This is more of a mingle food than a typical soft bread. It is salty thanks to the ham and olives. If you cut the bread in small cubes it is better served as a starter or a side dish than on the breakfast table. It is possible to change to black olives if you prefer it over the green ones.
This French homemade cake made with puff pastry rolls and almond paste filling is a traditional cake served on the six of January. The cake has king crown on top of it and a porcelain figure hidden inside. The tradition is that the person who gets the piece with the figure will be king/queen of the day, and is allowed to decide the activities of the day. You can guess that this cake is very popular among French kids.
This is a traditional French Alsacienne tarte flambée (flammekueche). There is 2 other ways of topping as well, if you add some mushrooms it is called forestière, and with some grated cheese it is called gratinée. The bacon or fine pork should be with not much fat if possible, and cut in thin slices.
