>_salted_ butter?? pshaw!

Absolutely. We're unregenerate. We'll use unsalted for most cooking
purposes, but for butter sauces and for eating, there's a long tradition of
excellence in salted butter - especially from Britanny, as you know.

I was a touch disappointed with ours. The meat wasn't as "full" as it should
have been, though the flavour was wonderful.

>What camembert did you get?

An AOC Th. Réaux - Touréaux Fromagerie in the Val d'Ay.

Our route was Limoges - Poitiers - Niort - Nantes - Quimper. So as you said
we kept well to the West.

I've made a mental note where you are and it may well be possible on our way
up to the UK next time.
