Eating Healthily on your Camping Vacation in Burgundy.

The Protein The primary protein in the area is the Carollais meat cattle, and as such carnivores are warranted huge rich portions. Coq au Vin follows an analogous formula, only with chicken rather than meat. This style is repeated with several other dishes, and if your French isnt that good, keep an eye out for the phrase "a la Bourguignonne". There are sure to be some trattorias near your campsite in Burgundy serving this sort of food, given its such a preferred local fare. The effects of global warming is causing concern around the world and it appears that France isn't an exception. Burgundy celebrates its love of wine But it seems like for the year at least, the French wine industry is as booming as ever with Burgundy neighbors anticipating several wine related events for 2007. 2 that are prepared to prove especially favored by both visitors and neighbors alike are the standard Beaujolais Nouveau parties held in Nov and the Chablis Wine Holiday which happens in the same month. Set in the Jardin de LArquebuse, the gardens were made in an effort to grow, study and protect plants and flowers from the area and all over the world.

The Sauces & Seasonings The regions most famed seasoning is the mustard. You may very well finish up looking to take these back as keepsakes from your time expended camping in Burgundy. As well as the wine based ones discussed above, cream based sauces are also common, infrequently mingled with the mustard like in andouillette de Macon, for instance. Toward the south of the red Burgundy area is Beaujolais where gamay grapes are used providing a rather more dry, fruity flavor, letting them compliment all types of food.
