Oh yes - is that a pair of merguez nestling in there amongst the frites?

Just need to substitute some moutarde for the kethcup and mayo for me......

What is that called?
I think the people i travelled down with last year, talked about it, and humorously called it a "stake'a's*it"

[Aysedasi]

If it's merguez in there, its a sandwich Americaine merguez.

I think you're referring to steak hache?

In belgium a baguette with fries and meat in it is called a mitraillette (yes after the gun). But according to our friend wikipedia in the north of france it's called a 'Americain'.

Stopping in at the famed 'Portes aux Circuit' (known to fans the world over simply as 'Janine's') is one of my annual must-do things. Nice bar, nice coffees and I love the paitings and posters on the walls.

[vincegail]

Never been there, but after re-reading Club Arnage Le Mans guide from last year I made a mental note to do that. Would be crawling distance from my tent, so no excuses to not do it!

[Aysedasi]

Remind me, where is that? (Not your tent - the Portes aux Circuit'.... ).

[vincegail]

Exit the main entrance, go to the right, under the viaduct and then a few hundred metres further on your right.

[Aysedasi]

Yep, I know it. It sits just around the corner from the very bottom of the garage rouge? I've walked passed it a hundred times, but strangely enough, I've never been inside......

[GT6]

Same here been passed it numerous times but never been in

[GT6]

Just had the first BBQ this year and opened a 5 litre barrel of pelforth blonde i found in the shed a little past it's sell by date but still bought back memories

[Aysedasi]

I hope you didn't overcook those merguez now Simon........?

Now, if he'd said M&S or Waitrose, you'd have ribbed him for being 'toffy' with his food!

Of course

[GT6]

I like tesco finest sausages especially the bramley apple ones

[Steptoe]

Agree with Tescos finest but you have to go for pork & leek. Yummy

Sad face - no sausages in the house to go with a big breakfast!!

Will have a wander up to the Portes aux circuit too, again, driven by lots but never gone in.

Ah !! Aux Portes .... That's Jeanine's Bar http://www.ouest-france.fr/actu/actu...actuLocale.Htm
A crowd of us always meet there on the Thursday before the 24 Hours.
I don't think you'll get an English sausage there, though

"À 59 ans, Jeanine ne pense pas Ã* la retraite, ça ne lui effleure même pas l'esprit « Sans mon bar, je ne sais rien faire. C'est toute ma vie. Je prendrai ma retraite quand Monsieur Pescaloro arrêtera. Le Mans sans Monsieur Pescarolo, ça ressemblerait Ã* rien », confie sa plus fidèle groupie !"

She might not be there much longer?
