Just wanted to take the opportunity to wish everyone on the board a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.Seems appropriate since the world did not end last week 8)
Merry Christmas!In keeping with the spirit of the day, in the General Discussion forum I posted a combination of historical facts surronding the birth of Jesus and some (religious) thoughts about Christ. Again, Merry Christmas to all.
Did you enjoy some cougneau over the past week?
Do you mean "cougnou" ? The "bread of Jesus"?Well yes, it's quite delicious (especially with raisins in it and with a hot chocolate milk)
Yes, that is it. The source where I read about it must have used an awkward spelling. I have never had it myself, but I did find a picture.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Queniole.jpg
Cougnou is a typical product of Belgium (former areas before current borders, sometimes referred as southern Low Countries but this is quite a simplistic way to identify its location), unknown to modern France. It's a similar tradition than the stollen (christmas time) but with different ingredients or recipe.
