But you can bet that when I’ve knocked out 12km before the market visit, I will be! On that last market visit of the summer, we didn’t actually need very much in the way of food so our hands were free to carry a snack as we wandered and browsed… And because I’d run 12km, I felt a viennoiserie was in order! While Neil is a purist and will often just choose a croissant au beurre, I always like to choose something a little different each time and that day, my eyes landed on the oreillettes aux abricots…Īlso called an oranais or an abricotine, an oreillette is essentially puff pastry filled with crème pâtissière and topped with apricots, then folded over and sprinkled with a little pearl sugar, this was exactly what I needed after my run. It started with a 12km run a few weeks ago in Nérac… Contrary to what you might think, I don’t eat croissants, chocolatines and viennoiseries every day for breakfast when I’m in France.
