We had this delicious chestnut cream log cake from Picard for Xmas desert.
No, it's nothing to do with the bald guy from Star Trek.
It's France best kept open secret.
What is Picard, if not the Star Trek guy, one may enquire?
It is only THE BEST FROZEN FOOD EVER!!!!
When one gets oneself to a Picard,
one may be unimpressed by the insipid clinical look of a Picard shop.
The name itself is uninspiring and doesn't tell much about its line of business.
BUT Picard makes the best frozen food.
They have like gourmet meals frozen, they have like fancy poultry cooked in fancy ways, their frozen vegs are green when you defrost and cook the, they got like apertifs, entree traiteur, viennoiseries, canapes, exotique cuisines, lobsters, scallops, galettes, soups, white sausages, blood sausages, australian wild boars, deer, ducks, foie gras, different kinds of mushrooms.....
You don't need to know how to cook!
All you need to know is how to switch on the oven or the microwave!!!
I will do a more thorough Picard post the next time in France.
Peace out!
