South Brittany Cuisine - In the words of Anthony Bourdain |
South Brittany Cuisine and Seafood - Towers of Shellfish
Oysters, mussels and other ‘fruits de mer’ dominate the Breton cuisine.
Simple dishes made with superb ingredients are the spirit of the local gastronomy.
Breton butter, often salted with sea salt, is used on and in everything.
The area is also famous for its galettes (savoury buckwheat pancakes) crèpes (sweet wheat flour pancakes) cider, mead and beer.
Basically, fresh and well-cared for seafood, milk, apples and wheat are the root of Brittany’s recipes and dishes.
