Beaujolais Nouveau et des cèpes

















As each and every year, the last 5 years, we buy a bottle of Beaujolais Nouveau in november and this year is no exception.
The bottle above is ours but we were invited to eat a 'raclette' at my parents-in-law and there we drank two variants of Beaujolais, each one with their own characteristics.

The mushrooms above - called cèpes in French - were found by my father-in-law when he, together with some friends, went for a 'mushroom-picking-day'. They are big as you can see!
Last year a couple of them weighed 1,3 kg each!
Altogether my father-in-law picked around 30 kg and the whole group of maybe ten persons, around 300 kg!

Bon appétit!
