Day of the Three Kings.
Tradition in France is to eat these all month long in January, mainly January 6th, and in each glaette is a "feve", or a little porcelain charm. Whoever gets the slice with the feve is King or Queen for the day and can choose their King/Queen if they wish. Usually, the youngest child goes under the table and looks up at the cake and decides who is to get each piece.
In my house, Malo got it at school, Alex got it twice I think (after Julie graciously gave it to him when he had a meltdown over it), and I haven't eaten any normal galettes because of, well, the gluten. I just love this so much. (Can you hear the sarcasm?)
My host mom did make a gluten free one with the special flour which was very nice of her. So I did get to join in on the fun once. And the sell little tart ones at a cute window bakery in Paris which was WAY OVERPRICED but I had to try it.
And Marks & Spencer (the greatest store in Paris, remember?) sells gluten free desserts. Yay!!! This is a traditional English cake thing and I totally saw them eating it in Downton Abbey. I felt cool.
