Crc97320: I'm sorry, so sorry. I remember that I've put Cassis in the Champagne you've offered to us. Are you still my friend???
SalB/Petite Anglaise: I don't like very much Champagne and when I have to drink Champagne ( birthday, Christmas, New year, etc... or when it's a present like past week with Crc) I use to do a Kir Royal, as LVB. About Crc, he is not a naughty boy, I met him past week and he is very well educated: he even didn't seem bothered with the fact I made a Kir with his Champagne. It seems, reading SalB's post, that he has hidden his feelings. Now, I've to say that in France, as you know, every one is very proud of the specialities of his region. If you say " good Cognac " when I offer you an Armagnac, I'll feel it as an offence. Crc97320 is right when he says there's no Champagne produced out of the Champagne - France. If california want to produce white wine 'pétillant', they can name it as they want, but not Champagne. As Petite Anglaise ( à nous les ... ) said, food is really important to us, and every french I know is proud to show what he knows to do in a kitchen. I'll educate my son in that way, watching very close to his weight, teaching the taste and the flavours, being curious of tasting every thing, but never forgetting the bases of our "culture culinaire". And isn't a man who cook for you, ladies, a very charming boy ;-)???
Petite Anglaise: are you english, scottish, Irish ( I don't think so ) or from wales? Just curious...
