poetry for my stomach

My “honey” with chestnuts will not come for Christmas,
It’s life, you have to enjoy yourself anyway
once a year, 

New Year’s menu to enjoy at the time you like,

Foie gras with a glass of Monbazillac,
Snails with butter,
Scallop shell with lemon-white butter
Short break

Quail with hot mango
and hazelnut potatoes,

Maybe cheese with the tour des grands ducs  (local wine)

Then the dessert
Traditional bûche de Noël


You are all welcome 
No need to be a millionaire even at Christmas

Merry Christmas ou Joyeux Noël



Ma « dinde » aux marrons ne sera pas pour Noël,
C’est la vie, il faut se faire plaisir quand même
une fois dans l’année, 

menu du réveillon à déguster à l’heure qu’il vous plaît,

Foie gras avec un petit verre de Monbazillac,
Escargots au beurre persillé,
coquille Saint jacques au beurre blanc citronné
Petite pause,

Cailles accompagnés de mangue chaude
et de pommes noisette,

Peut être du fromage avec la tournée des grands ducs ( vin local)

Puis le dessert
Bûche de Noël traditionnelle,


Vous êtes tous invités
Pas besoin d’être millionnaire même à Noël

Joyeux Noël

I won't miss chestnuts. I used to cook them for my mother—God rest her soul. Your menu seems quite delicious, though I would prefer some dry Chateau. Your choice, Monbazillac, is too sweet for me. Merry Christmas.
