France vs Belgium (Düsseldorf, 18:00) by Servais in c/football@lemmy.world

[-] Servais@jlai.lu 3 points 4 months ago

Alright, that was okay I guess.

Belgium is still renewing the team, it seems more promising now that the last World Cup.

Good luck France for the rest of the tournament!

[Ask Europe] People speaking languages with a small population on Lemmy, how do you deal with the dilemma of posting in English or in your other language? by Servais in c/yurop@lemm.ee

[-] Servais@jlai.lu 3 points 9 months ago

Merci pour ton message, très intéressant!

You indeed have a point about multilingual being the norm on other continents. Hopefully that is slowly going to change with the newer generations more exposed to other languages.

That's very interesting. I'll probably post another topic along those lines in the coming days, I expect people spaeking languages further from English (Slavic or Romance languages) would have different opinions than German and Dutch speakers.

[Culture] Recipe: Crêpes de la Chandeleur (Candlemas Pancakes) for Candlemas Day - Did you celebrate it? (www.lavenderandlovage.com)

Candlemas in those countries is also considered the day of crêpes.[18] Tradition attributes this custom to Pope Gelasius I, who had pancakes distributed to pilgrims arriving in Rome.[19] Their round shape and golden color, reminiscent of the solar disc, refer to the return of spring after the dark and cold of winter.[20] Even today, a specific symbolism can be associated with preparing the crêpes. A tradition is to flip the crepes in the air with the right hand while holding a gold coin (such as a Louis d'or) or some other coin in the left hand to have prosperity throughout the year. One has to ensure that the pancake lands properly back in the pan.[19]
