Sure looked like it.<br /><br />Can anything be better than chestnut soup? Yes...if you add lentils! Wow, Deana. This is some recipe. I love the chunks of croutons, duck and fois gras in the bottom, as though they are the main event, while I think it's the soup that would do me in. But served together, I am drooling. I always use the French green lentils and have some in my pantry right now.<br /><br />I've made a chestnut ice cream served with bittersweet chocolate...divine.<br /><br />One of my favorite French blogs recently had a recipe using chestnut creme. That was new to me (it was a dessert) and I looked it up to see where I could get some. Was surprised to find Amazon had some sources. I really would like to try it in something. You can probably find it in NYC easily.<br /><br />Lovely post!Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10038190964528332030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778626287556834261.post-11537345774192627312011-01-25T06:14:15.691-08:002011-01-25T06:14:15.691-08:00Thanks for the magical journey through such gorgeo...Thanks for the magical journey through such gorgeous photos - we sure could use a break right now from the snow!

(Incidentally, Volvic mineral water also comes from this same region.) Am wildly impressed by the soup. Any inclusion of foie gras (whether from D'Artagnan, Israel or Romania!) deserves a hurrah but making it work in a soup is spectacular indeed! I loved the inclusion of Lascaux - one of my all-time favourite "attractions".Jonnyhttp://weareneverfull.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778626287556834261.post-23473136976238372372011-01-25T05:04:06.508-08:002011-01-25T05:04:06.508-08:00Thank you for sharing the beauty you know -- readi...Thank you for sharing the beauty you know -- reading this has been like tapping back into childhood legends and fairy stories with all these rich and strange details, only about the real world, accompanied by music and taste and history.
