Thanksgiving

At the market today, as well as visiting my usual vegetable stall where I can always find some beautiful fresh produce, I discovered a new bread stall. It’s actually a producer that I’ve followed on Instagram @claire.et.hugo for a few years now. They first got my attention as they used to own a red, double decker bus which they traveled the region in, as a pop up street food seller. It seemed such a great idea, but somehow we never got to visit it before they then opened a restaurant with a bakery on the side in Troyes. We have yet to visit it. But today they had a stall at the Bar-sur-Seine market, and it was absolutely brilliant.

We bought an Apple tart, (eaten already) a gorgeous baguette, very tasty with a great crust, and some fruit and nut bread, which was sold by its weight. I’m really looking forward to breakfast.

I admit that I didn’t think I’d bought much at the market, but Brian said the bag had got very heavy, and when we returned home and put it all out I have to say that there did seem to be quite a lot, a veritable feast. As we are Brits we don’t really celebrate thanksgiving, but we wish a happy thanksgiving to everyone that does. I do however remember celebrating harvest festival at school, and I felt my table of produce was definitely worth celebrating.
