[Mayon]

Normandy is famous for its dairy products like cheese and butter. Cheeses like Camembert and Brie which come from Normandy are the French cheeses that are eaten most all over the world. The area also has some delicious local and not so well known cheeses for the ones who want to try something new. The staple food is seafood such as mussels, scallops, lobsters, and mackerel which is plentiful. Specialites include tripes à la mode de Caen, andouilles and andouillettes sausages, salt meadow lamb, and teurgoule which is a spiced rice pudding. The noted Normandy cows produce the renowned Camembert and Pont l'Evêque, and although no wine is produced here, the region is known for Bénédictine which is a sugary liqueur created by monks in Fécamp.
