Teurgoule

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Teurgoule is a cinnamon-flavoured rice pudding that is a speciality of Normandy. The name comes from the Norman language and means twist mouth, a reference to the faces supposedly pulled by someone tasting it due to the spiciness of the dish.

Teurgoule even has a brotherhood La Confrérie Gastronomique de la Teurgoule which is based in Houlgate and presides over the annual Teurgoule cooking competition. The presiding members wear the brotherhood's ceremonial robe which is green and orange with a cape. The brotherhood keeps the official recipe.
