Hello to all of you.
  • You my loyal followers know my attachment to this beautiful vegetable that is Endive and this for a long time because I was inducted into the prestigious brotherhood of "The Endive of France".
just for history.
  • First of all, know that it is I quote "An etiolated Chicory" and that its name Endive comes from the Latin Endivis transcription of the Byzantine Endivi.
  • Called at its beginning "Brussels Chicory" a name that was translated into Flemish as "Witloof" in our North we call it "Chicon" this name having been given to it because it has a "Chicot" that is to say a stump.
  • So, one day knowing the attraction of this beautiful vegetable with that of smoked, I had the idea of marrying it with one of the products from my home smoked and dried duck breast and the result was beyond my expectations try it and tell me.
