<\/figure>\nOur gourmet gastronomic itinerary begins with a starter, of course! In Toulouse, there\u2019s no need to wait until the end of the year to treat yourself: you can enjoy duck or goose foie gras from January right through to December.<\/p>\n
And if you want to play the perfect Toulousain card, why not embellish your foie gras on toast with an onion confit with violets? This is another of the city\u2019s specialities, which I\u2019ll tell you about later.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\nMake way for an essential feature of any Toulousain menu: the famous Toulouse sausage. Equally good roasted, fried or grilled, this large pork sausage is served in many restaurants in the Pink City and is eaten all-year round (oh yes!<\/em>). <\/p>\nA Toulouse sausage has to be earned! You\u2019ll have to get up early if you want to get the best in town to cook at home, which can be found at Victor Hugo Market<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\nIf you would rather someone cook it for you, it will come with its perfect accompaniment: duck fat fries. And if you\u2019ve ever been to the north of France, where the fries are made with beef fat, whatever you do don\u2019t tell a Toulousain that they were better!<\/p>\n

Toulouse-style chicken<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\nFor those who love poultry, don\u2019t miss the Toulouse-style chicken! Stuffed with Toulouse sausage, olives, tomato, onion and garlic (no less!<\/em>), it\u2019s then coated in butter before going in the oven. I said you wouldn\u2019t go hungry: food in the South West is rich to say the least!<\/p>\nAnd if that wasn\u2019t enough, this chicken is served with goat cheese, which itself is topped with onion and honey. This winning combo can be found in most food outlets in Toulouse.<\/p>\n
