Dog Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Not only could my poor addled brain remember what celiriac was but I didn't know bette had alternative spellings. The Italian stuff has a different name too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchie Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Where I come from ( region PACA) , blettes are cut in small square pieces, boiled, then we add sauce béchamel .I love this to bits. I use the green in omelettes , it s a bit like oseille. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Que vous êtes bettes !J-P just told me someone said it was on the news recently that a Vietnamese restaurant in or near Limoges was closed as they found forty skinned dogs in the cold room. So if you want to know where your food comes from!The Vietnamese Panga fish was only 4.30 euros a kilo today at Leclerc. I wouldn't have it if they were giving it away.

Christine Animal Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 It would be far easier for them to get dogs. A lot are stolen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchie Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Couldn't find the info on Google, but of course I believe in what yu say Christine.But be careful not to accuse Vietnamese restos in general, I believe the immense majority are clean and don't have such practices...

Dog Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Last year in Spain we stopped at a small bar eaterie and the owner was taking a stick to a young Alsatian. It turned out he was Korean and spoke good English, he had lived in Aregentina then Germany & Belgium and then bought the place in Spain.I asked him to leave the dog alone and jokingly asked why he was treating his food so badly - he replied that the Koreans only ate red dogs.I left it at that as it turned out he was 7th Dan Taekido and as I only do Ekki Thump and my motorcycling mate who is 6th Dan wasn't there I called it a day.
