It is also interesting that citizens often eat not meat or fish with a side dish but soup for dinner. Cooking soup was a real test of the cook's patience a few centuries ago. Hundreds of ingredients were included in many varieties of this dish. Of course, such difficulties have faded into the background today. However, the soup is still cooked with great care in Lourdes. You should taste, for example, julienne soup with meat or fish broth. You should not think that you will certainly find mushrooms in this dish. "Julienne" in the French is a certain way of slicing ingredients, no more. Fish fans should taste Bouillabaisse. Several varieties of fish are included in it. Do you want something simpler? You should taste the vegetable soup Pistou, Panade bread soup or a thick soup of lentils Conti. Don't be surprised if you see "Eclair" as the first course on the menu. This is a vermicelli soup with milk, egg yolk, and parmesan. Meat stew with vegetables is served in special pots. Dubarry with milk and cauliflower and Potage de melon from melon are even more exotic. You should also taste onion soup with croutons and cheese. Almost all citizens regardless of the level of income regularly eat this simple and at the same time hearty dish.
The variety of meat dishes in Lourdes will amaze you. It is worth noting that fried frog legs, snails, and foie gras are not part of the daily diet of citizens. Moreover, many residents are skeptical about these dishes that have made French cooking famous. However, you must decide on your own whether you want to taste these delicacies. Frog legs, by the way, taste like chicken. You should definitely taste rooster in wine. This dish is called "Kok-o-Vin". Veal stew with egg, mushrooms, egg, onion, and spices is also interesting. It's called Blunketta. You should also taste the beef roast Rôti. Lung de Buf of beef tongue deserves attention.
If you want more unusual dishes, then you should pay attention to the Bouchee a la Reine. This is the pancreas of a bird with seasonings. La Mod de Ca is also an unusual dish. This is a rumen with white wine. Cervelle is an even more original dish. This is the brain of a lamb cooked in a special way.
