Snapper Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Yep - I did and I knew I'd spelled it wrongly but couldn't for the life of me think how to correct it. I have got a CSE in French, y'know. I'm not telling you the grade. Mussels are Ok, and I have tried snails in Normandy..not to be repeated. Scallops and herrings will always do for me...and there is still nothing wrong with a dollop of prawn cocktail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 No I agree with Snapper, but I like them with just a litle cream sauce. :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Belgian colleague got me to try Moules et Frittes back in 1986 - NEVER again!!!!! :shake: :shake: :shake: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I've got to say I always go for a flammerkirsch in northern France. Great with a beer or any cold drink if you do not imbibe. Frites and a salad optional. M - (making do with a tuna salad baguette and a packet of salt and vinegar crisps today). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Never heard of that - although the name suggests it's got Kirsch in it???? And I had to make do with tuna mayo banjo's and a mug of coffee today!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 My spelling will be wrong. It's a Flanders style of 'pizza' made without tomatoes and pretty much always with a base of thinly sliced potatoes and onions with creme freche on it. They then add bacon 'lardons' or a couple of other things. Very traditional and on a battlefield touring trip it is a real filler. Sleep in the car on the way home as long as you aren't driving...
