The local sausage is called Toulousain and it comes in continuous lengths. You cook it in a spiral.

When you collect eggs from hens in a barnyard, they come in different sizes. [Note the archaic microwave in the background.]

    Otto is living the boyhood dream there. Operating a real excavator while wearing your dinosaur pajamas.
