WF SETE 08 - THE AFTERMATH
9.25am Monday - RyanAir back to Stanstead. Tired but still buzzing. It all started last Wednesday - early St Pancras to Paris and down super fast to Sete - 320 kmh - very impressive - apparently (according to Matsuura san) the new magnetic bullet train will beat the SNCF's finest!
SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!
The WF Team would like to say a big thank you to all the people & artists who made it to the WF SETE O8. You all contributed in making it the best ever WF.
Discuss future, past & present Worldwide Festivals with WF like minded people. Check out the WF Sete 08 photo gallery here.
Tielle: Octopus Pie from Sète
The fishing of octopus has always been a secondary activity on the Golfe du Lion where Sète is a small but important port. We know that octopus was caught on this coast and shipped to Toulouse in the fourteenth century. There are a few existant octopus recipes from the Middle Ages, and one is an octopus stuffed with mint, parsley, and other herbs found in the anonymous fourteenth-century Catalan cookbook Libre de sent sovì.
