Re: Creme de Châtaigne
There was me thinking that Poutine the Russian fellow had invented some culinary delight while in Normandie....
I should think you would need a strong digestif pur to digest that Quebec dish!

The Quebecois normally consume it with a rather disgusting brew from Labatt known locally as Cinquante.

Re: Creme de Châtaigne
Nicely summed up
.Back on topic: I was taught, a long time ago, that a Kir Royal = Crème de Cassis + Champagne; a Kir Normand = Crème de Cassis + Cidre.
I can think of several ways to consume Crème de Châtaigne. Drinking it ain't one of 'em....

Re: Creme de Châtaigne
It turns out that the "proper" ratio is 25% Cassis.
Who knew?

I'm of the few drops then bubbles school-of-thought.
My sister swears by the 1/4 ratio. Pouff
!!Mind you, she'd probably drink Crème de Châtaigne too.
