Que de souvenirs! C’était souvent notre repas du vendredi soir car on ne devait pas manger de viande le vendredi. L’Eglise catholique prenait soin de notre santé…
Maintenant, on fait ça nous-mêmes en préparant des bons plats comme celui-ci. C’est bon au goût et excellent pour équilibrer notre alimentation. J’ajoute cette recette à mon menu. Merci
J’adore la sauce aux oeufs mais ma mère y ajoutait des choux de Bruxelles vraiment pas une bonne idée
Merci ça va me rappeler des souvenirs
Ma mère nous en faisait OMG j’avais oublié!!! C’est certain que je vais essayé la recette :)
