COUCHSURFING CHEZ LES LÉONARDS !

CLEDER (France)
 Thank you to Anavari and Jean Michel for welcoming us into their beautiful sweet home, 
 typical farmhouse at North Finistère in Brittany where was also 3 lovelies kitten !
We met Anavari and her husband, professor of english then breton, active retired
and met Fanch, talented local poet french and breton !

Near the house, fields of artichokes !

Variety "Small purple"
(originating in the Mediterranean region).
But you should know that the artichoke
"Camus de Bretagne"
is the traditional variety of Leon !

             Near house : a shallots field hand planted !

There I created an experimental recipe from "gooseberries"

• 250 g strawberries from Plougastel
• 2 spoonful soup red wine
• 200 g gooseberries
• 2 large fresh mint leaves chopped
• Sweeten to taste - Marinate in refrigerator for ½ hour
• Serve chilled ! 

Later, we saw gooseberries for sale in a farm shop for £ 4 for 

1 kg ! Good information for the wholesale producer Breton CS !
