This time let me take you on a culinary voyage to a lesser known, but vivid culture of France (and Spain), down south on the Atlantic coast, surrounded by the Pyrenees; the Basque. The Basque people have historically lived in the region around the borders of France and Spain and present day Basque population is distributed in the Autonomous Communities of the Basque Country and Navarre in Spain and the Northern Basque Country in France. The Basque culture is quite unique and though has evolved to dissimilate into the surrounding cultures of France and Spain, it still guards some of its typical features, mainly the language and the culinary specialties. One such gastronomical delight is the Poulet Basquaise (Basque Chicken) which originated from the French part of the Basque Country.
