My wife and I treated that store like a museum, spending several HOURS there. In the end, all I bought (because I was travelling) was some strawberry preserves with real gold flakes in it.

We stayed in an apartment on the place Saint-Sulpice, and Marks & Spencer was just around the corner. We, too, took advantage of their markdowns, including tuna and corn sandwiches (bizarre sounding, but good!) for less than a euro. I've been inspired by many of your posts, including ones about the Grand Palais (and the café of the Petit Palais) and Anne Maisonneuve's shop, where I bought several pairs of earrings and two t-shirts. <br /><br />Keep those posts coming! <br />Bethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-42562603318818214882017-07-18T01:20:47.811-04:002017-07-18T01:20:47.811-04:00This is deeeliscious!This is deeeliscious!Postcards from Phillyhttp://postcardsfromphilly.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-6995832611397664642017-07-17T23:58:51.996-04:002017-07-17T23:58:51.996-04:00I wish you could too Kirrabelle!

Danish Pastry History
Although today know...Voila!<br /><br />Danish Pastry History<br /><br />Although today known world-wide as "Danishes" these pastries did not originate in Denmark, but were brought to Denmark by Austrian bakers, particularly from Vienna in the 1850's when Danish pastry workers went on a long-term wage strike. These bakers were unfamiliar with Danish baked goods so they used their own traditions with flaky, buttery dough filled with a variety of custards, nut, fruit, jellies, and almond paste. It did not take long before these pastries were popular throughout Denmark and the demand persisted after the strike ended. This is why these types of pastries are called Viennese (wienerbrød) in Denmark.Parisbreakfastshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03558314043814894010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-74717237481069477512017-07-16T14:14:22.627-04:002017-07-16T14:14:22.627-04:00Where did the American idea of the 'danish'...Where did the American idea of the 'danish' come from?
