We had warned the kids that the Caribbean is popular for many
reasons, but food is not generally among them. That was before we found the
French islands. Here exists not only great sailing, fine weather, white
beaches, turquoise waters and interesting snorkeling, but also wonderful food. We,
admittedly, are basing this solely on our experiences at the patisseries, but if
they are the bellweather for the rest of the cuisine, it’s pretty amazing. Tom
found a bakery at St Bart’s where he was chided for trying to buy croissants at
11, because they are “ready at 7:30”. The humidity wreaks havoc on crispy layered
pastries like croissants, so they don’t lower their standards; they are sold in
the morning. Tomorrow we plan to indulge in crepes, so we’ll keep you posted on
the results.
