Happy New Year everyone and today is a 'Fête Day' here in France. The meaning being a 'Day of Feasting'. Its starting with a giant fruit brioche (Local speciality) for Breakfast followed by home made Tarte Nature (Like a giant custard tart) which leads nicely to the Roast Duck and cranberries with real English type roast potatoes!!. I won't mention the pudding but its huge and made of chocolaty type stuff before the selection of local cheeses and sausages come out. Things lighten up a little then when the hot toasted garlic bread and goats cheese is made and if you feel hungry there is a multitude of light snacks to have whilst it is all being washed down with local wines, d'Artigney (Sparkling wine) and shots of Creme de Cassis.
And..... not a box of Quality Street in sight!!
Bonne appétit!
