We joined up with JJ and Marianne to go out to dinner for a big fat red steak. The chef had what looked like an indoor braai on which he grilled the meat. Graham's was a bit underdone for his taste so he got up and slapped it back on the grid. Not sure what the owner thought, bet you wouldn't get away with that in many establishments, the chef would probably come at you with a humungous carving knife. We had our first gallete which is made of puff pastry and can be plain or filled with frangipane, an almond-flavoured paste. They tuck away a little charm inside and once the cake is cut and served, the person who survives choking on the charm, becomes king (or queen) and is given a paper crown. Marianne had the lucky piece that night. (The morning we left, JJ baked another galette for us to have with champagne before setting out, so had a true home baked one!)
