WHB #50: Heather In The Kitchen

Sunday, September 17th, 2006

We were fortunate enough to have a couple of weekends away recently, one to the North Yorkshire Moors, and one to a small town called Moffat in Scotland. Both places shared hills, forests, and field after field of purple Heather.

As always, this abundance of Heather got me thinking - “Can I eat it”? Surely it’s not so infeasible. Heather honey is for sale in supermarkets everywhere, and Wild Game (such as Grouse) enjoy Heather as the main part of their diet.

WBW #25: Moet and Chandon Champagne

Wednesday, September 13th, 2006

Moet and Chandon is the worlds leading Chamoage, and was established in 1743 by the Dutch Claude Moet (pronounced Mow-et, NOT Mow-ey, contrary to popular belief). It was another 100 years before Vintage Champagne was introduced, and then furthered by the introduction of the “dry” and “sec” types. Shortly before this time (1840), the Chandon name was added to the bottle due to the legacy passing from Jean Remy Moet to his son Victor Moet, and son in law Pierre Gabriel Chandon. The type ‘Brut Imperial’, under review today, was introduced in 1860.
