These are an easy option for satisfying the kids or for vegetarians seeking something they can enjoy. There is even an annual Crepe festival where they have a contest to see who can make the biggest one; apparently the record is 98 centimetres. Galette pancakes are thicker and made with buckwheat; these are often used as a base for meat, fish and cheese toppings, or even wrapped around a hot sausage, best eaten with a complimenting glass of Breton cider.<\/li>\n<li>Breton butter is highly regarded and often flavoured with sea salt. This means that the local biscuits and cakes have very strong flavours. Try the slow melting Gateau Breton, or the gooey Kouign aman, better known as French butter cake. Layers of butter and sugar are folded in and baked slowly; it makes a delightful end to a meal especially if you sip a glass of quality brandy with it. Breton French custard tart is normally filled with prunes or raisins, and is delicious on its own but goes well with fresh cottage cheese or fruit marmalades.<\/li>\n<li>Seafood should be high on the list if you\u2019re dining out in Brittany. The oysters and mussels here are divine, particularly the Moules Marinieres, which are extremely highly regarded. The bustling fishing ports are well worth a visit, and if you find a nearby restaurant and order a fish meal, it is sure to be fresh and superb. The shellfish will be cooked in white wine, shallots and parsley, and usually served in bowls with lovely French bread. Served with a superb Muscadet wine, your taste buds will love you for it.<\/li>\n<li>Cotriade is a popular savoury fish stew in Brittany, which does not contain any shellfish; it is made using different types of fish and potatoes to make it heartier, and served with a fresh toasted baguette.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Quite simply, there\u2019s no better way to experience Brittany than by its delicious food.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tasting the local food and wine whilst on holiday abroad is as much a part of the experience as laying on the beach, slapping on the sun tan oil, or snapping pictures whilst visiting all the local attractions.
