Burgoo

Gâteau à la chataîgne : le Burgou

Le Burgou est un gâteau artisanal composé de sucre, de beurre et de châtaigne, le tout décoré d’une feuille de châtaignier. Sa conservation est optimale, c’est donc un excellent gâteau de voyage.

Le « Burgou » vient du nom d’un bandit de grands chemins qui vivait dans la région et qui volait aux riches pour donner aux pauvres au 17ème siècle. Aujourd’hui il est vendu avec un petit livret racontant la légende du Vidocq limousin, et listant les 22 artisans pâtissiers qui le fabriquent.

This is particularly true of Diether's character, who starts off as a buffoon, wolfing down food at a party like a squirrel and even wrapping up some for himself to eat at home. This is an "entertaining" introduction for his character, but it also makes it difficult for viewers to take him seriously later in the film.
