On Les 5 du Vin Alexandre Truffer is our third Saturday guest. He explores the origins of the grape variety Humagne here.
Grrrr. I envy you, Senhor Budd, if you’re actually there. Lisboa is one of the cities I prefer, and I haven’t been there for a decade. I keep promising Christine we’ll spend our next holiday in Portugal. (Problem is, we haven’t had holidays for 7 years now.)
ReplyDeleteThe Alfama district was very much in need of renovation and I suppose the job has progressed since then. Do people still resort to public baths and showers, as they usually did ?
Luc. Senhor Budd is certainly in Lisbon.
ReplyDeleteYou know what?
ReplyDeleteThere this wee Portuguese grocer’s in Perpignan. I toddle straight off to treat Christine & myself to a few – deep-frozen – pasteis de nata!
Bonne idée, Luc. I will content myself with a couple of fresh pasteis de Bélem tomorrow.
