Title: Re: Narcissus in Vosges Mts. ( France )
Post by: Hans J on May 06, 2008, 06:56:16 AM: Lesley :

it is Fromage Blance ( fresh cheese ) made from cow milk,
pouring with cream , sugar and Kirsch ( Eau de vin from cerise )

.....this is one of the famous desserts of this area !

All this "Ferme's" in the mountains produce "Fromage de Munster" in the summer months -the Framage Blanc is the fresh form of it .

In Bavaria we have a nice proverb :

"Die Berge von unten,
die Kirchen von außen
und die Wirtschaften von innen" ;D

maybe Maggi can translate it .....

David, I would translate Hans' proverb like this:
"The mountains from below
The church from the outside
And the restaurants from the inside"

Thank you for your perfect translation !

Post by: David Nicholson on May 07, 2008, 07:41:45 PM: Thank you Thomas, that's not a bad philosophy for life really, all it lacks is some fine sounding word for Hans' glass of beer! ;D
Title: Re: Narcissus in Vosges Mts. ( France )
Post by: Hans J on May 07, 2008, 07:58:28 PM: David ,

I'm glad that you like my proverb ;D

::) it seems Thomas is knowing also this philosophy.... :o

OK -maybe we could make one day a meeting in the french mountains 8)
Title: Re: Narcissus in Vosges Mts. ( France )
Post by: Lesley Cox on May 07, 2008, 08:42:21 PM: Perhaps you could translate it as -

The mountains to feed the eyes,
the churches to feed the spirit,
and the restaurants to feed the tummy. ;D
Title: Re: Narcissus in Vosges Mts. ( France )
Post by: Hans J on May 07, 2008, 08:49:32 PM: Sorry Lesley ;)

but you are wrong -this is not bavarian style

we prefer more to sit in a restaurant ( and drinking beer ) than to climb on the mountains and to go in the churches :P

ask Otto !!!
