One thing's for sure, fish lovers won't be disappointed in Picardie. Sole, shrimp and eel are essential ingredients in many of the region's dishes. For dessert, you will discover a special cheese, whose maturation process is interrupted to flavour it with tarragon and pepper. The "Dessert de Napoleon" is a cake made with pineapple. A chef obsessed with the Napoleon army is also responsible for creating "la confiture de lait" jam (a sweet caramel sauce made with milk and sugar) for which the area is very well-known. Mustard is also a typical product of the region and you will find wine is produced here too, on the border with Champagne.
