I wore my chef’s hat and decided to innovate: cranberry juice for rum; honey for maple syrup; peanuts for pecans; tea biscuits for vanilla wafers.

The recipe, as it was given to Bernard and as he always makes it, calls for Thé Brun cookies, store-bought tea biscuits that are common in France.

Inside, LCD screens flashed the names of corporate sponsors: domestic brands of incense, motorcycles and tea biscuits.

Well, knock me over with a tea biscuit — the “Downton Abbey” movie, long rumored, is actually a thing.

In fact, on a recent trip back to the island, the only request was that I bring rich tea biscuits and Tetley teabags.
