The remote region of Gascony in southwestern France has an imaginative rustic cuisine that relies heavily on game, pork, cornmeal, potatoes, and other vegetables. Most of the characteristic salads are basic types that include one or two ingredients and are well flavored with a garlic oil and vinegar dressing. Serve as an accompaniment for game or meat.
