That's the price of a French education I suppose. I'll give your suggestion a try - we've got some friends from the UK coming for Christmas so perhaps we'll treat them!

Might I be so bold as to suggest that you try it with scrambled egg? The textures and tastes seem to marry very well. We have had to forego our Christmas pudding this year: with the kitchen bieng in bits since late September we have had no facilities in which to make it. So I don't know what we're having this year. But it won't be the same... Boudin blanc gets my vote Mr B. Might I be so bold as to suggest that you try it with scrambled egg? The textures and tastes seem to marry very well.
