Section One - Part F Un
Virelangue
Let's learn a tongue twister. These all have
to do with food. Listen carefully to each one.
- Des blancs pains, des bancs
peints, des bains pleins.
- Poisson sans boisson, c'est
poison !
- Ce goulu a voulu tout ce
qu'il a vu sur le menu.
Listen to them several times and then choose one to memorize. When you
feel confident with it, record yourself and submit it to your teacher
for grading. Submit for a grade at Speaking 1F. Ce
devoir vaut 12 points.
Can you tell what they mean? It's not the meaning that's important, it's
how it sounds.
- White bread, painted benches, full bathtubs.
- (eating ) Fish without drinking, is poison!
- This glutton wanted everything he saw on the menu.
 No
doubt you've heard of Crêpes Suzette. It's probably the most famous
crepe dish in the world. Interestingly, it was a mistake made by a fourteen
year-old assistant waiter called Henri Carpentier in 189 while he was
working at Monte Carlo's Café de Paris. He was preparing a dessert
for the Prince of Wales, the future King Edward VII (1841-1910) of England.
The waiter made up a name on the spot in honor of the Prince, calling
it Crêpe Princesse (princesse because crèpe
is feminine). Prince Edward decided to name it after a young lady
that was present, whose name was Suzette. That's how it got to be called
Crêpe Suzette.
Ingredients (Makes 8)
For the Pancakes:
125g (4 1/2 oz) plain flour
a pinch of salt
2 large Lion Quality eggs
300ml (1/2 pint) milk
oil for cooking
|
For the orange sauce:
75g (2 3/4oz) butter
75g (2 3/4oz) sugar
grated zest and juice of 2 oranges
2 oranges, peeled and segmented
2 tablespoons orange-flavoured liqueur
1 tablespoon brandy
|
To make the pancakes, sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Make a indentation
in the middle and add the eggs and a little milk. Beat until it forms
a smooth paste, then add the remaining milk. Let stand for 30 minutes.
Heat a little oil in an omelette pan. Pour in 2 tablespoons of batter
and tilt to coat the base evenly. Cook over medium heat for 2 minutes,
turning once until golden on both sides. Keep warm while you make 7 more
pancakes.
For the sauce put the butter, sugar, orange zest and juice into a frying
pan. Heat until bubbling. Dip each crepe in the sauce, fold into quarters
and arrange in a warm serving dish with the orange segments. Pour the
liqueur and brandy into the pan and light with a match. Pour the flaming
sauce over the crepes and serve.
