I'm Nuts For This Sausage
line

April 28, 2005

A friend of mine, another David L (who also worked at Chez Panisse with me and is now a chef in Switzerland) comes to visit me often, and it's one of the few times I let someone else into my tiny kitchen. He's a terrific cook, and perhaps the only person who is more picky about the way things should be in a kitchen than I am.
David and I like to roam about town looking for things to eat but we always we have a falafel at L'As du Falafel on the rue des Rosiers, in the Marais when he arrives. I usually insist visitors to Paris go there during their trip, since I would rank their 3.5 euro falafel as good as many 3-star dining experiences (and better, and cheaped, than one I recently had.)

Recently we were at the Richard Lenoir market, off the Bastille, and on sunday (the market is thursday and sunday) there are two of the nicest young women from the Savoie selling products from their region. They've got everything from buckwheat squares of pasta, rugged mountain cheeses, and cured meats. David (the other one) was excited to see this sausage which is studded with nuts!

It seemed pretty wacky to me to put nuts in sausage, isn't it? But the nutty, crunchy almonds are terrific and I can't wait until next sunday since, as you can see, I'm almost at the end of my, er, sausage.

(Apologies to Heidi Swanson, at 101Cookbooks, for this rather meaty entry. She's given me some good guidance for my site and I promise to do something with vegetables again soon. Check out her blog, which was just nominated for a Webby Award.)

See you in Paris. A falafel at L'As du Falafel sounds really good, and if you go to the Richard Lenoir market at the Bastille on sundays, look for the two women from the Savoie who sell that great sausage, as well as astoundingly good cheeses. They're located near the rue Pasteur Wagner side of the market, towards the west.
