2)A friend of mine was teaching english in rural normandy. Her class was the first period of the day.She noticed kids falling asleep...It was not her teaching.. Some kids were given a shot of calvados before the long walk to school....
Normandy has a cold and rainy weather ..for France
3) Cafe-calva at the bistro, old habit of the workers early morning before going to work. Small espresso and a shot of calvados.
In the 19th century, output increased with industrial distillation and the working class fashion for café-calva. When a phylloxera outbreak in the last quarter of the 19th century devastated the vineyards of France and Europe, calvados experienced a "golden age". During World War I, cider brandy was requisitioned for use in armaments due to its alcohol content.
4)Love the stuff.. Not always available in Canada so I have to go to France yearly....
