Brilliant!

Older folk seem to keep trim - they seem better at portion management - a little of what ou fancy does you good!Emma Calinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02661631701340292529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776872181596975599.post-42254160727837290072013-06-07T10:53:28.600+02:002013-06-07T10:53:28.600+02:00Painm au chocolat, pain aux amandes or just pain -...Painm au chocolat, pain aux amandes or just pain - they all (and many more) do it for me. I expect you know your posting probably provokes plenty of envy, Emma.Having spent a year in France as a student and another when my wife did a teaching exchange, I like to keep topping up my francophilia. One thing, though - unless my eyesight's worse than I thought, despite all this pain and pâtisserie consumption, the French don't seem to have the same levels of obesity as we do.Bill Kirtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345949773423764808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776872181596975599.post-90513910222294667082013-06-06T21:26:08.657+02:002013-06-06T21:26:08.657+02:00No, no, you've both got it wrong - bread WITH ...No, no, you've both got it wrong - bread WITH chocolate is better than bread alone hence am partial to a chocolate pain or deux for breakfast. Why is it the French, and the Germans, do bread so much nicer than we get in the UK. Have been searching for years for a true rye loaf here. Will have to keep searching and tasting. One day I will get to France, meanwhile, Emma, your posts keep enticing me there. Keep on doing it.

Or rather, you put it better than I could have. Bread and croissants are better than chocolate IF you are in France. Without butter, jam or anything else they taste simply divine! I'm away to France myself shortly, thanks for the heads up on the weather, by the way. I'm expecting to gain half a stone. What can I say? Other than, when in France do what the French do - and that's enjoy the pleasure of eating and drinking!Linn B Halton and Lucy Colemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17819488236541746062noreply@blogger.com
