    What's the French gastronomer's term for a small glass of apple brandy or apple brandy sherbet meant to stimulate your appetite halfway a meal?

    Question #92819. Asked by Flem-ish. (Feb 25 08 5:42 PM)

    		Calvados

    This is a small drink of Calvados taken between courses in a very long meal, sometimes with apple sorbet, supposed to re-awaken the appetite. Calvados can be served as aperitif, blended in drinks, between meals, as digestive or with coffee.
