In Normandy, I keep my bearings in a simple glass

I see myself in the simple rituals of the Norman table, especially when I am looking for familiar touchstones without any pressure. In LaBouffe, under the Tips tag, I often return to the drinks from my region because they speak as much about me as they do about a meal: a farm-pressed apple juice when I want to keep things light, a dry cider when I am sharing a more relaxed moment, then a pommeau or a calvados in small amounts when I am calmly finishing dinner. I like this quiet, almost understated progression, which suits me: I can come back from a walk towards the Seine quays in Rouen, stop by a market hall or a market near Neuf-Marché, and choose a bottle that does not unsettle me. For me, what matters is not doing a lot, but drinking just right, at the right time, with a clean, straightforward taste. Alcohol abuse is dangerous to your health. Drink in moderation.
