The Chapon Gascon is the ultimate capon
The Chapon Gascon is the ultimate capon, from the rustic Gascon breed which has almost disappeared but which is coming back to the fore thanks to passionate breeders and high-level gastronomes!
Since Henri IV, the Gascon Chapon has been a Royal dish!
He said: "Gavage and Chaponnage are the two breasts of Gascony!" ".
D'Artagnan took up the torch a few centuries later… It became a presidential dish on May 1 at the Elysée…
Xavier ABADIE contributes to safeguarding the gastronomic genetic heritage of this Gascon breed, descended from a very old breed: the Gauloise with black feathers, white skin and blue legs. Fattened with grandmother's tricks (corn mash, ...) the result is magnificent and succulent.
Wrapped in a cloth dyed with Bleu de Lectoure, the true Pastel Blue, this Chapon Gascon has been elected Sentinel by the Slow Food International Association.
