Silk Weaver's Brain: What's in a Name?
Friday August 29, 2008

This silk weaver’s brain recipe, also known as cervelle de canut, is an herbed cheese and vinegar spread. It is named for the silk workers of Lyon in the mid-18oo’s; some say it is a tribute, others, an insult. No matter what the true origin of the offbeat name, it is a fantastic appetizer. Who can resist creamy seasoned cheese, accented with shallots, garlic, and herbs, spread onto fresh, warm croûtes.
