The Foie Gras and Truffle Festival.

This is where I went yesterday.....

 I had a great day out, mainly watching some of the regions best chefs giving cookery demonstrations. All their recipes featured foie gras and/or truffles, and the best bit was that you got to taste the dish afterwards. Everything tasted wonderful , and looked amazing.

This particular dish I tried was raw fillet of beef, layered with foie gras, garnished with a dice of beetroot and black radish. It was wonderful and needless to say not typical of what we normally eat!

I also got to see some award winning truffles, and learned a bit about them. Will be keeping my eyes open whilst out walking from now on!

This one was about the size of a tennis ball, and the ticket says it costs 800euros per kilo! That's about £660 per kilo!
At lunchtime I  sampled some more foie gras. This time I could choose between foie gras with fig, with champagne, or just plain old foie gras! I chose the one with figs and it was divine!

                                       Just couldn't resist taking a photo before I devoured it.

I finished up having another wander around the beautiful town of Sarlat and took some more photos.
