Gardengirl Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 What are they called in French, please. Do the French have them ? I haven't seen any. I've bought some for our N Y's Eve party in France.Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerdesal Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 [quote user="Clair"]We don't do crackers in France.[/quote]I went to a French Christmas party (only non French person there) a couple of nights ago and crackers, with the usual paper hats and silly jokes were in evidence. Admittedly the party was not in France but it was certainly a French dinner party, with cooking by the French hostess etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Âme Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 The 'epicerie anglaise' near me calls them 'diables de noel.' I don't know whether this is an official or widely known name, but that's what they call them. Do you know about papillottes? They are chocolates in a foil twist. Inside each one is a wax-paper insert, with printed jokes or questions (cheap, cheerful & very entertaining) or epicurean quotes (the luxury end of the market). I splashed out on more expensive papillotes last year & was v. disappointed by the epicurean quotes! I much prefer the ridiculous joke questions in the 'moins cher' versions.
