Delicatessens and speciality foods



Liverpool is a city magnificent in its stance. It boasts some of the most famous and legendary sons and daughters of our time, as well as a wide variety of stunning architecture and a lively, upbeat city atmosphere. Its streets are buzzing with activity from sun-up, and remain that way until long after sun-down! Amongst its sophisticated culture are some incredibly established bars and restaurants serving everything from humble burgers and chips to delicatessens a la carte. This guide explains in detail the range of exotic delicacies to be found in Liverpool – right down to the most common condiment.

Delicatessen Savouries

Amongst the wide variety of delicatessen savouries is ‘Red Pepper Caviar’. It is a delicacy traditionally prepared in the South of France and is rich in both vitamin C and provitamin A. Deriving from smooth, glossy red peppers; it is a moment of pure pleasure. A slightly less sharp option is ‘Artichoke Caviar’. It is exquisite spread on canapés and gently evokes the passionate aura and excitable accent of Provence. For the more outlandish of you, ‘Courgette And 5 Pepper Chutney’ is an exotic option which will wonderfully spice up sizzling, hot dishes served with basmati or Thai rice. It’s sweet and sour flavour explodes in the mouth, releasing an array of tangy hues. An ideal option for those with a sweet tooth, ‘Fig And Honey Jam’ presents the sweet creaminess of honey and the mysterious zest of the fig, in an unusual intertwined formation to create this perfectly delicate and unique jam. The fig tree was one of the five sacred trees, source of life and knowledge. Centuries of appreciation for the fig make this one-off combination all the more special. Another appealing sweetener is ‘Chestnut Honey’; a powerful and sophisticated honey with a seductive personality. Its full-bodied, evocative flavour blended perfectly with slightly bitter undertones goes well with coffee. A fairly dark coloured honey with a slightly liquid texture – it is well known for improving the circulation.

There are countless more combinations of contrasting flavours and complementary textures, all of which evoke a different sensation and passion. However, in order to list every single one would be impossible as the variety of delicacies is so wide and more and more are being designed every day. More information on such speciality foods as ‘Truffle Mustard’ and ‘Candyfloss Syrup’ can be sought out online.

For more specialised searches, type in the name of the delicatessen you which to search for. For example – type in ‘Almond Flavoured Indian Coffee’ for a search of that particular brand. Or to search the entire coffee group, enter ‘Delicatessen Coffee’ and the complete wide span of original flavours should be searched. You would end up sifting through such aromas as ‘Hazelnut Flavoured Kenya Gallia Coffee’ and ‘Irish Cream Flavoured Huehuetenago Guatemalan Coffee’.

French Gourmet

The French are famous for their exquisite culture, their fine art and their lust for life. Their sophisticated dishes and deep, full-bodied wine, simply oozes class. Their delicacies are as complex for their range of richly refined tastes, as they are simple in their presentation.

‘Escargots De Bourgogne’ (snails) is one of the most celebrated, timeless French delicacies. Served with garlic and butter, it is a very simple speciality dish. An equally famous French luxury is ‘Terrine Of Grenouille’ (frog). The traditional way of serving frog, is to blend it into a smooth paste with garlic and herbs and serve on a warm baguette as a small meal, or on toast as an aperitif, served with a glass of dry white wine.

But as well as being famous for their savoury meals, the French create exceptional hand-made chocolates and fondues. Their educated sense of flavour provides the French with a palette of immense variety when choosing superior tastes and aromas for their confectionary. Truffles of every kind – Perigord Winter Truffles, Chinese Truffles, raisons enrobed in alcohol and dark chocolate, dark chocolate fondue praline, white chocolate raspberry fondue – the list is endless!
Across the pond, they have a passion for cheese. Every kind of taste is catered for in a kaleidoscope of pleasures, ranging from the traditional Brie to the more exotic Chabichou Du Poitou. Goat’s cheese is very popular in France, from Moulis to Truffe De Valensale – it’s all there. So get down to your local French gourmet outlet and sample some Bleu Des Causses!
