Galette-saucisse
(Redirected from Galette saucisse)
Galette-saucisse is a traditional dish from the region of Brittany in France. It consists of a pork sausage wrapped in a buckwheat crêpe, known as a galette. This dish is particularly popular in the area around Rennes, the capital of Brittany.
History[edit | edit source]
The origins of the galette-saucisse date back to the 19th century. It was initially a popular meal among the working class due to its simplicity and affordability. Over time, it has become a symbol of Breton culture and is often enjoyed during local festivals and events.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
The preparation of a galette-saucisse involves two main components: the galette and the sausage. The galette is made from buckwheat flour, water, and salt, and is cooked on a hot griddle. The sausage is typically a pork sausage, which is grilled or fried until fully cooked. The cooked sausage is then placed in the center of the galette, which is folded around it.
Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]
In Brittany, the galette-saucisse is more than just a dish; it is a cultural icon. It is commonly sold at markets, festivals, and sports events, particularly football matches involving the local team, Stade Rennais F.C.. The dish is often accompanied by a glass of cider, another staple of Breton cuisine.
Variations[edit | edit source]
While the traditional galette-saucisse is quite simple, there are several variations. Some versions include additional ingredients such as mustard, onions, or cheese. However, purists argue that these additions detract from the authenticity of the dish.
