MOUTON - Le Reveal

[E.N.]

[Homer J. Fong]

A pretty overwhelming preference for French Onion Soup from our Sheepy diners.
Two prefer a bit of cheese and two are brave enough for snails.
Nobody opting for frogs legs or foie gras.

Question 18: Starters:  *French Onion Soup *Escargots *Foie Gras *Frogs Legs *Camembert

French Onion Soup - 18

I hope @E.N. unwritten rules for sheep don't let me down here!

Sadly, I suspect Shane knows the rules too

I've been wine tasting in Bordeaux as well, I just thought Champagne would sheep

[Homer J. Fong]

All five of the options were chosen for the main, though it's perhaps unsurprising that a bunch of Paddies mostly opted for the nice hearty meat stew rather than the bowl of fish stew or the veggie dish.

Three of our players clearly have notions, as they go for coq au vin (la-di-da!). And @nothing is the only player choosing the duck confit (which tbh is probably what I'd order too!) 

Question 19: Main courses: *Beef Bourguignon *Duck Confit *Coq Au Vin *Bouillabaisse *Ratatouille

And finally, we arrive at dessert.
Shane retains his four point lead over E.N. for now, but if they have chosen different desserts then we may have a last minute twist in the tale!



Time for the final set of results........

[Jluv]

Bouillabaisse would be what I'd choose but knew I should have chosen the beef😒
However I would love to be watching Les Miserables, having french onion soup and a glass of Bordeaux!!

I just went with the first option for each course, but what is the unwritten rule?

Which means, our Golden Sheep for tonight, Le Roi des Moutons is.....

@ShaneU !!!

Many congratulations on your victory, Monsieur; that's quite a winning streak you've been enjoying recently. Enjoy the Mouton d'Or!

Hard luck to @E.N. - still a commendable performance, only your expensive tastes in wine let you down! 

And well done to @lorcand1990 for recovering from a lonely start in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes to finish a very respectable third. 

At the foot of the table, we have a clear winner of the cuillère en bois....or should I say, Kollière en bois? Enjoy your wooden spoon @Kol , may you cook many wonderful French dishes with it. 

Here are the final scores, many thanks to everyone who tuned in. I know it was a long Reveal (I should probably have fewer questions in future, or be better prepared) but I hope ye enjoyed it.

Et @Kol , tu est très mal

[ShaneU]

[Leg End Reject]

Congrats again @ShaneU!

Hard luck @E.N..

Thanks @Homer J. Fong for a great game and reveal.

[lorcand1990]

I think we have a new king of sheep! Well played @ShaneU again and congrats @E.N. on 2nd, which is basically first since Shane wins every game 

Couple of questions let me down so I think I did well to grab 3rd!

Thanks @Homer J. Fong for a great game, the deja vu repeat was excellent

[Zaph]

Félicitations @ShaneU, c'est magnifique! Et merci @Homer J. Fong pour un jeu très agréable.

[Edser]

Well played all, good game.

Congrats @ShaneU, @E.N., @lorcand1990 & @Kol

And thanks for a great game and reveal @Homer J. Fong

[Toto Wolfcastle]

Great game, thanks @Homer J. Fong. 

Congrats @ShaneU!

Live footage of me arriving at Chez Max to satisfy my French food craving:



(If you haven't experienced Sebastien Tellier's incredible Eurovision song, you're missing out. An absolute travesty that it only finished 19th.)

Zaph tells me my gif isn't showing even though it is for me. I think it may be because he hates the French, but if not, my apologies that you're missing out.

[Jluv]

Congrats @ShaneU @E.N. @lorcand1990 . Well played..
Happy spooning @Kol
@Homer J. Fong brilliant reveal. Loved the videos...
Happy with my own placing after such a bad start.
Thunder and lightning is very real here now!!! Stay safe everyone..

[Zaph]

Thunder and lightning is very real here now!!! Stay safe everyone..

Not so much as a drop of rain in D15 yet.  But I've just been watching videos from Galway and Tramore, it looks scary out there so stay indoors and look after yourselves folks.

[ari101]

Thanks Homer - this was good fun, sorry I missed the reveal live, I was like a yo-yo with some woolly and some black answers 🤣
Congrats to Shane and thanks to those who propped me up into almost mid table 😉

Yeah I'm very close to Waterford. Sky is alight. Internet went out for about 15 mins. Rain torrential. Have phone on charge and just filled flask. I loved the good weather so sad it's gone😞

I regret missing the reveal but thank you @Homer J. Fong for a great game and congrats @ShaneU

Congrats to @ShaneU and great reveal @Homer J. Fong

I think that is my first spoon, guess I'll have to start stirring the pot now!

Ironically, the missus made French toast this morning

[Sawduck]

Congrats shane on the win and kol for spooning

Great job at hosting this game Homer

[aaronjennings]

Sorry I missed most of the reveal last night, but thanks for the great game Homer, and congratulations on yet another victory Shane

[davetherave]

Well done Shane, EN, and Lorcan. Well clear at the top there. Thanks Homer, great game.

[Butty Brennan]

Well played ShaneU and thanks for putting it on Homer. I couldn't stay for all of this. I was afraid I would've slipped back down the table and spooned when I came back to check.
Thanks for taking one for the team Kol

[Wichita Lineman]

Great reveal. Very funny. Well done all.
