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 :-)

Grolle

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
I know, it is another ski&(dont)drink thread. But just remembered what a nice thing Grolle is after a dinner .... France is good for this - 6 weeks to go before my next Grolle.

I so far found that it is best in small, family run restaurants.

A recomendation for Meribel-Mottaret - La Vieille Creperie was the best so far (also food wise). After the dinner we started singing and after another Grolle we started singing even louder, which followed another genepi 'on the house' - our singing must have been damn good .... Smile

Hells Bells, funny - I think mine came from either La Ros or Serre Che (it was a birthday present).

You know, I've never used it. Having just read the Wiki info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grole I think a trial run tonight might be in order Toofy Grin

You may well be right - I can't quite recall when it was given...but it was after a trip to La Ros or SC. It also gathers dust on a cabiney thing in the livingroom Laughing

I've partaken in one at Chez Danny in Verbier before a torch light descent. My only recollection is of a rather large Sunday Times journalist landing on me in a big heap on the ski down afterwards. Confused Laughing That was in the mid 80s and funnily enough I've not tried it since. Toofy Grin

@Hells Bells, yeah but after the third round everyone has everyone else's herpes.

Ah, but with eight spouts, unless there are eight or four of you round the table, and everybody pays attention, you'll still get the herpes bugs. They do sell them in our local Alpine tat emporiums, along with the whistling marmottes. I've not been tempted.

When we have had it in a restaurant, the number of spouts always corresponded to the number of people participating. Two of them were on the table if there were more than 8 of us.

The one in my pictures had only 4 spouts, there were 6 adults partaking Confused

I will put a straw in my pocket for this season now Laughing

They are actually quite expensive to buy and the more spouts the more expensive.

Most of us even if we are symptom free and have never had a cold sore in our lives will already be infected.

Why worry about sipping from a spout your friend may have used when you go snogging random strangers on your nights out.

Blocking the two adjacent spouts with your thumbs (as per the piccy) is required if you don't want to pour scalding hot coffee down your top. So any attempt at hygiene is futile. We've always nicknamed it "The Woodbeast", after the Flash Gordon bravery trial scene Skullie

I can't imagine it stays hot for long (it's not usually that hot even when you get your own cup!). So, you need a great collection of grolles to suit a variety of gatherings? To gather dust the rest of the time. Sounds a bit of a faff to me. Laughing
