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 😉
