French Word of The Day

Galette


Literally translates to "patty", but is used to describe flat cakes. They have a filling, and they hide a little man, or baby, or some little trinket, very much like Mardi Gras' King Cake. They are quiet tasty, and apparently very common. They have had them twice since I've been here.

  1. i thought that meant cookie... I guess cake is similar. At least I remember that one from my short time in paris.
