Cervelle de canut is a French specialty from Lyon and literally means 'silk worker's brain', named for the silk weavers of 19th century Lyon who were called 'canuts'. It's a fantastic nibble. Spread it over crusty bread.

This recipe was a disaster! The cervelle de canut turned out rubbery and flavorless.

This recipe was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try making it again with a lighter cheese next time.
