St Malo


The tender service started late because of fog around the harbour and consequent safety concerns. However, it lifted slightly and Diva and TSH were able to accompany the executive chef to a local farmers’ market. The chef amazed one stall holder by buying 2Kg of pate – more than she had ever sold in one go before. The group tasted cheeses, of which there were more varieties than most UK people could imagine. Hams and other cooked meats were stored right next to raw chicken but it was not possible to work out if hands were washed between handling the different items. TSH and Diva bought, ate and enjoyed a local speciality – Gallette saucisse – a pancake wrapped round a sausage.
