I mean, how the hell you cannot absolutely love this guy?! Whenever he speaks about the food I get so hungry!
I love "researching" these food videos :) Though when I edit the video together I get sooooo hungry! You will eat very VERY well in Normandy :) Happy Travels Fellow Travelers!! Food List Starts at 1:00 (though before that you get to see some tasty French food)
As a history major in college I took a class trip over spring break and one of the stops was Bayeux. We had to eat at a gas station on the road in from Paris because apparently the bus had to stop according to EU laws they can't drive long distances without rest breaks for the driver. We got in late and most restaurants were actually closing for the night so we walked around the town which was unusually warm for mid-March, talked to an absolutely incredible older gentleman who said he was originally from the town and was sent away during occupation and had recently moved back and said he tried to personally thank any American he met for saving France, even all those years later. The hotel staff had Bayeux cider cold for us when we got back in for the night before bed, had wonderful breads, croissants and cheese for breakfast. The Camembert was absolutely creamier than anything I've ever had in the U.S. Lunch was in Ste. Mere Eglise as part of our tour, lunch did have specific hours but we were all very surprised to see mostly American menus. A bit disappointing for sure but understandable given the amount of tourists they must get. I hope I can get back, beautiful countryside, shoreline, and people.
Geoffrey Koleff that sounds like a wonderful experience!
Can't agree more with all you said.
Little tips from a french norman
From the weakest to the strongest norman drinks : Apple juice - Cider - Pommeau - Calvados.
In case you want a snack, you'll easily find what we call a "crêperie" where they serve our famous "crepes". Have a try, especially those with Caramel d'Isigny (from Normandy).
The boys had at least one crepe a day :) thank you for the kind words!!
Bryan Vdv Are you a French Norman? My fathers ancestors are from Normandy the family name is HUS
I love your travel show. You do a wonderful job of preparing people, so they can have an even better time.
Thank you Susan :)
i don t understand all what you said , but i love that , from france
You are such a positive person man. Love listening to you.
I'm so hungry after that! :P
You're such a great inspiration for my channel. Keep it up Mark :)
Cheers!
I'm going to Normandy soon and your videos are answering my questions. Thank you!
HAHAH LOVE how the sheep complained over your butchering the name Teurgoule!!
Thank you so much for making such great videos! I love this channel and I think that you are a very kind person. Keep on making videos!! All the best!
Digging these food videos. Makes me hungry just watching them.
Phenomenal with immense elucidation. Immensely informative!
I'm so lucky to be Norman, we like eating here
Yummy!!!! We are going to Normandy for a week driving trip in May 2022, super helpful!
I come from Normandy and fully concur with this video!!
Thanks a very useful video Mark, thanks for this going 2nd of April!
I loved Normandy.
I have only just discovered you and your family, you all seem great guys. Love your enthusiasm for travel...love you love of Paris, who can not like the city. Your my ‘go to’...
Nice job. Thanks for the info.
Get in my belly, everything!
Dr. Dolittle cracked me up. 😂 This may be my new favorite WW *_food_* video...lots of delicious looking plates; excellent commentary; perfect backdrop, like seriously beautiful countryside. Well done. 👍
Thanks Tosh. It was a great video to "prepare" for :) lots of hard research, but someone had to do it :)
My kind of research indeed. I’m glad I came back to read the comments. Hilarious that people are making recommendations of some of the exact foods you expressly highlighted. 🤔😂
Wonderful video. I am planning my visit to Normandy. Thanks a lot!
You will love it! Glad we could help
Whoah, that was quick
never knew there was so many yummy choices! also, that sheep in the background was all like, "baaa.. eat the duck, don't eat lamb.."
