I loved this post, Sophie. It gives me some insight into restaurant reviewing that I did not know about. I did see Ratatouille, and wondered about that food critic. I guess those guys really do exist, huh? I'm also very sorry to see the rest of the diners treated so shabbily in order to cater to the critic. Just goes to show that one cannot always rely on a critic's review. There's no substitute for personal experience.

Hi!

Hmmm... you missed another country... Malaysia. sur La Table du thé (1)

Hmmm... you missed another country... Malaysia. Where we also have our own tea plantation @ Cameron Highlands if you are interested in English/European style of tea. Example> http://www.boh.com.my/
Also, there's chinese tea drinkers in Malaysia particularly in Kuala Lumpur and Penang. Couple of times a year there would be Tea Exhibition in Kuala Lumpur where Chinese Tea importers and Exporters would be gathering. Not forgetting Yixing teapot exhibitions... I'm also collector of Yixing teapots and tea... :-) Salut SFong

Ooooooo I was there in January 2007 :-) I had to sur The Athens meat market

Ooooooo I was there in January 2007 :-) I had to check my photos I took if there's glass partitions because I took so many pictures that I can't recalled all... I only vaguely remember that they do wear white hats or caps. What I do know was it's one of my favorite place to capture the essence of Athinians besides the spice street. Also, directly in front of the market is the vegetable & fruit street..those gorgeous olives, fruits, chestnuts, dried sausages..and Feta by the barrels!!! yummy...

Hurray! Everything in English! I think you had sur The Athens meat market

Hurray! Everything in English! I think you had better go check out that tavern again, Sophie! Looks incredible. Saw your new book on Pim's dining room table the other day. It's gorgeous! I am running straight over to Amazon to buy it. And I don't even speak French! The pictures are each worth a thousand words.

Thanks Ptipois for this wonderful post. This is what I love about great food blogging: information about a wonderful product, lovingly produced and not necessarily trendy, but something that is just of good quality. I must admit sometimes I'm taken in by fancy stores and packaging and hype, but it's good to be reminded that this is what good food is all about.

Thanks Jinhua! Your appraisal means a lot to me.
The world does, indeed, still have quite a few people who produce such great stuff. Next time you're in France, do let me know, so I can give you instructions for getting this butter at the farm.

I so enjoyed your article "Working for Butter." It is comforting to know that the world still has people who are willing to produce a product such as this. As a lover of butter, I regret that the odds of my tasting some of this wonderful product are slim, until I can again make the journey to the farm from my Manhattan home. Thank you for taking me there vicariously.

Ptipois — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 08:23:27 GMT

Hi!
First of all I'm thinking hyssop. It makes beautiful, thick hedges that you can trim, and the bright blue color of the flowers is amazing. You may also try some bushy types of sage, lavender, a few box bushes for the smell in Summer and because they look good in a maze.

that was a beautiful post and i am glad you are sur Après le whooping cough

that was a beautiful post and i am glad you are fine now...
just a couple of days ago, i was thinking of designing a herb maze garden or a herby labyrinth...only that means that i need hedge like plants. only rosemary came to my mind. maybe i can combine herbs with flowering plants. i am going for height and fragrance here...i have since changed the plan a couple of times..got any suggestions for a herb hedge maze?..:)
