came to stay at our house in
Northern California to perform at
Sierra Jr. College
near by.
I asked them
"what do you want for breakfast"
I was thinking that they would probably tell me
bagels, croissant and fruit.
No, they told me
"Chocolate"
Hot Chocolate?
I asked
So I whipped out my trusty little packet
of Swiss Miss with
marshmallows.
They must have thought me
extremely
lame.
As I look back
I think me extremely
lame!!
So what did they mean Chocolate?
chocolate cake
chocolate bar
or
pain au chocolat?
So there you have it.
I should have served a
big bowl
of thick hot chocolate
with some of these divine
pain au chocolat!!
Yep I should have.
Pain au Chocolat,
the classic french pastry a croissant filled with some nice chocolate,
a typical breakfast in France.
The recipe for the average bowl of "chocolat" requires a bowl...not a mug, 3/4 filled with warm milk and then 3 big spoonfuls of instant chocolate mix. It's that simple. Nesquik makes a great instant "chocolat". When ordering a "chocolat" in a fine establishment you will be served a mug with melted chocolate in it and then hot milk on the side to dilute as desired. Very rich and very very good!!!
Oh yes, the french love "Chocolat" for breakfast. My husband has it every morning. It's a big bowl of hot chocolate and in that bowl you can dip your croissant, pain au chocolat, our your toast. All breakfast pastries can be dipped in your "chocolat". :) It's a traditional winner. :)
