Cretes de Coq
Cockscombs are the
red fleshy crests that grow on the top of a domestic cocks head, the
word is derived from the old French word 'caruncle' meaning 'flesh'.  Cretes de Coq are a delicacy in France, the dish
consists of cockscombs stewed in lemon juice and butter. They are
prepared by first steeping them in cold water, then heated just enough
to allow the skin to be removed. They are then steeped in ice cold water until the blood has completely drained. Next they are gently heated in a
pan with butter, lemon juice and cracked black pepper before being
stewed gently for around 20 minutes. Served as required.
