Try this traditional meal in Tournai, 13/01/14. At the start of the meal, the "King's tickets" are drawn to assign the various roles to the guests, including that of the "King". Note that every time that the king drinks, the other guests must follow suit! As for the meal itself, you will enjoy either the famous lapin à la tournaisienne (Tournai-style rabbit) or the Tournai salad. Both are a must! What are Betrayal Monday and Lost Monday? Lost Monday gets its name from the fact that people used to take a day of unpaid holiday to celebrate. It was, therefore, a lost day in terms of the people's salary. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 15 mins (2014-11-16 23:31:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- lundi parjuré = Betrayal Monday -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 mins (2014-11-16 23:32:53 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- As for Betrayal Monday, it is such an old tradition that no-one can remember exactly which betrayal it concerns, even if the earliest written records date back to the 13th century. Whatever its origins, the tradition continues and as they say in Tournai: "A Tournai, pou bin fair' cell' fiête, l'ceu qui n'a pos d'lapin n'a rien !'' (In Tournai, to celebrate this festival properly, he who has no rabbit, has nothing!") -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 25 mins (2014-11-16 23:41:45 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- and here's a ref on the cuisine: http://www.visittournai.be/restos/specialites-tournaisiennes... |
