Kouign-amann was, I think a way of making a treat with some left over bread dough by adding as much sugar and butter as could be managed and rolling and folding it into a kind of feuilleté. It can be very good, this one wasn't bad, we ate it in small pieces throughout the week. The best ever were from a baker's in south-west Finistère, where you bought it by weight and it was literally dripping sugary butter. Sometimes it comes with pieces of apple in it but there's really no justification for that, why risk not clogging up your arteries with potential sources of anti-oxidants? ;~)Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-3319593370558765492013-07-26T17:37:30.520+02:002013-07-26T17:37:30.520+02:00Yes it's me again but I don't want it to b...Yes it's me again but I don't want it to be.

BY AuthorTHIS IS WHY...Pâtisserie Au Kouign-Amann <br /><br />BY AuthorTHIS IS WHY WE'RE FAT | DateOCTOBER 22, 2012 <br /><br /><br />The first thing that comes to mind when I think of my beloved Pâtisserie Au Kouign-Amann is butter – a shh load of butter. Your first impression will be nothing less, and that’s before you actually sink your teeth into one of their glorious pastries. Mouthwatering whiffs of bubbling butter escape and stretch far out the humble shop, putting you deep into a trance as you inch closer and closer to the entrance. As soon as you swing the door open, your nostrils flare, sparking your eyes to roll and your head to tilt back in pleasure. Watch the F-bombs, it’s a tiny place with all customers within an earshot. Awkward but totally understandable if you let one out, especially after getting physical with the goods.<br />Next time I visit 'Le Plateau Quartier' in Montreal I will look for that place.<br />Quel beau chapeau!

Don't worry about Lyse/Lise, I think she uses both spellings anyway, it's a pseudo not her real name. I take it you didn't try the Gallo blog?<br /><br />Soize - hey, bonjour! Desolée de te rater.

Ha...Gosh, it was nearly a case of <i>fondre en larmes</i>. Half a lifetime ago we celebrated our wedding anniversary at the restaurant which appears in Lise's preceding post (<i>Guérande et la Brière</i>); stayed the night at one of the converted cottages. The evening didn't start too auspiciously; I ordered champagne and the demure farm-girl attending our table seemed to burst into tears; must have been the accent; the same thing often happens here in Hereford. Please compliment Lise on her straightforward French which was a delight to read; why, she writes like a native.<br /><br />No need to apologise for all those self-portraits. Fella with a big nose established a precedent. I believe he went on to bigger things.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.com
