Only 4 fillings from age 14... Haribo we had and framboise, poire candy. And you forgot the nougat... Or the Côte d'Or chocolate... We also had cinnamon and peppermint cushions that I got at the grocery but did always give away to my siblings at home.

I knew the French and the Brits had a lot more in common than an underwater tunnel and the Hundred Years' War :-) Glad you enjoyed "Mistral Gagnant." - -I have been watching old Renaud songs on YouTube this week and realized how much I still like his music. Do you remember the great song he wrote about women where he totally CREAMED Margaret Thatcher, the former British Prime Minister? :-) French Girl in Seattlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14347995356689205203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006333401398843901.post-7514541834420035732013-02-08T05:21:54.558-08:002013-02-08T05:21:54.558-08:00Candy necklaces!!!

In the North of England we often called liquorice 'Spanish' - I'm not sure why! Maybe because liquorice was imported from Spain or I've heard that Spanish monks in Yorkshire (our neighbouring county) cultivated liquorice root! As soon as I saw those Carambars I was transported back to France! I always bring some back to England with me! The Renaud song is so touching and so very appropriate for this nostalgic post.
