Gastronomy
Dishes traditional in Guernsey cuisine are the Guernsey gâche, a rich fruit bread, gâche mêlaïe, apple pudding, bean jar, a type of cassoulet of pork and beans, and conger soup.
A local delicacy is the ormer (Haliotis tuberculata) - a variety of abalone harvested from the beach at low spring tides. Other seafood such as spider crabs, mussels, lobster are popular.
In July 2006 smoking in enclosed public places (including pubs and restaurants) was banned, a law put in place to protect workers' right to a healthy working environment.

Famous quotes containing the word gastronomy:
“To stroll is a science, it is the gastronomy of the eye. To walk is to vegetate, to stroll is to live.... To stroll is to enjoy, it is to assume a mind-set, it is to admire the sublime pictures of unhappiness, of love, of joy, of graceful or grotesque portraits; it is to plunge one’s vision to the depths of a thousand existences: young, it is to desire everything; old, it is to live the life of the young, to marry their passions.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
