Lanslebourg, France, Oct. 25, 2010—
WE ARRIVED HERE today after a snowy crossing of the Montcenis pass from Italy. I've written a bit about the trip, and this area, at The Eastside View, and won't repeat here: let me just say I'm back in tartiflette country after a little over two years, and happy to share it with Lindsey.
After a cold afternoon of touring we settled down in front of the hearth with a bottle of Apremont, then went into the hotel restaurant for
salad with cheese packets in fyllo dough
tartiflette
mousse au chocolat
and all was exactly as it should be. I love these provincial hotel-restaurants: the cuisine's far from great, but it sure is satisfying.
Oh: tartiflette is baked cheese with sliced potatoes, but you have to have the right cheese. One of the Hundred Plates.
