I'm just as happy to call them Custard Slices. If I were to come to the UK I think I would have to have one. Haven't seen any in the "sticks" where we live! Maybe its time for a trip to the capital for something other than DH visiting the periodontist!Bushladynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-72372128564063539482021-08-20T19:18:28.259+01:002021-08-20T19:18:28.259+01:00Couldn't find a patisserie today but there is ...Couldn't find a patisserie today but there is a rather lovely Sicilian Ice Cream Parlour which has just opened up locally and they also sell Cannoli so I'm now having one with my cuppa in your honour!!Have a good weekend Ang and Bob. xBetween Me and Youhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04863155145862706966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-16033934515818961502021-08-20T12:56:43.699+01:002021-08-20T12:56:43.699+01:00This sounds terribly ungrateful, but I find Millef...This sounds terribly ungrateful, but I find Millefeuille really difficult to eat with either a fork or hands so I tend to avoid them! But I concede that they are tasty! My patisserie item of choice would be an Eclair BUT I prefer the English version with cream inside and a more set chocolate layer on top as when I have had them in France, they have chocolate cream inside and more of a sauce on top. I quite like a Religieuse in France or a Paris-Brest. <br />Hmmm...just about to go past a Patisserie Valerie in Woodford ...Kezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705356707599121605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-58582403388431996592021-08-20T10:36:12.025+01:002021-08-20T10:36:12.025+01:00When we visited my Nana for Sunday tea, she would ...When we visited my Nana for Sunday tea, she would always buy the same cakes for each of us: Me & my siblings would have a sort of palmier sandwich with cream and jam, my dad always had an eccles cake and my mum a "custard slice" (I used to feel my dad got hard done by!) Mum would always turn it on its side to cut it carefully and elegantly into three pieces, so custard didn't squirt out everywhere! <br />I do have to resist temptation when I go to buy bread - our boulangerie does rather nice cakes. Not very, very refined, but certainly tempting enough! If I buy a couple of fruit tarts, I feel I've taken the healthy (?!) option, despite the delicious creme pat that is part of the tart!Fat Dormousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03840571411333027928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-53926706758606684232021-08-20T10:08:55.352+01:002021-08-20T10:08:55.352+01:00I am sure that during your time in France, you hav...I am sure that during your time in France, you have sampled the delights of many patisseries!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-32820071921516931642021-08-20T09:26:40.086+01:002021-08-20T09:26:40.086+01:00Well, I dont need breakkfast now!

I think they hold up surprisingly well with time, despite the lack of modern devices such as mobile phones etc, which is due to a good background storyline.<br />Sara Paretsky's series featuring (Victoria) V I Warsholski is also good, especially the early books, if you haven't yet tried it.Spade and Daggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447641240079673493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-55107986112327904962021-08-20T07:29:33.379+01:002021-08-20T07:29:33.379+01:00I'm shopping today, think you've 'forc...I'm shopping today, think you've 'forced' me to buy the supermarket version!Sue in Suffolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166036914348424622noreply@blogger.com
