Jane's Addiction: Absinthe and French Fries

"Under the dusty almond trees, ... stalls were set up which sold banana liquor, rolls, blood puddings, chopped fried meat, meat pies, sausage, yucca breads, crullers, buns, corn breads, puff pastes, longanizas, tripes, coconut nougats, rum toddies, along with all sorts of trifles, gewgaws, trinkets, and knickknacks, and cockfights and lottery tickets."

-- Gabriel Garcia Marquez, 1962 "Big Mama's Funeral"

For those (including me) curious about what a montelimat is

Montelimar is the name of a town on France, famous for producing nougat.

Evidently almond trees were planted there in the 1700's and thrived, allowing the production of a whiter nougat than previously.

Entirely my assumpion that montelimat <=> montelimar, but a Google search threw no further light on the subject.

edited to say trees were planted rather than plated :smile:

Greetings,

In regards to MHesse's assertion that in the Beatle's song Savoy Truffle, I came to the exact same conclusion about the word 'montelimat' really being 'Montelimar'.

There is no word montelimat (AFAIK).

It's strange that even the lyrics printed within the Beatles' White Album has the word spelled with a 't', not an 'r'.

Bob
