Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

@pam w, it's really hot! And very strong too.

I think I would just buy an 8 spout one if I got one, rare we'd have more than 8 people for dinner.

@Hells Bells, as you say, something like (epidemiology results vary) 95-75% are carriers/infected (which probably means 100% with some occlusion...

They are definitely one of those things that seem like a good idea when you are on holiday but don't translate to being back at home. The list includes: drinks that taste of banana, pastis, bombardinos, sombreros, etc

@Tiger2, I'd agree entirely there with one exception, although bombardinos are bleeeeugh in any location . I am rather fond of an occasional shot of genepi.

I got one as a wedding present. It's seen more use as an ornament, but we did get it out recently when my brother-in-law and his new fiancé came to visit.

@pam w, funnily enough it was a present from some French friends who are multi-generation Beaufortain locals! (from Areches).

Ahhhh....pruneaux....vile, yet oddly rather pleasing (after the first 3 or 4).

can't say I've ever seen one in Serre Che though.


Now when I know it, it is much easier to spot it - usualy is sits somewhere high on the shelf and it looks like a decoration. It is of course mentioned on menius but without knowing what it is most people usualy go with what they know or had before. I was doing the same, but then one day I asked what groll is and the reaction of a waiter told it all - he looked at me and said 'grolle, you do not know what it is?', he then mumbled about owner's special receipe and that only the owner serves it ... this caught our attention (it was theartic, I know, but I liked it). It was really cool inhaling that wonderfull vapour of 7 different acohols with coffee in a burned and well used grolle ... Smile

Me too, I leave it for holidays only as at home it would not feel the same. Also internet recepies say that you could do that with genepi only - not sure if that would be OK, as in Vieille Crepperie in Meribel Mottarer I also counted 5 different bottles of alcohol and then something else used in preparation.

The only disapointment I have is that I did not ask what grolle was on my first ski trip Blush
