A LA CASSEROLE!

Without making any restaurant recommendations, we're featuring today this unusual ensign in the old city center of Boulogne-sur-Mer.  The "belle barbue" above is a flat fish resembling a turbot; the barbue is considered to be as delectable as the sole.

Vocabulary
une barbue:  a brill (fish)
barbu(e):  bearded

Expression
à la casserole:  braised
passer à la casserole:  to be subjected to a disagreeable trial or test; to submit to a sexual act (slang)
