Is it only me that reads GM Crepes as General Motors Crepes?

GT6 · 27 Feb 2014, 19:26 (Ref:3372882)

Wrong GM, Grand Marnier is and orange liqueur

Tartiflette is not a local recipe. The Tartiflette comes from the mountains' region. Potatoes, bacon, Reblochon, Onions and white wine from the Alpes called Apremont.

Once I tasted the one sold at the circuit. No thanks anymore............

I am not a cookery show watcher on the TV per se, but there are some of the TV cooks I like very much. Nigella Lawson I could watch any time, but that might have not something to do with her cookery

Raymond Blanc is one of my few favourites too and I remember him making a tartiflette once. Looked very delicious!

What not to like?
-potatoes mmmmm nice
-lardons mmmmm nice
-bacon mmmmm nice
-cream mmmmm nice
-smelly cheese mmmmm nice

Edit: white wine!!! mmmmm nice

But Eric you can always pop home and the wife will have a nice hot meal ready, we have the choice of going back to the campsite and cooking or buy something at the circuit outlets and the choice is limited

You're right Simon. I understand you because so close I am to home, I don't go back home during the week-end and I know I "buy something at the circuit outlets and the choice is limited". That was only to say this recipe is a very nice one when "the wife will have a nice hot meal ready" But the one I could taste was very acid.

Well if we can get you into the campsite again i am sure Helen Ian and i will be able to give you a hot meal

I'm sure we'll manage by hook or crook and avoid having to recourse to the French equivalent of the Findus Crispy Pancake...

Hmm just drink the wine dad buys and you will never know what you had!

But tartiflette always looks so...... flabby and anaemic at the track - nothing like that first picture......
