Drinking toast-
 

Hey all-

Does anyone know any good drinking toasts? Preferrably french if possible but I can always translate one as well.

:cheers:

Here's to honor: Get on her and stay on her.



(Actually used at our wedding.)

I picture drinking toast, and it's not so appetizing...

Wish I had a good toast to contribute... :(

Milk toast is what immediately came to mind, I've always thought of French toast as a good eating toast, but, hey, if you're at that age, Vive le blender!

Try cinnamon raisin.

a votre sante ?

and I asked a friend and got this back:

Donna, I do not know any classic, time-honored or local colloquial toasts - a lifetime spent drinking coffee or scotch alone . . . .

However, if you friend wishes to please a French audience, she need only say one of the following:

A la Patrie! (in honor of the whole country of France)

Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite (with its patriotic echo of Ze Revolution)

A good start might be to do a Google search for toasts and then start wading through those results which might be French specific. Searching for "French Toasts" just brings a lot of recipes

I did that- I was not having any luck

French drinking toast, eh? What they usually say is Salut! or A votre santé!.

Any of these proverbs would work. If you need translation of any of them, let me know.

Now that I have a moment I will explain.

In August the Madam of our House will be retiring (Colorado Rogues) and the Mistress of the House will take her place. She plans to make some changes- for example we will be going for a more courtesan style as opposed to street walkers :)

She wants a french influence- Le Maison de la Joile Filles (feel free to correct my verbiage)

For the retirement and promotion ceremony we are planning a drinking ceremony- retiring the Madam and her House drink and introducing the new Madam and her House drink.

So I am looking for inspiration for the toast- honoring the outgoing and welcoming the incoming.

I need it in French- so I can learn it :) and will be offering the toast at the ceremony.

3894? If I write one- can you help me translate it?
