The cuisines of the two areas are equally far apart. Flanders’ rich, slow cooked foods, are usually cooked in covered pots. Corsica – an island – is fresh, light, and quickly seared.Geographically isolated, the former region is limited to mackerel and herring. Corsica on the other hand – surrounded by water – is known for countless fish.
The mountainous northern land does however, provide fantastic grazers. Sheep, pig, dairy and beef cattle can be found on every street corner. Poor weather, like neighboring Alsace, also restricts crop growth. Don’t bother looking for anything beyond potatoes, cabbage, hops, or beets when farmer’s market shopping.
On the contrary. The islanders of the south can’t claim and livestock other than pork. But they can boast the seemingly endless supply of zucchini, eggplant, artichokes, mushrooms, cherries, chestnuts, pears, tomatoes, oranges, lemons and limes.
As mentioned before, lots of livestock produces lots of cheese. Flanders is home to some of France’s strongest cheeses – Vieux-Lille, Maroilles, and Dauphin. Sad Corsica barely produces and ewe’s milk cheese, Broccio.
Wine is not non-mentionable in both regions. But strong berry growth of Corsica helps to support myrtle liqueur production.
It goes without saying that if you’re one that seeks out touristy lands with warm sunshine filled beaches, then Corsica is your destination. If. However. You travel by the seat of your carnivore stomach, then Flanders is more likely your choice.
