Alan's favourite pastry


Here's a picture of Alan's favourite pastry. I realise it looks a bit like a photo from a 1960s cookery book and therefore not very appetising but what can you do? The pastry is filled with custard and has a handful of fresh blueberries on top. Mmmm. It comes from what is absolutely the best bakery in Montreal- Premiere Moisson. "Premere Moisson", according to my giant French/English dictionary, means 'First Harvest'. Glad that I finally looked that up, it's been annoying me for some time and 'moisson' isn't in my pocket dictionary. Premiere Moisson have a couple of locations in the city. The one closest to us is on Av. Mont-Royal, just down from the metro station. We buy bread, jam, cakes, quiche, sausages and ham from them. They ain't cheap but their produce is superb. For example, you could eat 3 or 4 of their small, very rich chocolate cakes and not feel ill. A strange commendation perhaps but what I mean is that because they don't use the usual mix of additives, emulsifiers and so on, their products ALL taste homemade. Ahh, good health in a box...perfect.
