Ahm it's Galette des Rois today and I've just had a few whites and a couple of beers and apparently it took the the three wise kings 12 days to find the baby Jesus so they eat a cake made of puff pastry with a tiny wine taster* in it and then the youngest person hides under the table and the cake is cut but under a tea towel and then the youngest person has to choose the piece for each person but it's rigged because only French people win and I didn't get to be King for the day. So anyway I think they're making this up, are there any French people out there that can confirm this?
*Oh apparently it changes all the time. Bus Driver! Ambulance Man!
