After having Armagnac from my birth year - a mere 27 years ago . . . Patrick and I (along with Chris) went out with Laurence and Richard Ciravegna to the Restaurant a l'abbatoir (Or roughly translated: The Slaughterhouse Restaurant).As you can suspect, the vegetarian offerings were not the best. But what do you really expect from a restaurant that was founded because the city butcher would go there everyday for lunch? Regardless, the purpose of our visit was to try araignée which is a specific cut of meat from the cow, which translates to 'spider' in french. It is considered by the french to be one of the best cuts of meat, and it was definitely enjoyed by all (well, except the vegetarian - I had mushrooms with a creme sauce).
