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

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...

Honest, I had not noticed that mention, never tried to actually make the stuff as we do not have a giant wok/pan somethings taste better when you come upon them just when you are cold and hungry

There are some things that are real must try items at the circuit, Tarteflette, rillet bagettes and grand marnier crepes are my best picks, but i am sure there are others

Just like McDonalds: "I'm Lovin' It". Sarthe Food: "How Bad Can It Be?"

If I can find Tarteflette I'll give it a go. As for the Grand Marnier grepes...I'm embarrassed to admit it: I've yet to get one. They were swamped when I first walked by them in '11 and closed when I passed them again at 3AM. So I made it a point not to miss it in '12...and I most certainly did. Not in '14.

But you can dip the churros in chocolate, which I believe adds to their sweetness.

Haven't had them at the track, but do confess to having eaten them at a popular Mexican restaurant chain in London (I might even have to confess to having enjoyed them somewhat).

Hmmm, it actually looks pretty good in the pic Simon. It's never looked that good (to me anyway) at the circuit.......

You gotta be kidding! Sounds absolutely delicious to me! I love churros. It's the staple diet at the circuit for the discerning palates of Team DoT........


But I'm definitely with you on the GM crepes.

Man, I'm feeling hungry already!

Not sure that sugary dough coated in chocy would be good for a diabetic like me even if they actually tasted nice, the GM crepes are not actually the best thing for me either but they taste yummy
