Just planning an outing to Albi with some family members and wondered if anyone has any recommendations for good restaurants in Albi for lunch. Not looking for anything excessive on the price front, just a good mid-range eatery. Thanks in advance.

Hello,I would like to share this fantastic local product with you all !.My French neighbours they have a farm and they are running a Bio Beef business.They do the whole process from A to Z Bio so that means they grow the food for the cows and everything is from their land with no chemical or other products!I eat it now for a year and it is true i never had meat that taste so good.They have a website (in french) www.saveurlubia.fr (i made the site for them) where you can order their products.You can buy Boeuf 12.50 € kg and Veau 13.00 € kg.You can choose between 7 and 10 kg.So if you really want 100 % pure Bio beef Meat than this is the place ! they also deliver at home.

Hi We went to a Banquet de la chasse last weekend and had some beautiful Assiette de charcuterie de sanglier. Have never seen this in the shops and wondering where we could buy it. Didn't think to ask the locals but with such a treasure I am not sure if I would tell anyone. The terrine was good but the dry cured ham was exceptional.

Anybody any idea where I can buy individual butter portions at a reasonable price in catering quantities? Either in the little plastic pots or the folded paper version, I'm not fussy. I have surfed the french web in vain. Thanks.

What is chilli powder in French? I have bought Piment de Cayenne, which is the only thing the supermarket has that looks like it - is that the same thing ??

At the Sédouprat Xmas Fair the free roast chestnuts and mulled wine will now be served for the whole event (from 3) with all the other foods and gifts. Originally (as advertised), we were just going to serve mulled wine and chestnuts after 6 but the recent downpours and resulting mud will make night time parking a bit slow, so we thought by extending availability into daylight hours we would avoid any bottlenecks up the road. Thanks.Nick
