Stuffed Like a Pig

In Portugal Tony visits his boss Jose Meirelles, the owner of Les Halles Brasserie. While there he goes to Jose's family farm, where they've been fattening a pig all year long. They slaughter the pig and a feast of pork ensues. A local even sings a song in honor of the feisty pig. Having had enough port Tony then heads to France. While in the town of Mugron, Tony stops off at a Fois gras farm for more rich delights. Then it's off to meet up with his brother Chris in Arcachon; a seaside town where Tony and Chris spent their summers along with their parents. In Arcachon, at the restaurant Chez Yvette Tony decides he hasn't quite had enough rich foods as of late and orders Tete du veau, veal head. After a few bites, Tony realizes that all the pork, fois gras and veal he's eaten is taking its toll. Tony is fearful of insulting the chef and continues to eat but shortly before falling ill, Tony scoops the remaining veux into a bag. He then compliments the chef and leaves, holding his belly.
