Plural: agneaux de pré-salé
Language: French
Description: Agneau de pré-salé is lamb pastured in salt marshes washed by the sea in the immediate vicinity of Mont St-Michel. The meat is always served young and usually roasted. The grazing is said to flavour the meat which is always salty. This occurs because of a wonderful process called “embruns” by which the wind off the sea blows droplets of salt water onto the grass.
