HERCULE POIROT
in The Ardennes
Hercule Poirot, the famous Belgian detective created by Agatha Christie, is known for his meticulous nature, sharp intellect, and distinct personality traits, one of which is his love for food. Poirot’s gastronomic preferences are a significant aspect of his character, particularly his fondness for the cuisine of his native Belgium, including the food of the Ardennes region.
His love for the food from this region is often depicted in Christie’s novels, where Poirot is seen indulging in traditional Belgian dishes. The food of the Ardennes typically includes game meats, such as wild boar, and other rich, flavorful dishes like pâtés, terrines, and hearty stews, all of which Poirot enjoys.
