I made Breton galettes this morning for breakfast but forgot to take pictures, so now I'm showing you some galettes I had before in France.
Galette is a term referring to various types of crusty cakes. Like Italians are particular about different types of pasta, French people are particular over the differences between a galette and a crepe. :)
I talked about crepes in my previous posts - they are usually made with wheat flour with a sweet filling, while Breton galettes are made with buckwheat flour and have a savoury filling in most cases.
Interestingly, buckwheat is not related to wheat or other grains in any way, and it's a nutritious fruit seed. Since the dough doesn't have much taste itself, it's matched with any savoury fillings.
今天早餐做了法式布列塔尼荞麦饼，但忘记拍照，我现在就来通过以前在法国各地拍的照片介绍一下。
这种荞麦饼产自法国西北部的布列塔尼，用料有鸡蛋、荞麦面等，一般做成三角形或方形，馅料是咸味的，跟以前说到过的甜味可丽饼不同。还有一种厚一点的酥饼，吃起来有浓郁的蛋奶香。

Once in Lille of northern France, I tried this galette called the Popeye, as it's filled with the magical powerful spinage, haha:
有次在法国北部吃了这种叫作大力水手的薄饼，因为里面有菠菜，哈哈！
