Speaking of French cheese

Speaking of French cheese 04/09/2005 07:53 AM
According to this article, French mobilise to save cheeses under threat of extinction France is losing cheeses as producers are dying and taking their cheese making secrets to the grave. A worrisome trend is looming in this country of cheese-lovers, where the nation's rich palette of 1,000 cheeses is being nibbled away at with the annual demise of several varieties..."The Mont-d'Or galette, which had been produced for some 400 years, disappeared this summer following the death of the last producer who knew the secret of how to make it." That does sound worrisome. What's also worrisome is the reference in this article to "National Cheese Day" on "Friday." Did I just miss National Cheese Day?!?! Why weren't there big cheese posters everywhere telling me about this? Sure, they take the time to hang a giant neon sign for the Olympics on the Hôtel de Ville, but why not a giant poster of Brique de Brebis? No wonder a disastrous cheese extinction looms!

Quebec is more French than France

Quebec is more French than France 07/23/2004 06:14 PM

Quebec City, despite its proximity to the U.S. and confederation with Anglophone Canada, is in many ways more authentically French than France.  Our global village of cheap jet transport and liberal immigration policies has resulted in many of the world's cities drawing their inhabitants from whatever countries are most populous and/or whichever countries have the most poverty, crime, and government oppression.  This results in enough similarity of one big city to another that some folks don't bother traveling anymore.

Quebec, by contrast, has stubbornly resisted immigration for centuries.  After the British took over in 1760 they tried desperately to get English speakers to move here to dilute the French language, culture, and loyalty.  In the 19th-century the Quebecois themselves began leaving for various New England states in which high-paying mill jobs were to be had.  Instead of the hoped-for immigration this was an outflow of roughly 1 million people.  Today Canada brings in nearly 250,000 immigrants per year but most of them want to go to Toronto, Vancouver, and other English-speaking cities.  Quebec, with 24 percent of Canada's population, is the choice of only 15 percent of immigrants and most go to Montreal where it is possible to get by with only English (Montreal was where Ah med Ressam started his life in the New World).  Some combination of cold weather, a persistently moribund economy (they've tried everything here:  big government, small government, agriculture, heavy industry, high tech, etc.), and the terror of having to learn French keeps folks from wanting to pile into Quebec City and, to an even larger extent, the small Francophone towns of Quebec.

All of the folks who work basic service jobs seem to be native-born Quebecois.  Any signs in English are directed at tourists.McDonald's has a section "reserved for smokers".  Can this island of pure French culture survive?  A schoolteacher told me "I know that the day will come when I can't speak French here anymore." At the inception of the language wars in the 18th-century the French language was holding its own quite nicely in the worlds of literature, science, and day-to-day use.  Today, however, the results of England imperialism have spread the English language far beyond what could have been foreseen 250 years ago.  The huge number of countries and people that use Spanish and Chinese have further reduced the French language to obscurity.

Back from Quebec City

Back from Quebec City 06/05/2005 11:56 PM

The trip back from Quebec City involved a stop in Burlington, Vermont to clear customs, borrow the "crew car" at the airport gas station (FBO), rent bikes along the lakeshore, and fly back to Boston at around 6:30 pm when the afternoon thunderstorms were supposed to be dissipating.  Each leg of the flight was about one hour and we were in the clouds almost the entire time.  The new airplane has a datalink with the National Weather Service's NEXRAD system for finding rain showers, thunderstorms, and lightning strikes.  As another demonstration of the power of U.S. government bureaucracy this datalink adds about $10,500 to the cost of the airplane.  If you buy a battery-powered receiver to plug into your laptop and use without connecting to the airplane's electrical system the cost is about $800.  Consequently, just as with the GPS systems that would warn Cessna pilots out of the Washington, D.C. airspace, hardly anyone with an older airplane has this kind of datalink.  On the second leg the datalink proved very valuable.  The air traffic controllers in this region have a simultaneous display of air traffic and weather and you can ask them for vectors to keep clear of heavy rain but it is very nice indeed to see it all in on the airplane's dashboard moving map.

As it turned out the rainstorms and lightning were still active in some areas of Vermont and New Hampshire.  But with the datalink we were able to steer clear of anything worse than light rain.  My old plane didn't have the datalink and I probably would have chickened out and stayed on the ground until the FBO's weather terminal showed the RADAR calming down.

I'm already missing the friendly people of Quebec.  The Departure controller asked if I'd enjoyed my weekend there.  I especially remember Eric Proulx, a farmer in the city market who showed us photos of his goats at the Ferme Tourilli, and gave us samples of his delicious Cap Rond cheese, which he says is available in one Boston store (I've emailed him to find out which one; he couldn't remember at the time).

Quebec, Labrador, Newfoundland, PEI trip
highlights

Quebec, Labrador, Newfoundland, PEI trip
highlights 07/29/2004 08:48 PM

I'm back in New England as of this evening, at a secure non-disclosed location safe from the security goons of the DNC.  Here are some highlights and statistics from the little airplane excursions.

Approximate route:  Up to Quebec City, northeast up the St. Lawrence River to the northern tip of Newfoundland, down the west coast of Newfoundland to Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia then over to Prince Edward Island before returning via Bangor, Maine. About 3000 miles traveled during 20 hours of flight time.

Most Interesting Place:  L'Anse aux Meadows in St. Anthony's, Newfoundland, the first European settlement in the Americas circa 1000 AD.  The Vikings came, they saw, they loved it, but they left because they didn't have sufficient military power to hold out against the local Indian tribes.

Best Aerial Scenery:  Whales (100+) in the St. Lawrence, icebergs on the east coast of Newfoundland, the mountains of Gros Morne National Park from 1000-2000' above the waves on the west coast of Newfoundland.

Favorite Modern Art Observed:  International Garden Festival at the Grand Metis (Reford) gardens near Mont Joli, Quebec (6000' runway) on the Gaspe Peninsula.  The range of ideas in this Extreme Gardening event was inspiring and included an Asphalt Garden by Se Busca, a team from Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Favorite book read:  Ski nny Dip by Carl Hiaasen.  A woman gets rich after her casino-owning parents are killed in a Gulfstream that crashes while transporting a performing bear.  Her biologist husband subsequently tosses her off the back of a cruise ship in an attempted murder but she survives by clutching a floating bale of marijuana.  Not exactly thought-provoking but fun.

Favorite newspaper article read:  "Woman's whale phobia justified...  [headline] Behemoth Slaps Boater in Head with Tail [subhead] Labrador woman with a lifelong whale phobia was badly injured after an unidentified whale slapped her with its tail on the maiden voyage of her husband's new boat." (from the National Post, subscription only; also see this CBC story)

Favorite radio show heard:  Senior citizen's call-in hour on CBC where a woman requested Dory Previn's song "Twenty Mile Zone".
