Today’s FINAL challenge as part of the Edible Advent Calendar!
Can you name this treat?
Leave your answer (product and location) in the comments section below. Hint: this shop has not yet been featured in the advent calendar and is in the 12th arrondissement. It specializes in products from the region of France that’s most closely and visibly associated with Christmas.
The reader who has accumulated the most victories by the end of the day will receive an edible present from me. I’ll post the results tomorrow, along with a final Christmas photo.
YESTERDAY’S WINNERS: Those traditional Christmas cakes called Bûches de Noël came from Stohrer (rue Montorgeuil), and were identified for a full point by Shelli, Zeva Bellel, Lil, Sophie, Christopher, Kelaine and Jamie Samons. Janet picked up half a point for correctly naming the log but not the location. The full description of this delicious thing can be found on the Budget Travel Paris Page.
