
 +==== Pré-Salé Lamb ====
 +Raised on salt marshes near Mont-Saint-Michel, this lamb has a subtle salty-sweet flavor. Usually roasted simply to highlight its unique taste. [([[https://www.myfrenchlife.org/2025/05/08/self-seasoning-lamb-the-salt-marsh-sheep-of-mont-saint-michel/|My French Life]])]
 +
 +==== Andouille de Vire ====
 +A smoked sausage made with chitterlings and pork meat, originating in Vire. Intense, chewy, and deeply smoky — an acquired but traditional taste. [([[https://www.tasteatlas.com/andouille-de-vire|Taste Atlas]])]
 +
 +==== Omelette de la Mère Poulard ====
 +A fluffy, almost soufflé-like omelette from Mont-Saint-Michel, made famous by La Mère Poulard. Whipped with flair and cooked in copper pans over open flames. [([[https://www.thefrenchcookingacademy.com/recipes/souffle-omelette-de-le-mere-poulard|French Cooking Academy]])]
 +
 +==== Carottes à la Crème ====

 +
 +==== Canard à la Rouennaise (Rouen Duck) ====
 +Duck prepared in two parts: breast grilled rare, and the carcass pressed to extract blood and juices for a rich sauce with red wine. A luxurious and theatrical dish. [([[https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20250110-frances-most-elaborate-and-macabre-recipe|BBC]])]
 +
 +==== Gâteau de Foies Blancs ====

 +
 +==== Crêpes à la Normande ====
 +Thin crêpes filled with caramelized apples and flambéed with Calvados, sometimes finished with a dollop of crème fraîche. Dessert with a kick! [([[https://www.beka-cookware.com/en/blogs/inspiratie/pancake-with-apple-crepe-normande|Beka Cookware]])]
 +
 +==== Pommeau-Glazed Scallops ====
 +Scallops from the Normandy coast seared and glazed with Pommeau (an apple juice-Calvados aperitif), creating a sweet-savory sea bite. [([[https://www.calvados-huet.com/gb/content/9-food-recipes|Calvados Huet]])]
 +
 +==== Neufchâtel en Croûte ====
 +The heart-shaped soft cheese from Neufchâtel, baked inside a puff pastry shell. Often served with apple chutney — creamy, flaky, and romantic. [([[https://desertislanddishes.co/camembert-en-croute-whole-baked-camembert-in-puff-pastry/|Desert Island Dishes]])]
