This image depicts an outdoor stall in Saumur, France, featuring a historical peanut roaster
This image depicts an outdoor stall in Saumur, France, featuring a historical peanut roaster. The stall is covered by a wooden structure with a white tarp. A sign with the text "L'AMIE CAHUÈTE" is prominently displayed. Another sign, written in white chalk on a black board, describes the "TORRECTEUR" (roaster) as belonging to the seller's great-grandfather. It details that the roaster was powered by a BRUNO engine from 1920 and used to roast barley to make a beverage called "MALT" to replace coffee after World War II. The text also explains that "roasted peanut" ("racahide") gives off a naturally unique taste of authentic grilled flavor. In the foreground, several wooden crates are stacked, and a metal bucket sits on the ground. A plant with pink flowers in a clay pot is also visible on a wooden platform. In the background, a person is seated near the roaster. The overall environment appears to be a market or fairground, given the stalls and outdoor setting. The weather appears to be overcast.
