Chickens with a red comb, white plumage and - attention! - blue feet. The colors of the tricolor. And uniquely strong thighs that form the basis for one of my favorite dishes for a reason: chicken de bresse with Vin Jane sauce and morels, ie "blue footed chickens" on a cream sauce of yellow Jura wine and morels. For this alone, every trip to this part of Burgundy, which is rather unknown in Germany, is worthwhile.
