“This root [the potato], no matter how much you prepare it, is tasteless and floury. It cannot pass for an agreeable food, but it supplies a food sufficiently abundant and sufficiently healthy for men who ask only to sustain themselves. The potato is criticised with reason for being windy, but what matters windiness for the vigorous organisims of peasants and labourers?” |
| Denis Diderot (1713-1784) L'Encyclopedie (1751-1772) |

In a small saucepan, combine the honey, lime juice and large mint
sprigs; warm over low heat just until the honey melts. Remove from
the heat and let steep for 5 minutes; discard the mint. Place the
fruit in a large bowl, pour the honey mixture over and stir gently to
combine. Divide the berry mixture among 6 individual goblets or
dessert dishes and refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 1 hour.
Just before serving, pour the Champagne over the fruit. Garnish each
serving with a sprig of mint and serve. Serves 6.
COMMENTS: Nonalcoholic champagne, such as Ariel Brut, can be
substituted for the real thing. Any combination of berries or
cherries (or nectarines or peaches, for that matter) can be used.
Several colors make the prettiest presentation, but single-berry
ambrosia is delicious too.
