Last night for dinner Jen & I ate at Au Pied de Cochon - literally translated, this means foot of the pig. And these guys are not kidding, menu items included some of the uh, less desirable parts of the pig; for example: Trotter, Brow, Tail & Ear. Neither Jen nor I ventured too far into the more exciting menu options - the only pork that made its way to our table was in the form of Rillettes. For those of you that might not know Rillettes is a slow cooked dish that results in a spreadable deliciousness. We found our way to a two-course menu option for the low price of 22 Euros each. I had the aforementioned Pork Rillettes & Steak Frites, Jen had the traditional Onion Soup & a grilled Salmon with a Beurre Blanc. Quite a delicious meal, we enjoyed a nice Bordeaux (the exact wine escapes me) as our beverage.
