For today's countdown to Halloween post, let's talk about food again. For that reason. All
year round, I don't care about French fancies one bit. I remember discovering them for the first time, before a lecture one Thursday afternoon during my first year at uni here, and I was no impressed. tIt's just sugar
poured over a bit of cake. But come October and they change the name
into Fiendish fancies and I'm a sucker for them. Maybe it is the pumpkin colours, maybe it is the packaging with the jack o's, but Mr Kipling, you got me there. Given the quantity of
sugar in a single one of them, calling them Fiendish is far more
fitting. And thus it is far more fitting to eat them for Halloween.

You and my husband! He bought a box this week and is enjoying them. I find them way too sweet for my taste, but the box and the orange cakes are fun.
They've got your number, Guillaume!
