| | As winter days approach, thoughts turn to coq au vin |
 | | There are countless versions of coq au vin, but the original recipe, according to some food historians, dates back to the warring days of the Romans and Gauls. |
 | | Literally translated as "rooster in wine," coq au vin was a dish cooked by the frugal, a simple, though time-consuming, means of using the tough, dried-up rooster that skittered about every French farm once upon a time. |
 | | Store-bought chicken is the main ingredient in coq au vin nowadays, but the full, earthy, slowly developed flavors of the dish are the same as they've always been. |
