Fun and games with food, but don’t joke. French will never joke about food 😉 Gallette des Rois is a traditional dessert ‘game’. There’s a hidden ‘toy’ of sort inside the cake. The person who ends up with the toy is the King. This is a traditional eat for the first New Year weekend; modern way: any time in January or even in December.

 

How to play?

Send the youngest person to climb under the table (or if the person is not a child, blindfold the person)

Cut the cake in equal pieces

Let the youngest decide who gets which piece e.g. first = Marie, second = Pieter etc.

For safety reason, do not attempt to waffle down your piece of cake. Eat slowly to find the toy 😉

*The idea is to have surprise feeling in your mouth

Whoever finds it is the king and gets a crown 😉

You can either bake your own or buy it from the supermarket (France). Please note to only use food safe toy or toy designed for gallette des rois.

  1. According to my study, after a in foreclosure process home is bought at an auction, it is common with the borrower to be able to still have some sort ofthat remaining balance on the personal loan. There are many loan providers who make an effort to have all fees and liens paid by the up coming buyer. Nonetheless, depending on selected programs, restrictions, and state laws and regulations there may be quite a few loans which aren’t easily settled through the switch of financial products. Therefore, the duty still rests on the consumer that has obtained his or her property in foreclosure process. Thank you for sharing your notions on this website.

  2. Things i have seen in terms of computer system memory is there are specific features such as SDRAM, DDR etc, that must match up the requirements of the motherboard. If the personal computer’s motherboard is very current and there are no operating-system issues, updating the memory space literally normally takes under a couple of hours. It’s on the list of easiest computer upgrade processes one can picture. Thanks for discussing your ideas.

  3. When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get several e-mails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service? Thanks!

  4. I have discovered that intelligent real estate agents just about everywhere are Promotion. They are recognizing that it’s not just placing a poster in the front yard. It’s really about building associations with these traders who sooner or later will become buyers. So, after you give your time and effort to aiding these vendors go it alone : the “Law of Reciprocity” kicks in. Interesting blog post.
