Tarty-what?
I've always known it as 'Sicky'.

Not had it at le mans for a few years, but on a cold night as the darkness closes in it is a wonderful way to warm up. When we first went we had no or little facilities back at camo and a hot meal was always great and the choice was limited at the circuit, I therefore have fond memories of this steaming hot stuff, In the first years there were many places to get it but in recent years there has only been one stall doing it behind the main stands.

I in no way dispute the deliciousness of the stuff.
My first memory of Le Mans was, in 2003, entering the circuit and popping up from the pedestrian tunnel after S/F and being immediately greeted by the big pan of it on my right. (before that area got turned into the semi-permanent 'merch-village')
I thought, "oh my god, that looks like sick!". Hours later I was tuckering down on that tasty mush, a few beers to the better.

I must admit on first sight you are not impressed by the huge pan of goo but it tastes a lot better than it looks and when the air temperature drops it warms you up inside a treat so for all those who have never tried it, give it a go on the saturday evening rather than the tasteless burgers or horrid chilli sausages that upset even the best constitutions

Is the "Chef Simon" referred to in the article actually someone we know?

Can never make my mind up if I like the stuff or not. It looks pretty grim sometimes and the smell....well, I wouldn't talk to anyone in close proximity after eating it. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
Simon's right though, it's great grub for the cold and when it's done well it can be delicious.
Might make a crack at cooking it soon.

Pop into Carrefour in Calais on the way down and pick up a reblochon, it'll age nicely in a warm car and get you used to that sort of scent. Tartiflette will then hold no terrors for your nose...

I will look forward to it. It is usually available at French 2CV meetings, but last time I had the opportunity to have some my gall bladder was playing up and Tartiflette is one thing to avoid with a dodgy gall bladder.

Never heard of it, but I'll say I'll have to give tartiflette a shot if I find it. It has bacon...so, how bad can it be?

That should be a sticker issued by the Tourist Board to be placed on all the local produce in the Sarthe and Loire regions. A lot of it is delicious when you try it, but it's often better to not have its ingredients or preparation described to you first...
