youYou can’t bypass the cows. Already at the airport, the central mural draws the attention of travelers to the Year of the Jersey Cow, which was apparently celebrated in Jersey in 2001. It is hard to imagine that Jersey Cows will celebrate more than usual in Jersey, because it is everywhere. There is a group of bronze cows in the middle of the pedestrian area, and enthusiastic children can climb patiently. For decades, they have been crowded with people in all kinds of souvenir shops-plush, porcelain, things printed on them. They stood choked and contemplated on the pastures all over the island. Jersey cows were once the main export product of the small island of Channel Island, as well as the cider that flowed into England in incredible quantities. The circulation of cider has now ceased, but the business with cows is still doing well. In the world, as we know from proud residents with cow awareness, Jersey dairy cows rank second in terms of their distribution, second only to Holstein Simmental dairy cows.And, although they are significantly less milk Give. But what kind of!
Fortunately, as an island, there are many beaches around Jersey, and the beaches are not far from the nearest ice cream shop. At the ice cream stand, you can see with your own eyes that the problem with Jersey cows or their milk does not come out of nowhere. In order to feel the rich and creamy flavor of Jersey milk ice cream, it is best to start with a more neutral flavor, such as vanilla, and then try sea salt caramel. Either way: you understand after the first ball. What comes out of Jersey cows is closer to cream than milk, and will ruin home ice cream shops for weeks.
Land belongs to the crown

At night, you can see the lights of the French coast and the lighthouses gleaming from the mainland. During the day, when the weather is clear, it is mostly a gray piece of land in the distance.Today Jersey belongs directly to the British crown, that is to say, it does not belong to the United Kingdom and has never officially belonged to I -Even if other countries including Germany disagree-and usually do their own thing anyway. If you yearn for the UK but don’t want to talk about Brexit all the time, then this is your best choice.
The Germans occupied the island Second World War He dug tons of meaningless tunnels. Although the French would invade and seize the island for themselves, it was in vain: Jersey belongs to the royal family, the queen.
