Got game? We'll tell you who's got game: the gents over at Fabrique Delices who are delivering the goods when it comes to traditional French charcuterie classics like pate and saucisson. Everything they make is ground and given hands-on attention during every stage of the process' from meat selection to packaging. Their artisanal p't's are made from fresh, coarsely ground meats that are mixed with dried fruits, wine, and nuts, making for a textured, full-flavored mouthful. An excellent companion to any cheese plate, they're at their best with strong cheeses like Scharfe Maxx, Epoisses, and Mahon Curado'don't forget the Moutarde de Dijon and cornichons! For drinks, think big, bold reds.
