this pie belongs to an old French peasant.
is forced to sell its copper to pay taxes on his family land which is too expensive for its financial means!
he cleaned his old heart against copper for sale! because the old French farmers are like the horns with their natural patina (and also with verdigris)!
they think that copper shine has lost its authenticity!
IT TOLD ME:

Now it looks like the pie, when my grandmother cooked it when I was little!

but he understood that buyers of fine brass as it does not have the same taste as him!
