What kind of meat (or cheese) is it?

Tonight, I'm going to show you a new recipe.

It seems that humbert showed signs of confusion after discovering the pâté de campagne (farmhouse pâté). It's rather likely that this kind of pâté is not common in the United States. Since shadow.97's mind was in a ferment after the photo of the boudin noir was published, we can assume that he enjoys eating farmhouse pâté too, a pâté made from pork meat.
Note that in French, the word "porc" essentially refers to pig meat, but it can refer to the animal as well. Note that the French words porc (pork) and port (harbour/port) have the same pronunciation.

Now look at the photo below.


If you have never heard of pâté de campagne, you have certainly heard of duck foie gras.
These slices of white bread are soft and fluffy, ideal for spreading the foie gras de canard. It is usually eaten cold at the start of the meal.
Look at the subtle color of the foie gras: it is exquisite.

My lady tried to study French in Québec. She that in French, if a word ends in a consonant, that letter is silent. True? I mentioned this because you said "porc" and "port" have identical pronunciations.

Notice I said "tried to" learn French. That's because the quebeçois speak to each other in French, but if you're trying to learn and address them in broken French, they respond in English. This makes learning very difficult. Not so in Ontario and everything to the west and north. Most people in this vast area speak no French at all and have no interest in learning. This is beyond my comprehension.

Generally, if a word ends with a consonant in French, it is not pronounced.
Porc and port are both pronounced "por".
therefore, the sentences below have the same pronunciation, but a different meaning...
- Je vais parler à shadow.97 sur le port (I'm going to talk to shadow.97 on the port)
- Je vais parler à shadow.97 sur le porc (I'm going to talk to shadow.97 about the pig).
But there are exceptions, for the words below the final consonant is pronounced:
sac, décor, fil...

Even if your proficiency in French seems to be pretty high, they are probably afraid you might not understand the answer then.

Tonight, I'm going to show you a new dish.


Look carefully at the photos below.







Humbert, vasudev and shadow.97 have probably never seen such a dish.
In the first picture, you can see some turkey paupiettes, before they are cooked. In the second picture you can see the turkey paupiettes served with red beans.
But the most interesting is the content of those paupiettes. In the third picture, we can see that they are stuffed with ratatouille and turkey meat. Actually, the wrapping is composed of pork meat (it looks like bacon).

I like beans and I'm sure those in the picture are delicious. But if I ate them all at one time, I'd be shiттing for days.  :)

Today, I'm going to show you a new dish.


Look at the pictures below.


This pork sausage is pretty big. In order to cook it properly,  we are going to boil it in a stockpot.



The sausage is being boiled.



As you can see in the picture below, the sausage is served with Farfalle pasta. Once served, let's sprinkle with thyme and drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil. Common thyme makes a great addition to any pasta dish indeed.
This is certainly a good recipe for the users of the forum.

In the previous message, humbert explained that beans are rather indigestible and perhaps utterly unfit for an healthy diet. But there is a natural solution to intestinal transit problems. In the picture below, there is a clue (Shadow.97 and Vasudev may have found it). It is the yogurt with Bifidus bacteria. Bifidus can help improve digestion by breaking down food and aiding in nutrient absorption, thus reducing bloating and discomfort.

Come to think of it, just for the heck of it I started taking some probiotic tablets and, based on what you said, the amount of flatulence I had has been reduced significantly. It's seems you're right about beneficial bacteria.
