jeepster:

it's good tony, thickish tomato and red wine sauce, sliced chorizo and onion fried till the onion is soft and the chorizo has a little colour, soak the butter beans over night and simmer them for about 30 minutes, then chuck everything in the same pan, simemr for 45 minutes ish till it's tasting like you think it should

I will give that a go sometime this week

Tony U:

Donkey Sausage I am not worried about. I would have been more concerned if you had L'Ortolan in there.

L'Ortolan is I am afraid interdit these days. (Even the French get stuff banned by Brussells), and anyway l'ortolan stinks to high heaven. For those not in the know, l'ortolan are artificially fattened buntings.

Oh, I've just found out...Donkey???

|Hey, your getting good at this French Davy, yes saucisson d'ane is indeed made from donkey meat. I would roughly translate it as 'donkey meat salami' Tastes just like wild boar salami and is great with some nice salty butter and a fresh baguette.

Jeepsters favorite = "foie gras".

Apparently, this contains "no intensively reared meat".

I don't understand your confusion, this is one of my favourites too. Can be intensively or traditionally reared.

Yep it all depends how you shove the corn into their crop: by machine - intensively reared, by hand - traditionally reared, easy..

Actualy I am a bit of a fan of foie gras myself though I do prefer rignones al jerez.

whats confusing (or intensive) about geese or ducks with plenty of room to live and exist, fed good quality food, they aren't 'force fed' at least not the foie gras i buy, and they are most certainly not intensively reared.
