cooperlola Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 You can get them on Amazon UK but try as I might I can't find them here.http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_1_6?url=search-alias%3Dkitchen&field-keywords=demijohn&sprefix=demijo I think this is because I'm mis-translating the word. Anybody got any closer than Damme-jeanne (which I think is its etymology but possibly not the correct term these days?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pretty sure that my wrong translation was messing up my search! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pachapapa Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Dont know why it is masculine in english....john. But for the rest of the world it is feminine....dama-juana; dame-jeanne, etc.Perhaps an allusion to beer gut.http://www.google.fr/search?hl=fr&source=hp&q=dame-jeanne&btnG=Recherche+Google&aq=f&aqi=g2&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
