depends of the hour...


during lunch, that would be rose wine
After lunch, café
during dinner, when it is already dark, red wine

Before lunch or dinner, in summer, I would rather choose a pastis
with a bit of sirop d'orgeat. And ice.
Right, I lived in Marseille ;-)


But in the afternoon... a beer, or even a little pcb is nice...

After dinner, strong alcoohol, but usually, by then... I am cooked.

note...pcb stands for picon citron bière...
picon is a traditional mixture of plants. When there is only regular 
beer left in the fridge, that is a good solution...