I think they were English sheep as they seemed to understand me :)
This is one of my favourite points about traveling, THE FOOD TASTING :)
Me and my wife love to taste the traditional dishes that you're used to eat at home but have never had "the real deal" haha
Normandy is definitely one of the places on my bucket list (i guess i am a bit obsessed with anything connected with WWII, don't really know why actually)
Great video. So enthusiastic. Coincidentally I just got back from a trip to Normandy. I live in Kent in the UK so it is very easy to get to. The cider is fantastic, but also incredibly cheap, about €3 per bottle. Normandy cheese is amazing, and goes far beyond Camembert (which, truth be told, is exactly the same in Normandy as it is in Sydney.) Pont-l'Evêque, Liverot and my personal favourite, Neufchatel are all worth trying.
i love the cider in france
thanks for the video! your suggestions made me so hungry! haha
don't miss out on other great Norman cheeses such as Pont-l'Evêque and Livarot! Sure, camembert is great, but as you said you can find it pretty much anywhere else, and that's not the case for these other cheeses
very true and very tasty :)
You’re in my home town!!!!
just came home from their it was lovely my favourite place was the tapestry
It is so long. I didn't realize it and then you go and it goes on for awhile and it's so ornate. I really loved it.
There is so much detail on the tapestry, you really need to see it twice. Don't put your translation device back in the bucket at the end, go round again!
Check out all the mistletoe!
YOU HAVE TO try clafoutis 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻😉
Thanks for saleing the kite
Visit Northern Spain please! Especially Asturias. Please!
Seconds in this video and the background local lamb already gave its approval.
(Also, I, as a Chinese person, snickered when you called tripes "adventurous"...)
hey Mark have you ever thought about visiting Belize? love your vids
we have tickets for beginning of next year for a family trip :)
Wolters World awesome! cant wait for those vids thank you
Any insight on Beaujolais and Beaujolais Noveau? Yes, we’re months away from harvest season and I’m sure someone out there wants to slap me for saying so, but I haven’t noticed much of a difference between the two.
Try everything Saucisson, poulet, salads, bouef, nouille, saumon fume...Each cafe has a different style.
My fiancée and I are planning on having our honeymoon in France this November. We're doing a week in Paris and a Week in Normandy.
What time of year did you go?
What are those clumps in the trees? Just wondering. Keep up the good work!
Mistletoe
Thanks

i needed to wach for a proget
J'ai faim maintenant

Calvados!
Thank you for mentioning the butter!
are you a Norman? i need to ask a question
@@author7027 who me? I'm a Norman.
@@cameron3525 nice to hear from you so fast=heureux d'avoir de vos nouvelles si vite
i just have read this:en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Complete_Short_Stories_of_Guy_de_Maupassant/A_Normandy_Joke
Les nouvelles complètes de Guy de Maupassant (1903) de Guy de Maupassant
Une blague de Normandie.
The procession came in sight in the hollow road which was shaded by the tall trees which grew on the slopes of the farm. The newly-married couple came first, then the relations, then the invited guests, and lastly the poor of the neighborhood while the village urchins, who hovered about the narrow road like flies, ran in and out of the ranks, or climbed up the trees to see it better.
The bridegroom was a good-looking young fellow, Jean Patu, the richest farmer in the neighborhood. Above all things, he was an ardent sportsman who seemed to lose all common sense in order to satisfy that passion, who spent large sums on his dogs, his keepers, his ferrets, and his guns. The bride, Rosalie Roussel, had been courted by all the likely young fellows in the district, for they all thought her prepossessing and they knew that she would have a good dowry, but she had chosen Patu-partly, perhaps, because she liked him better than she did the others, but still more, like a careful Normandy girl, because he had more crown pieces.
....and so on
and i was surprised somehow because it means, even if its about 100 years ago, You Normans
are specific interesting people. all French for me are interesting in a way but here its even more.
the thing is , as far as I remember history , Normans came from the North to the French coast, like Vikings , they lived 200 years there and became French-speaking and from there =
=''William I[a] (c. 1028[1] - 9 September 1087), usually known as William the Conqueror and sometimes William the Bastard,[2][b] was the first Norman King of England, reigning from 1066 until his death in 1087. A descendant of Rollo, he was Duke of Normandy from 1035 onward. After a long struggle to establish his power, by 1060 his hold on Normandy was secure, and he launched the Norman conquest of England six years later. The rest of his life was marked by struggles to consolidate his hold over England and his continental lands and by difficulties with his eldest son.
because i have a Romantic feeling to France ,=when i was a boy , i read The Three Musketeers (French: Les Trois Mousquetaires [le tʁwa muskətɛʁ]) is a historical adventure novel written in 1844 by French author Alexandre Dumas.
