Mrs White's Unstung Hero anti mosquito featured in the Tweed Pig Blog, 23rd of July

Image
Mrs White's Unstung Hero The delicious and tender milky white flesh of Tweedy is like a grand banqueting hall for mosquitoes. Arriving in Venice one time, barely minutes into the trip, I proffered payment to the driver of my taxi boat and noticed the hand doing the proffering covered in the blighters, chewing away at me like 'pigs at taters'. Nasty ones too. It set a precedent for the next few days. For a later trip to India, then, it seemed sensible to buy some army-strength mosquito repellent in advance. I sprayed it on once and it felt so awful on the skin I decided to take my chances. Luckily, I wasn't bitten for the whole trip. No mosquitoes around, apparently. However, with nicely comic irony, the plane back to England was bizarrely swarming with them. I was trapped and bitten to hell. How to keep the mosquitoes at bay without spraying on a layer of sticky chemicals? Our dear London friends at Roullier White have the answer: Mrs White's Unstung Hero . Unstung...

Eight & Bob

Image
Eight & Bob was originally created by Albert Fouquet, a French aristocrat, in an upstairs room of his chateau with the assistance his butler Philippe. Albert created the fragrance for his own personal use, but was known to occasionally gift it to friends among the French high society. One night in the summer of 1937 Albert met a precocious young American called John F. Kennedy, who at the time was touring Europe in a convertible sports car. Albert was very taken with John and so decided to gift him a bottle of his special fragrance with the note “In this jar, you will find the dash of French glamour that your American personality lacks." After John had returned to America he wrote a letter to Albert thanking him for the perfume and requesting eight more bottles “and if production allows, another one for Bob”. Albert complied with Johns request, and after he'd found some beautiful bottles in a Parisian pharmacy he labelled them "Eight & Bob". ...
