Well, there it is, Daniel straps down the last pallet.
That’s three pallets in total and Daniel estimates 300,000+ batons destined for Canada.
All things must come to an end so here is my last lunch at Natalie’s.
A little quiche with a Cote du Rhone to take the edge off the morning.
Followed by one of my favourites – tripe.
My mom’s was better – but only by a little bit.
Very hearty, delicious and satisfying since the cold weather moved in.
3 types of cheese (as usual) and a little creamy dessert with coffee.
Natalie sees us off.
I think she will miss me.
I always sang the praises of the food at Le Petit Auberge.
This pic gives you an idea of the lovely scenery in Bourgogne.
I drove every day for 30 minutes from my hotel to the Nitram workshop.
I saw deer, fox, rabbits and even a wild boar.
How cool is that!
More later – cheers and thanks Natalie.
Very relaxing and enjoyable.






Jerzy, you are doing the world a huge favor. Revitalizing the world’s finest charcoal is a boon to us all. I will be a loyal customer for as long as it stays in production, and will happily turn my nose up to any competitor in the market. Nitram is the only charcoal.
Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement.
I was amazed at how much better Nitram was when I tried to use another brand of charcoal.
It is what led me to eventually buy the company and bring it back.
Nitram will stay in production – no need to be concerned.
Cheers and thanks.
Food wine and Nitram. What could be better than that? I searched the major art supply chains on line here in the US and couldn’t find any Nitram charcoal. Is there a store in the US or Canada that carries it? I live in Boston. Thanks.
