Sad to say trip is over now! Really great trip. Food and wine very diverse depending upon location in country. Will post some interesting pairings later.



I loved a fresh fruits that were soaked in brandy(eau de viex)... Was some sort of green plum, cherry, apricot...whole fruits...the manager chef said soaked for 2 months of thereabouts. Simply amazing.



Sounds like "Confiture de vieux garçon". Easy to make - just ~equal weights of sugar and fruit put in a large jar and covered with alcohol. Graham
