Food writer and author Felicity Cloake says... "The name of this slow- cooked rice pudding, which I found sold from vast earthenware dishes in a market in Cherbourg, means “twist-mouth” in Norman dialect – apparently a reference to the large amounts of spice in the recipe."

In her book One More Croissant For The Road, Felicity tells tales and shares recipes from her weeks cycling and eating her way around France. Buy it here on Amazon.
