I'll come wednesday a few days in Bretagne, about 120km from Brest,  for a "family fiesta".

(Probably no connections with the forums)

I"ll back with you, sunday evening.

Good luck to Allianza

Have fun, and enjoy some fine cuisine on behalf of your allies.

Recipe from Jacques Pepin no less...

I see nothing wrong with snails and goose liver pate - highly edible, if I may say so, especially if with lavish garlic topping!

Hi Guys, I'm back

Snails...  certainly not, I hate snails & oysters too.  ;D

We eat very fine cuisine.
Pork & beef with very fine sauce.
The last meal was in a castle (3 stars in the classement).
Rabbit stuff with truffles was absolutly delicious    :D

Now that's good eats. Maybe if Maddox ever succeeds in persuading me to make a trip to the Continent, you'll have to tell me where that place is so I can try it.

And I had excellent pork in a sauce this weekend too, but it was the pulled pork variety out of the crock pot (mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm).

That looks really good Jef.

For a "hours d"oevre".


It's my only gripe with modern French cuisine. Most chefs- in restaurants I visited- that promote the Nouvelle Cuisine, have studied in Ethiopia or so, because, even the most beautifully decorated plate won't satisfy my Burgundian heritage as a Flamand.

I am right now in San Diego, CA, on a trip conference paid by the US taxpayer University of Nevada, Reno.

So I am going to visit CV-41 USS Midway and a few century-old sailing ships  ;D 8) :P.

About culinary marvels, ask later.

Ahoj!
Jeftge - I hope you only ate the succulent meat in cream sauce! The alien life forms in the top of the picture surely are NOT edible!?!
