Monday Morning Mirth
"Historically, the starting of the nougat goes back several centuries. It is thought that it was imported by the Greeks, Via Marseilles, which explains the success of this product in all Provence.
On voit mention du nougat dans les années 1700-1701 puisqu'on parle du nougat aux noix, du gâteau aux noix "Nux gatum" ou "nougo"."
..... from Gerb d'Or
AND here I thought a Nouggie was when I was really little, I grabbed my brothers head and rubbed it real fast 'til it felt like it was on FIRE...
I LOVE this STUFF - boiled honey from lavendar, egg whites, pistachios and almonds...
Can one buy this in Chicago? My nougat came all the way from Lyon, from a tiny dancer - thank you FLUFFA - the nougat was all fluffy and accompanied by some rather haute sparklin' yarn fun - Wowie WOWIE WOW!!!
Montélimar, the nougat capital
There are several types of French nougat:
- Montelimar nougat contains at least 30% nuts, comprising roasted sweet almonds (28%) and pistachios (2%).
