orange juice

Al, you may like it much better if you let it ferment it for a few weeks, and than you may even want to destil it a bit. It is really good by than!

With my acidic stomach, orange juice (fresh or not) is not one of my traveling problems. Those other liquids that Karen talks about don't seem to carry that bad reaction mainly because I don't drink in the early AM on an empty stomach as you orangejuicers do. Ugh!!

We know which juice you'll like. It's a question of which one you'll drink on a full-time basis.

A glass of wine costs less.

Thanks for the responses, guys. That's exactly the confusion I had: which one was fresh squeezed over ice, served with water on the side and packets of sugar and which one was bottled and just poured into a glass.

Think I'll try them both and decide which one I like. Stay tuned ... I'm sure it'll be in my forthcoming Restaurant Report Oct 2005 (when I get back from my trip, that is).

To be sure and they won't be cheap!!

Y€$ indeed, I am!

Now that I'm getting out of the quartier populaire and over into tourist and high-rent territory, perhaps I'll have no trouble finding those oranges pressés!

Stacy: You're moving into a DREAM neighborhood. Can't wait to hear more about it!

Jonathan:

If you order an orange presse, plan on paying a supplement. The oranges are squeezed as you watch and are usually served on ice with a small carafe d'eau on the side. You'll also find a package of crystallized sugar. This is in the event you find the orange juice too acidic.

I skip the sugar and but am glad for the ice!

That has been my experience.

St. Germain, is it common to find that? Perhaps in some places more than others? Somehow I've never managed to be in the right spots to come across freshly squeezed OJ/orange pressé.

Stacy, thanks for the information and I was really glad to hear the good news.

Jonathan: When I was the last time at theAndrouet cheese store, I aked them how long a good Bleu d'Averne will keep, and they tolf me, that the have can put it in a tin can, and evacuate it, and in those vacuum cans, it keepd for a reasonably lomg time, but regretfully iwas down, and needed repairs. I hope the have it in working order, and that way it keeps better on a long trip home.

A jus d'orange may get you orange juice from a bottle while an orange presse may get you fresh orange juice.

Stacy,

Thanks for thinking of me in relation to Androuet. I guess my love for their cheese courses is well known on BP now? LOL I'll be in Paris 27 September - 6 October, so I'll be there while you're moving. But I will take a look at the Androuet on the rue St. Roche in the 1ere (which I suspect is certainly Closed) and the location you mentioned. Being an optimist, I won't believe they're gone until I see it with my own eyes!

Jonathan

I walked past it yesterday but haven't had a chance to go in. It certainly is open, though.

I've read that the restaurant used to be located at #51 rue de Verneuil and closed, and then they opened a shop again at #37 (or perhaps the shop has always been open there, I'm not sure).

Once I've moved into my new place over there, I'll go take a closer look.

Stacy, your note is very interestin, as you mention the Androuiet, cheese shop. (The restaurant was about a bloch west of the chesse shop. I was there the last time in 2003. The store was closed shortly there after as someone mentioned it here on BP. Have you been recently at the store? In other words does it still exists?

BP Chuck

"Un jus d'orange" will do nicely.

Actually (I'm going to go ahead and mention it here even though it's in the wrong subject), I thought of you the other day. I'm moving into a different apartment on October 1 over on the rue de Verneuil in the 7th, right next to the 6th, and there's an Androuet cheese shop right across the street at 37 rue de Verneuil. Closest metro is Solferino or rue du Bac--it's also not far from the Musée d'Orsay. Not sure if they serve food there, too, or just sell cheese. I haven't had a chance to stop in there yet but will as soon as I'm able to after October 1. If you get there before I do, be sure to report back on how it was.

Have a wonderful trip!

When ordering one's first meal of the day, does one order a jus d'orange or an orange presse (my accent keys don't work for some reason) when they're wanting what we in the States would think of orange juice?

I arrive in Paris in almost two weeks time and I'm already thinking of what I want when I get to my apartment, drop my stuff and head over for my first meal of the day at La Pallette!
