Talking TV: Taste Le Tour 2007
It’s that time of the year again. Short days, long cold winter nights, and Christmas in July! Oh, did I not mention it – and that annual three-week cycling whirlwind across France and its neighbouring countries, Le Tour de France! And for the third year in a row comes the latest instalment of the delicious Taste le Tour from the official broadcaster here in Australia, SBS.
The recipe demonstrated each night during the broadcast features the dish or specialty of the region where the stage of the tour is held for that day. For those of you in Australia not interested in watching the cycling race but wanting to catch the brief 3-4 minutes long segment of the recipe, it is usually shown during the first fifteen minutes of the broadcast (broadcast usually starts around 10.00 or 10.30pm) here in the east coast. I’m not too sure if it is the same in South or Western Australia, or Northern Territories due to time differences.
