The word fagot has never appealed. The look of english faggots just about sums up the nature and laziness of british cuisine..yet the word Gayette or Boulette or Crepinette cascades from the mouth and sends dribbles of saliva forth to the corners of my mouth. Yet for all intents and purposes they are much the same thing.
I make and sell Crepinettes on a regular basis varying fillings from rabbit, venison, pigeon, and pork none of these containing any of the offal.
However, a Gayette does contain offal and differs from the english faggot in that it contains passion and knowledge. I therefore am sharing with you one of my versions utilising a number of wild spring vegetables.
