Remarks
To keep to the true Roscoff spirit, you should use Molène sausages, but if you can't get these, another type (preferably smoked) will do the job.
No clarified butter for stage 4? Use a little salted butter or a neutral-flavoured oil (groundnut, sunflower...) instead.

Keeping: Should be eaten the day it is made, or the following day at the latest (because of the mayonnaise)..
