Here’s a great NY times article about France’s feast of the Epiphany,
during which everyone gorges on galettes—round pastries with almond
paste and trinkets inside.
Whoever finds the trinket in the galette (the fève), is king/queen
for the day. People have written books about fèves past and
present. One guy has a collection of 60,000. Each year there’s a
fève guidebook.
La France est la bombe.
