This was fascinating! I know, or at least thought I knew, about the 13 desserts, but was not aware of all of the religious symbolism. I’ve always thought it would be fun to do, even if we don’t have all of the usual components here.
And how interesting that you buy honey from Aveyron! Where do you get it? The producers you mentioned are not that far from where we live, but I hadn’t heard of them before. But I just looked it up and there are 1,109 beekeepers registered here! That doesn’t mean they are all making and marketing their own honey, but it does seem to me that we have a lot to choose from here.
Happy Christmas, Betty ! Believe it or not, Carrefour used to market the honey under its “Reflets de France” brand, but no longer does so. It was notable for its dark and very full taste. We’re now enjoying honey from a small producer in Isola, in the mountains about 90km north of here; also dark and distinctly floral. That’s an astonishing number of beekeepers in your area!
Love this ! Joyeux Noël 🎄
Merci, et joyeux Noël à toi aussi !
