Borage VS Mirabelles, donated by our members

MirabelleBourracheJean-Pierre : My dear Jean-Marcel, are you familiar with borage and its unsuspected merits?
This plant is the unsung superhero of the garden. You look at it, it looks shy with its little blue flowers, but it hides extraordinary powers...
Did you know that it's full of essential fatty acids?
It's like giving your skin a fountain of youth. And believe me, you need it.
If you want to impress your neighbours, grow it and they won't believe their eyes at these edible flowers, which will give your dishes a gourmet touch.

Jean-Marcel : Ah, yes, my dear Jean-Pierre, but do you know the delicious story of the mirabelle plum?
They're little bombs of sweetness hidden in our orchards. They're there, unassuming, but as soon as you bite into them,

Bam! A burst of flavour in your mouth!

Prunes are a thing of the past, mirabelles know how to be dried in style. They're like movie stars who never get old,
and you need it too...

And believe me, if you want to liven up your parties, serve Mirabelle plum tarts. The guests will dance the tango with their taste buds!
And that's not all, mirabelles are like loyal friends. They come back every year, without asking for much in return. That's unconditional love!

Jean-Pierre : Ah, but you talk about mirabelles as if they were the queens of the orchard. But don't forget, borage will never let you down. It's always there, hardy and faithful, whereas mirabelle plums can let you down every other summer, and goodbye to your fountain cure!

Jean-Marcel : Ha, ha, you're right about one thing: the loyalty of borage. But just between you and me, once you've tasted a mirabelle plum jam, you'll forget your own name and, let's face it, borage may have a lot going for it, but it's not nearly as tasty as a beautiful mirabelle plum tart sitting proudly on the table.

Jean-PierreAh, it's a never-ending debate, but one thing is certain: we would never have had it without the lesson in humility and kindness that our members have given us.
These mirabelle plums and this borage are much more than simple gifts, they are the symbol of sharing, friendship and solidarity, the values that bring us all together at the platform.
