Cervelle de canut

Cervelle de canut (French pronunciation: [sɛʁvɛl kany]) is a cheese spread or dip that is a specialty of Lyon, France.

The dish is a base of fromage blanc, seasoned with chopped herbs, shallots, salt, pepper, olive oil and vinegar. Its name literally means "silk worker's brain", after the canuts, the silk workers of 19th-century Lyon. Its name is thought to reflect the low opinion Lyon's affluent had of the weavers.
