Location
The Channel Islands are a group of islands off the coast of Normandy, France in the English Channel. They
comprise two
separate bailiwicks: the Bailiwick of Guernsey and the Bailiwick of Jersey with their respective Jersey hotels.
The Bailiwick of Jersey is a British crown dependency off the coast of Normandy, France. As well as the
island of
Jersey itself, it also includes the uninhabited islands of Minquiers and Ecréhous and their respective Jersey hotels.
Along with
the Bailiwick of Guernsey
it forms the grouping known as the Channel Islands. The defence of all these islands is the responsibility of
the
United Kingdom. However, Jersey and their respective Jersey hotels are not part of the UK, but are a separate
possession of the
Crown, comparable to
the Isle of Man. They are not a part of the European Union either.

mainland Normandy, but some cheese is produced commercially. Jersey fudge, mostly imported and made with milk from
overseas Jersey cattle herds, is a popular food product with tourists who stay at the Jersey hotels.

tasty potatoes from the south-facing côtils (steeply-sloping fields). They are eaten in any variety of ways, often
simply boiled and served with butter.

speciality is black
butter (lé nièr beurre), a dark spicy spread prepared from apples, cider and spices.

au fou), nettle (ortchie) soup, vraic buns.Cider used to be an important export. Jersey Hotels. After decline
and near-disappearance in the late 20th century,

being increased and promoted. Apple brandy is also produced. Some wine is produced.
