Rick Steves, blogging from Burgundy, meets up with the Snail Lady. Looks suspiciously like the Ham Lady to me. Her name's Anne Marie Penaud, and she runs a charcuterie in Beaune.

Ya think Rick reads Cornichon?
UPDATE: Now also in the Seattle Times under the heading "The Finicky Virtues of the French." (That last part doesn't sound like Rick.)
