Hi, Does anyone know the french name of black cod or sable: the fish used to make the blackened miso cod found at Roy’s or Nobu, etc. The recipe is simple (search Nobu Miso Cod on the web), but living in Paris, I have no clue what to ask for at the poissonerie! Merci!

Bea – I have almost finished my post and came to look at yours (I didn’t want to read anyone else’s before I finished my own list.) Fred is a HUGE fan of tartiflette, it has already been blogged chez nous. He remarked just aa couple of days ago that he can’t wait to make it again with the new improved fatted calf bacon. we cant always get reblochon around here though. Hopefully we will be able to find some when we need it.

thanks for tagging me!

I’m strictly an amateur chef but these would be in my list:

1] Soupe au pistou (The season for that is RIGHT NOW, when the markets are perfumed with basilic).

2] Civet de lievre (The season is coming right up).

Hi all!

I am glad you enjoyed the list, and I would happily dine with all of you before I die too (hint Bron! )

The hike and picnic, or any food eaten outside, the anticipation (so well described Chip as true, we always try to push the moment we have food further, so that it tastes better!), yes indeed, a very special moment, isn’t it?

As to the Bouillabaisse, I am just craving one now!

Thanks for stopping by!. Always a pleasure to read you!

How I agree with you, Béa. The Bouillabaisse, the wild strawberry… I don’t know about a picnic after hiking but any picnic seems to me so close to heaven…

Hi Bea! Oh, how could i have missed this entry? Never mind. I love your selections… Bouillabaisse and Black Cod really is another i must try. Wild strawberries is something i’ve never come across of either. Oh, there’s just so much food i need to try before i die happily!!! Thanks for the list.

Oh yes, agree agree agree agree agree! I love your inclusion of the picnic after a hike, since that is so true, though I also find that any food eaten outdoors tastes somehow better (when I used to go camping with my family as a kid I would always tell my mother how amazing it seemed that the same things we ate at home – a simple sandwich, a bowl of spaghetti – tasted so much better around a campfire!).

And those wild strawberries, I think I only tried them once but the flavor seared itself into my memory forever. Incredible!

je n’ai jamais mangé une bouillabaisse, mais s’il fait partie de ta liste, il va falloir que je fasse un tour vers Marseille pour tester

Thanks Bea, for the list and for saying hello. Excellent call on the post-hike (or mid-hike, I guess) picnic. The anticipation, the putting off, the setting and then that provisional thrill you get from the thought that you’re outside your comfort zone and that this is the only food you have. I love that. And, as a cheesemaker, I love too your inclusion of the tartiflette with the mache. Everything playing so well off one another.
