The only one of your words I knew this week was 'eclairissement'.<br /><br />Negus does sound like a very warming drink for a winter's day, as you say, very much like mulled wine, although I should think the addition of nutmeg, would give it that extra little kick!<br /><br />If the 'menus plaisirs' was responsible for the events and ceremonies for the King and they were described as his 'lesser pleasures', I wonder just what constituted a 'moreish pleasure' and what the department was called that handled these events!!<br /><br />I loved the 'French connection' this week, thanks for sharing.<br /><br />YvonneYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-39548793947865346962013-08-15T11:51:19.693+10:002013-08-15T11:51:19.693+10:00Wow.
