258 people attended the meal for seniors from L'Aigle (Orne), Sunday November 17 at the Jacques-Michaux room. around the deans Suzanne Moiteaux et André Crestaux95 and 93 years old. They were surrounded by local elected officials, Philippe Van-Hoorne maire, Nathalie Lenôtre deputy in charge of social affairs, and the deputy Véronique Louwagie.

Crime of lese majeste

The caterer, accustomed to this type of feast, had cooked a scallop, duck breast and a vanilla caramel Lichou. Tasty dishes, but the traditional trou Normand is always welcome to facilitate digestion.

Except that, crime lèse majesté, this Norman hole was only a scoop of vanilla ice cream, without the slightest drop of calvados. The blood of the Aiglons, keen on unavoidable local habits, only ran one round and the riot smouldered, before a guest went looking for a famous old reserve.

This is what the real Norman hole is

The diplomatic incident, the napkin throwing and the fork duels were narrowly avoided. This is where we see the degree (Editor's note, around forty to be precise) of attachment of our elders to this taste bud enhancer.

Because the Normandy hole is not just a bistro where Bourvil and Brigitte Bardot turned. It is above all a gastronomic custom from Normandy which, at the time of long feasts, allows the stomach to be prepared for what comes next. For the most fragile, we accompany it with a scoop of apple ice cream. An ice cream alone is called an ice cream, not a Norman hole.
