La Perruche ..

[eleanor2]

... rough brown sugar cubes. Ive just discovered them, but havent tried them. Anyone bought them? I fancy trying them in a coffee.

Cane sugar is cane sugar, whatever those behind a marketing campaign might say.

However the 180 reviews on Amazon are almost universally positive:

I haven't bought them but we used to serve them with coffee at work. To me they taste the same as most brown sugars.

[eleanor2]

I see 'Billingtons' produce the same, I know I can get these two brands online, I would love to find a shop that sells either!

[eleanor2]

Thanks Buen,ummmm, I thought it might. Just sounds lovely.

What!! Just get a box & shake them up to roughen them!!
Have I spelt roughen right????

[eleanor2]

Sharon, its brown sugar, its cubed, its retro, not bothered if it is or isnt rough round the edges ... it sounded nice ;0)

[Jackdaw33]

Why does its name translate as parakeet?

[Mamyalynne]

That's the Trademark image on the box.

[eleanor2]

Good question jack, I dont know its origin .. French brand I think, thanks mamya.
