Petit Grégory - C’est arrivé près de chez vous

Filed under: the latest, Video - =lloyd= @ 12:02 am

Safe to say the best Belgian film ever made, so far, is “C’est arrivé près de chez vous /Man bites dog“. If you haven’t seen it already, lift your lazy butt and find yourself the dvd, it’s classic must-see material, and you know it.

The film is famous for a whole lot of reason (the extremely low-budget, Benoit Poelvoorde in his break-through main role, etc. etc.) But what makes it even extra special, is the cocktail Ben is drinking in the film, called “Le petit Grégory”.

It goes like this:


Ingrédients :
- 1 olive
- 1 morceau de sucre
- 4 cl de gin
- 1 ficelle
- tonic (schweppes)

“Une larme de Gin… une rivière de tonic… et ensuite, la petite victime.
Composée d’une petite olive, d’un petit morceau de sucre, et d’un petit bout de ficelle.
Et nous avons … le petit grégory.”

C’est un cocktail qui se réalise à plusieurs puisque le but est qu’une tournée générale doit être payée par le premier qui voit remonter son olive à la surface. More info.

  3. Nog niet maar als notoir olijvenfijnproever en gin-tonic liefhebber plan ik dat na de tweedezitperiode toch eens te doen ja.
    Geef toe dat het een aardig concept is! Origineler dan a cup of tea, niet?

  5. It’s quite a sad story actually if you know where the “petit grégory” comes from… Benoit is from Namur where a boy (grégory) drowned himself with a weight on him in the river and afterwards came back to the surface because the weight wasn’t enough. That explains the whole game with the olive etc… anyway, for those who would not know that yet :)
