Hi again all

I don’t want this to look like self promotion but on my Luxembourg site I have something you might be interested in. A new Luxembourgish cook book written by well know chefs (well known here anyway) that has just come out called « Lëtzebuerger kascht modern opgedëscht ». Here’s the link for more details: http://www.station.lu/index.php?p=edito&id=13140

I also did an Indian cookery video report you may be interested in: http://www.station.lu/index.php?p=edito&id=13131

Anyway, good luck with more Luxembourgish cooing, I would be interested to know if you try any more of them, or if you want more info from this little country, let me know!

Phil– NOW you tell me. I just got a tweet from Grand Duke Henri thanking me for awakening Americans to the pleasures of the Luxembourgish table. He didn’t say a thing about Gaardebounen. Dang.

It’s a well-known fact that the national dish of Luxembourg is Judd mat Gaardebounen (pork with broad beans). How can anybody not know this?!

Hi Michael

Like most foreigners here, the attraction is work and money at first and the big financial industry as it is a rich place. That’s the path I took and worked in finance for a while. I was quickly enchanted by the small country, its beauty, its security (I was unemployed for a short while and guaranteed as unemployment benefit 80% of my previous wage). Now been here about 6 years, I have no intention of returning to the UK!

I’ve now got out of finance and am editor of an English language community website here “Station.lu”: http://www.station.lu so if you are looking for more Luxembourg info come to the website! Who knows, I could even do articles on Gromperekichelcher or Bouneschlupp soon!

Vilmos merci, schéi owend, addi an bis glaich!

Stephanie– After the paralysis of the Botox subsided, I accidentally dropped one of my silver champagne straws in a giant vat of bleach. Unfortunately, I also dropped a rich cardiologist into the same vat. I took that as a sign from God that I should perhaps rethink my priorities.

Mlle. Sunshine– Well villmols merci! I am very delighted you enjoyed the post. I am extremely flattered that you decided to share this with other Luxembourgers.

Adam– I am relieved to know that my recipe is authentic, having never before heard of nor tasted the dish previously. I looked at a recipe for Gromperekichelcher– it’s right up my alley, food-wise.

And, Adam, what on earth brought you to Luxembourg? Very curious.

Excellent article from someone living in Luxembourg (although I’m British) and very authentic recipe,

The best dish of Luxembourg though in my opinion is “Gromperekichelcher” or Luxembourger’s version a sort of potato cake, delish. Dipped in an apple sauce even more delish… :-)

Your de Luxembourg recipe dropped into my inbox this morning due to the Luxembourg connection. I have my alerts set to email me all sorts of things related to Luxembourg. I really enjoyed your witty commentary and humor about Luxembourg. I decided to share your posting on my own blog about Luxembourg.

But what about last week’s quest for love via fancy cocktails, silver champagne straws and $8 ice cubes? Inquiring minds want to know!
