A) shallot (English), échalote (French) , Eshallot (?)


B) in " 400g's ", what purpose does the apostrophe serve ?

C) Am sure that Ozzie Shiraz is far better than American Shiraz (note
the use of the smiley in my original post), unfortunately here in the
Beaujolais, there is a lack of available samples for me to do my own
taste test. We do have Cote du Rhone available of course but we do tend
to use the local wine for coooking

PS I do like winding up colonials when given the chance !