AND I like Lui de Funes films which is there mostly in Russian ,
but i never visited France because of different reasons,
but met French people and it was different in different time
i would like to ask questions---are You still such original people with such jokes ?
Any wine you recommend?
Honestly in Normandy you drink wine from other parts of France.
It is not a wine production area. Too wet. Closest terroir is Loire but you can find any wine.
You should do this video during D-Day
I have a few Normandy videos still to come :)
Wolters World great I can't wait
Baguettes and croissant are everywhere in France for sure. But duck is not. It is typical from the south west (from Dax to Toulouse). It is not uncommon to find some out of that area but it is definitively not a speciality so I don't advise you to have it (even if it's going to be very ok ...duck in its confit form is made to be exported and is naughtier than a chicken... no instead I would advise you to go for seafood, beef, dairy ( camembert is the thing here, and it can be wild), and tripes said "à la mode de Caen" (Caen' style tripes) or as "andouillette" (tripes stuffed with ... chopped tripes) for the bravest and as andouille (smoked sausage) for tourists (😏).
Just remembered a tip.
Camembert because of its popularity us often being sold as authentic, artisanal camembert when it's industrial.
There was a legal blur over the label they use, in the end, you should go with "Camembert de Normandie" and avoid "Camembert Fabriqué en Normandie" which was the vague naming used to fool people by big dairy companies like Lactalis.
(One of them even put commercials for their brand with actors dressed in 18th/19th clothes to create a false "authenticy" image"
What would be your favourite European food/meal that isn't usually found in America?
X43oPEGASUSo Mousaka!
Bigoli con arne which is fat noodles with duck ragu sauce from Veneto region of Italy. Any food that is just so much better local. BBQ in the south. Chinese food in China is completely different. So many things I can't think of them:) Danish pastries in Denmark
Octopus, but only fresh octopus (preferably caught with my own 2 hands) from the sea surrounding Crete! Opa! Kali Orexi!
Although Norman oysters are maybe my favorite oysters in the world.
Cal-VA-dos
I'm a vegetarian. Are their Any vegetarian friendly food around the world.
Indian dishes available in Normandy?
Mark, your dining bills must be through the roof when you travel. We buy our food from local supermarkets when we travel and assemble our own meals.
The thing is you miss out on the local gastronomy. To me, eating is part of traveling. I couldn't go to a country (except places with no food culture like Norway) and not try the specialties!
Do the French drink beer?
Yes :)
And we also produce a lot
hittingtax26 yes since we have an endless quality supply from our belgian pals :)
Wow Mark did you lose weight? You look great!
Cider's fine: it's almost the only alcohol I can stand.
Tripes saucisses call andouillette 👍
Americans dont have alcoholic cider?
Note there is a BIG difference between American andouille and French andouilette.
Haha, why Americans call apple juice cider always confused me so much.
YO WALTER WHITE?!
I’m a picky eater. The pastry was good. I did not French food.
Don't be fooled by the prices of the brandy or cognac in France. In the US if you find a bottle of brandy or cognac for under $10 it is not the best quality. Not so in France. You can find quality brandy and cognac in small bottles for under 10 Euros.
Mark, Do you wave your arms around this much when you lecture your marketing classes?
Apple juice is apple juice, not cider...cider has alcohol. Its called cider, not hard cider.
Sorry to be picky but cider is too good to wrongly label.
When I go to France I'll have one week to get a girlfriend lol I wish I could meet someone from a Europe country
Morbier is much better than Camembert.
Pain suisse!
Yes the desserts are to die for after, for my taste, the duck (cooked any way). I don’t get how much the French eat so much cheese and bread and stay SLIM........why?
Love your enthusiasm…but please work on your pronunciation…
would be nice to see a little more food and a little less face
