Looks delicious!
Who got the "fève" ? 😁
I did!
Congrats ! King or queen for a day 👑

The one I bought, pistachio flavoured 🤤
Qu'est ce que ça me manque la galette des rois ! C'est dur parfois d'être expat.
Je suis au Japon, si tu peux acheter la pâte feuilletée qui est une galère à faire soi-même, c'est pas compliqué.
Toujours pas eu une part.. Je vais voir si c'est pas trop cher d'en acheter juste une part j'ai pas les moyen pour une galette entière seul
I was very disappointed to find out the Feast of Epiphany is only a feast in the sense that something might be a "feast" for the eyes, or in this case perhaps the soul.
Here in Norway the thirteenth yule-day is just the day we throw out the yule-tree and take down the decorations. We should start having cake after we're done cleaning!
Same in England, at least traditionally. There's a song about the Twelve Days of Christmas etc. I think the old thing to do was cook two Christmas cakes and keep "feeding" one of them with brandy until Easter, when you covered that with marzipan to make something called a Simnel cake. Also I think you were supposed to actually make those cakes at the beginning of October, so it's a pretty obvious example of a historical practice of preserving the harvest, with religious significance attached after the fact. I think I might get back into it, I love a bit of traditional food culture.
One of my fav cakes, looks amazing!
I had this cake for the first time yesterday and it was absolutely fantastic (and there's some leftovers I will gobble up tonight)!
That looks so amazing but as someone who grew up in France it also gives me anxiety wondering if I'll choke on the "Feve". I imagine it must be illegal to hide those bloody things in the galette these days. I hope so!
I've never heard of anyone chocking on a fève, usually it's a fairly big piece of ceramic that you will inevitably feel when biting and/or chewing. There may be a risk for children under 4 years but you are expected to prepare the food specifically for them anyways, aren't you. I think this is a blown up fear that I frequently read from Americans.
The first few galettes I ate as a child back in the 70's I remember the fèves were quite large. Then as I suppose they went into more mass production they seemed to just use these small white plastic vaguely human shapes, like a tiny white plastic opaque jelly baby shape. In those days no one much cared about choking hazards in food. There were still coins in Christmas puddings for example. I always thought it was weird to put objects in food (even if the fève had the power to make you "King" for a day 😁)
Side note, this is why Kinder eggs are banned in the US because they contain a "non-nutritive object" that could be a choking hazard.
I seent it on that baking show! Good stuff.
