I have only just returned from Lille yesterday with a car boot filled with wine, cheese and other such things procured en France.

Now, one such thing was a rotie poulet from a local market with potatoes cooked in the fat dripping from the chickens, with some green beans. It sat resting for about 4-5 hours as we made our way home and upon arriving at maison WES we consumed it ravenously.

I must say it was stunning, better than anything we ate in Lille despite the fact that everything we ate in Lille was at least good, some of it very good. Now does my memory fail me or in the past have you not questioned how good roast chicken can actually be?

GG - I had tartare here:

They had only an Italian or a Thai option which disappointed me. But it must be said that the Thai was quite stunning.
