So, just on the end of the second day of my adventure here in Paris we have - so me and Carsten - a new vital thing learned: not only the general counting (I remember my entry of over a year ago , keyword four-twenty-Eighteen ...) and directions ( straight means far right ...), but also in volume terms, the French are quite illogical. First the story, then the calculation:
evening after closing time at L'Oreal (yep, are in line with our Swiss habits as the last in the booth and go only when they really all Visitors want to have out there), we see a walk in the drizzle of Aulnay and looking for a Resto, find some point a very cozy pub with a great menu, in which we la bière à pression delighted in the stages 25cl, 50cl and 100cl.
course, we now enthusiastically in the very friendly service each a "demi liter," So what you feel as passes for "Haublitter" or "Chibu.
The lady brings us to our - of course discreetly restrained - a stake of 2.5 per horror Dezi!
Ok, we think, may even times that you misheard the hospitality sector.
A few discussions later (many were all the so not 'in only grad mal 250ml Stella Artois, but a few Dienstzeitanektoden fit in), we need cash replenishment, and order again two halves, in the hope that we, then, this time correctly understood be.
ask to speechless what is going on we were held up but when then only as two small 25cl-Müsterchen were, and evaporates as the small amount of beer and our shock wore off we decided to try one last time, half a liters of beer to get hold of.
This time I asked, but for exactly what it is with the small amount is all about. So watch out!
A "Demi" is just half a beer, not a half bottle, as this would be a pint.
So now the calculation:
1 l / 2 = a whole beer = 1 pint
1 liter / 4 = half beer = 1 Demi
I am glad that I THE now know!
