I ate omble chevalier for only the second time in Semur-en-Auxois (Bourgogne) at the end of August. Delicious. Hadn’t discovered what it is in English so threw it into a search engine and discovered your blog by pure chance. Couldn’t agree more about the complexity of translating fish species. From Semur I was texting a French friend to discover the English for ‘bar’, as in sea-bass. She thought I was talking about somewhere I could get a drink……I’m not that stupid ! The name of that fish confuses me as its often called ‘loup-de-mer’.

Ces rillettes ont été les reines de notre apéro sur la terrasse ce soir.
Heureusement que j’avais triplé les proportions.

Je suis tout à fait d’accord avec toi sur les noms de poisson! Déjà cod et halibut, j’ai du mal, alors les autres…

Oh my! I love Rillettes de porc. My cousin’s husband is from France and he brought me some after he went for a visit to his parents in Paris. I love fish, so this looks splendid indeed!

Bea, that is so strange…I have exactly the same problem but in French. I smell a conspiracy!

Krista, thanks. I am glad you like it.
