Voici leurs histoires.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ken Wilman et sa chienne boxer Madge se prom\u00e8nent quotidiennement sur la plage de Morecambe, dans le nord-ouest de l&rsquo;Angleterre, histoire de humer l&rsquo;air du large. L&rsquo;animal joue avec tout ce qu&rsquo;il trouve, comme de nombreux chiens. Mais ce jour de janvier 2013, alors que les embruns fouettent les visages des rares promeneurs pr\u00e9sents sur la plage, Madge s&rsquo;excite sur une \u00e9trange pierre gris jaune. Ken la ramasse. Elle est vraiment tr\u00e8s l\u00e9g\u00e8re par rapport \u00e0 son volume et puis il y a cette odeur forte, un m\u00e9lange de senteurs marines et d&rsquo;\u00e9manations animales. Il vient de trouver de l&rsquo;or flottant&nbsp;; une p\u00e9pite d&rsquo;Ambre gris de trois kilos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>L&rsquo;ambre gris se forme dans l&rsquo;intestin des cachalots \u00e0 partir des fragments non dig\u00e9r\u00e9s de nourriture, souvent des calamars, leur plat favori. Il est ensuite r\u00e9gurgit\u00e9 par l&rsquo;animal. Eh oui, l&rsquo;ambre gris, qui permettra aux grands parfumeurs de fixer les fragrances les plus subtiles est en fait du vomi de baleine. Il peut s&rsquo;agir aussi de d\u00e9jection, mais dans ce cas, le produit sera trop d\u00e9grad\u00e9 pour pouvoir \u00eatre utilis\u00e9 en parfumerie. Apr\u00e8s cette s\u00e9quence po\u00e9tique, revenons \u00e0 la trouvaille de Ken Wilman et de Marge, la chienne boxer. Tr\u00e8s vite, la nouvelle a circul\u00e9 dans le petit milieu du luxe et, quelques jours apr\u00e8s sa d\u00e9couverte, Ken s&rsquo;est vu offrir 50 000 euros par un parfumeur fran\u00e7ais contre son bloc d&rsquo;or gris<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Pour la petite histoire, il faut aussi savoir que des amateurs consomment l&rsquo;ambre gris dont ils saupoudrent certains mets qui acqui\u00e8rent ainsi, para\u00eet-il, une saveur des plus subtiles \u2013&nbsp;Le roi Charles II d&rsquo;Angleterre en saupoudrait ses \u0153ufs. Le gastronome fran\u00e7ais Brillat-Savarin proposait, quant \u00e0 lui, une recette de chocolat \u00e0 l&rsquo;ambre gris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Des pr\u00e9parations \u00e0 d\u00e9couvrir, mais pour les bourses bien garnies uniquement, car \u00e0 pr\u00e8s de vingt mille euros le kilo cela fait cher la bouch\u00e9e.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source&nbsp;:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>BBC News<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>courrierinternational.com<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>wikipedia<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>De l&rsquo;or flottant Si l&rsquo;oc\u00e9an prend beaucoup aux hommes, il arrive aussi qu&rsquo;il leur restitue une petite partie de son butin.
