CULINARY TOUR DE FRANCE – BRITTANY
Oh, I love so much this part of France where my nounou was from! Britain during Roman’s time called Britannia, was in fact England around the 1st century. The name passed with the insular Britons who emigrated to the continent. In the V th and the VII th century, the peninsula was named Armorique (Armorica which means “country facing the sea”). Little Brittany , as it used to be sometimes called, became one of the main provinces of ancient France.
Brittany is obviously, synonymous with menhirs, these monuments, which appear in the second part of the Neolithic, provide strangely, very little information about their function. Could they be related to the astral system? linked to the funeral? We are still looking for who might provide an answer…
The far is mentioned from the 18th century. Originally, it was designed for religious holidays and family celebrations. “Far” in Latin means “wheat, porridge”. The most famous recipe is the one with prunes.
