Our day wasn't with out a mission we had to get French wine for the French wine and Cheese party on the Mandalay. My mom said that the interesting part about that was that when she looked at the selections made by the other passengers, there really weren't many duplicates. That can say that Martinique really had a lot of wine, or each person on the Mandalay was really that unique!!! Mom also bought some Art, Pastis, Chicory and Oh yeah, French Pringles.
Pastis - anise-flavored liqueurs (liqueurs d'anis): This is a category of liqueurs that are flavored with either anise, star anise, or licorice. Examples include anisette and pastis from France, ouzo and mistra from Greece, anesone and sambuca from Italy, anis and ojen from Spain, and kasra from Libya. This is a licorice-flavored liqueur that the French like to serve with water. It's higher in alcohol than anis or anisette. Beignets
and Cafe au Lait (from Emeril) - Cafe au lait is brewed coffee, preferably
dark French roast with chicory, with half scalded -- NOT steamed -- milk,
poured together from two pots: 6 rounded tablespoons dark roast New Orleans
coffee with chicory (Community, French Market, CDM, Union, etc.), 6 cups
