This morning, Kirsty and Richard came to cook at
Cuisine de Provence and we came to talking about her aunt who finds it absolutely impossible to find a cream in France that transforms into whipped cream. I would like to dedicate this post to Kirsty's aunt who lives in Dordogne, although this is a problem not only Kirsty's aunt, but lots of other expats have long been fighting with. France - the land of milk and creams - but did you ever try to make a somewhat decent whipped cream here? I went through years of frustrating results until, by trial and error, I found this:
This, dear reader, is the one and only cream in France that gives you real good, oldfashioned whipped cream! And if Super U ever decides not to sell it anymore I might just contemplate to - no, not to leave France, but probably to never eat whipped cream again....
And just so you know what you have to look for, here is the bottle in all it's glory:
So now dear expats, no more excuse to use the frankly revolting cream from spray cans: go and have yourself a real lovely whipped cream feast! And greetings to Kirsty's aunt in Dordogne!
