Coq au vin is a real favorite of mine: solid peasant food that makes fancy types keel right over!
(Much like my favorite hot & sour soup - but you already know that)
I owe my love of coq au vin to the very dear, very departed Metis, without whom life continues to be much more work & much less fun than it once was. Among the many other things she left me is her recipe, which I only prepare in winter, & then only once or twice a year - it's almost TOO good.
Reminds me: I have a recipe here for beef & cabbage soup that'll make you slap yo' gra'mama...some perrano cheese, some cracked-pepper bread, an' you'll never go hungry again....
