A type of weever. A marine fish with poisonous spines. Alec, of Padstow Angling Centre tells me that the greater weever is one of the finest fishes to eat. This is a place that knows its fish, so I look forward to trying it as soon as I can.
Some riverside restaurants keep an enclosure, or vivier, in the river in which they keep fish until they are needed.
A free-range young chicken fattened on maize and buckwheat, killed and plucked by hand and bathed in milk. Reputedly the best chickens available in France with fine flavour, they come from Bresse, not far north of Lyon.
A puff pastry case, usually bite-size, most often with a savoury filling mixed with a little béchamel sauce, and topped with a puff pastry lid.
