The World Championship of Pâté en Croute just announced first prize...and it looks delicious. Entries were genuinely from around the world, with some brilliant offerings from Japan, but the winner Thibault Gonzales comes from Thuir, in the Pyrenees Orientales, near me.

An honour to talk to @emmaandersonmusic.bsky.social for #FirstLastAnything. Includes a terrific playlist too.
