Il est assez excitant ce coin, loin par-dessus les dernières effluves de cigare de W. Churchill. Une ambiance de village de montagne constamment sur son 31, avec sa flopée de tavernes. Je me demandais en arrivant pourquoi les gens à Madeira étaient si gros. Je me le demandais moins en sortant. De la bidoche qui pend au bout d'une épée par-dessus les tables, des patates frites, de la polenta frite et puis, pas de légume. Le gars m'a dévisagé quand je lui ai demandé ce qui était possible pour un non mangeur de bidoche. On m'a rarement regardé comme ça, comme un cochon velu habillé en bas resille qui demande la plus grande suite au Martinez. Même dans les restos où on sert que du spare-ribs à volonté, on m'a proposé de quoi brouter un moment (le temps que, gavé, je débarrasse le plancher). Mais ici, il me regardait en me dévisageant. Que veut-il ? Qu'espère-t-il ? Que cherche-t-il ? Je lui aurais demandé du gorille boucané, il aurait pas eu un air si égaré. Une ambiance de taverne du moyen-âge, avec de la poncha qui nettoie les tuyaux, avec des murs en crépit blanc, des lustres de bois et des sangliers qui passent sur des plateaux gigantesques. La vie, la vraie, la rustique, la terroir et les thromboses à 52 ans.
