Ancient France's Provinces Survivor - Normandie ! BBF commits suicide

[Edu]

Eliminate Guyenne
Normandie for Survivor

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Just to finish on Bordeaux, the architecture of the XXth century isn't better (Meriadek!), and the Cathedrale Saint-André didn't let me a great memory compared to others, but not all is negative there for me, beside the 'Pont de Pierre' the other thing I like there is the train station Saint-Jean, one of those I prefer.

Sometimes, I'm really tempted to cheat in those STUPID games !!!!
You were right, Hash !!!!!
*outrageous scream*
*Deanesque scream*

Guyenne lost on the last step and, what is more, in atie...
This is really a bad day: Tal is ousted in Chess champions survivor, and now Guyenne is beaten: I've begun to really believe it could prevail...




Hail for this fat region !
Hail for the Vikings !

Damn, for once I agree with Fab !

There's something wrong there...

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Nah everything is as fine as Normandy. 2 lions beat one. Everything is normal.

Oh, and why fat?

[big bad fab]

Cream and butter from everywhere, but especially from Isigny (et les caramels, d'ailleurs !).
Cheeses from Livarot, Pont-l'Evêque, Camembert, Neufchâtel.
"Fat" grass and soils.
"Real" cows.

These are the reasons why I prefer Normandie to Bretagne (sorry, Hash ): in Normandie, they know how to eat...
But of course, as for drinking, Guyenne is still the best

[big bad fab]

BTW, I'll soon begin a French big cities survivor.

I should have thought about all these creamy things, indeed.

Well, what are Bretagne's arguments? Some fine terrines, galettes, far au pruneau (hmm, I can't think of something else right now), but they have a major minus: salted butter!

Then yeah, Normandie would easily win this fight.

And anyhow Guyenne would easily own the 2 others as well in this realm, indeed. The match in France being between Guyenne, Gascogne, and Bourgogne.

Very fine.

Apparently people have never eaten Kouign amann. Sigh, people have no taste nowadays.

[big bad fab]

Sorry, but I don't like it. Quite common...

One of the biggest pastries is Paris-Brest, but, of course, it's from Ile-de-France...

The biggest pastry ever is the cannelé bordelais (and it's really not out of parochialism)...

Damn it. I really don't want to be all negative about Bordeaux, but I tasted once, and in Bordeaux! In the Sant-Christoly mall, and really, wasn't much great, slightly dry, not much taste, and expensive!

I prefer Paris-Brest.

Oh, in the Saint-Christoly mall, everything is bad...
But I've got a recipe (is that the English word for recette ?)by an old baker which is very fine.
And if you tkae out 3 quarters of the rhum which Lenôtre puts in its recipe, it's very fine too.
It should be crunchy on the outside and smooth and a bit fat in the inside...
