Since this is the land of butter, many of the dishes are served in a rich butter and cream sauce. This is also the region for apple cider and Calvados (apple and pear brandy). There is also a version of “La Captive Poire William” Brandy where a pear is grown into the bottle. The bottle is placed over the pear and it grows inside the bottle.
