Flynn's Delicatessen supper club exploring the cooking of French Canada, with a tourtière pie, pea soup and pouding chômeur.
Flynn's Delicatessen is bringing a taste of Québec to Swansea on Wednesday 11 November, the latest in their Supper Club series. The format is simple: a big kitchen table, no fuss, and a meal that takes you to a different place. This time it's French Canada, and the menu is built around the generous, comforting cooking that comes out of a place shaped by long winters and French traditions. They've made a point of steering clear of the lumberjack clichés and the maple syrup poured over everything, so you'll get the real thing rather than the postcard version.
It's a four-course meal that runs from warm Québec-style beer and rye bread to a French-Canadian yellow pea soup. The main is a traditional beef and pork tourtière pie served with poutine, seasonal greens and mushroom gravy, with a mushroom, lentil and chestnut tourtière pie as a vegetarian alternative. Pouding chômeur—the classic 'unemployed man's pudding'—rounds it off. If you're not a meat eater, the vegetarian pie means you're still in for the full four courses rather than a side dish.
Beyond the Supper Club, Flynn's runs a regular programme of small, hands-on courses in butchery, charcuterie, sausage making, cheese making, pasta from scratch, whole-animal butchery and wine tasting, so the kitchen is well-used for more than just the deli counter. This is one of those nights where the focus is on the food and the company, sitting around a single table rather than separate ones.
