pré-salé

/pray SAH-lay/
[French]

"Salt meadow." Lamb pastured in salt marshes washed by the sea in the immediate vicinity of Mont St-Michel. The meat is always served young and usually roasted. The grazing is said to flavour the meat which is always salty. This occurs because of a wonderful process called “embruns” by which the wind off the sea blows droplets of salt water onto the grass.
