ALL THINGS FRENCH

So I thought I'd write about the good french things as my blog has been somewhat negative over the past week. 

CAMEMBERT has a smell to make you turn your entire fridge out and check what the problem is but boy is it good.  My latest find is Les Rustique which I love, a lot stronger than most. I think I bought it because it was wrapped in gingham red and looked more French bistro type.   Morbier another of my favourites is even smellier, made with raw milk and has a thin layer of blue running through the middle.  Then there is Tomme, not my favourite although Benjamin and Manu love it.  This is typically made here in the alps and is a hard cheese with a mild flavour.





Morbier as made by a friend of the Guillet's - they have a dairy farm - it was a good lunch as you can see.

LADYBUGS LADYBUGS.....I got these for the boys for Christmas and they actually come from Switzerland not France but the packaging is just the best.  Filled with little ladybirds that are delicious to boot.






FRUIT Compotes are another of my favourite, they are packaged like yoghurts so it doesn't look like babyfood which is literally is.  Just a bunch of fruit pureed, very yummy though.




LONG LIFE milk and cream here just doesn't taste long life, even my folks were fooled.  The other thing is the sugar which comes in these cool containers easy to use and even have a cool measure on the side.




CHOCOLATE BREAD AND BUTTER PUD, yum, Benjamin and I made this today with a whole bunch of Chocolate Croissants I had stashed in the freezer.  Posted recipe on the pages side.


Before cooking it - it was delicious

MUSTARD ........ here in France is delicious and the one I buy comes in these cute glasses which get washed afterwards and used for the kids, they always have smurfs, toy story or various other pics for kids on and of course it all depends on which child comes shopping with me.
