Who likes garlic? Scenes from the Pink Garlic Festival of Lautrec 2022

5/8/2022

​Even if you share Her Majesty the Queen’s distaste for garlic, there is plenty more to savour at Lautrec’s pink garlic festival today and tomorrow (5 & 6 August).

By the time you read this, you will be too late for free garlic soup this Friday lunchtime, but the same dish will be on offer again tomorrow.
​If you cannot make either day, you will find the festival’s traditional recipe, other garlic-related recipes (including one from M. Toulouse-Lautrec) and much more about the past and present of this unique pink garlic in my book ‘Menu from the Midi’.
Meanwhile, enjoy a few pictures of this morning’s parade. Guess which worshipful company was bringing up the rear? The Brotherhood of Snail Producers!
