Today is Chocolate Eclair Day

Sweet choux dough, chocolate, cream and icing; this light but oh-so tasty pastry snack is the star of Chocolate Eclair Day. Originating from France in the nineteenth century, eclairs are known a favorite cake all over the world.

When I was young we used to have frozen ones from Bejam. You had to wait for them to thaw, but I remember eating them with solid frozen cream in.
Disgusting sums it up

 

naughty but nice...

 

Bejam frozen eclairs...I'd forgotten their unique taste and texture...

 

no it isn't - see other post.

 

Bejams, now there's a blast from the past

 

They were disgusting weren't they?

 

I wish I'd checked earlier to see what day it is
There were some lovely looking ones in a bakery we were in this afternoon, Ms.T wouldn't let me have one ......... she's a meanie, kept muttering something about watching my blood sugar levels.

 

I like the idea of today - might have to get one (or two).

 

Might have to stay away from the shops in case I'm tempted to get some ... love 'em!

 

Go on Mrs Moosey spoil yourself

 

Funnily enough I had eclairs this week for the first time in aaaages (possibly years! ) - they were delish!

 

A generous helping of a curious white emulsion enclosed in a brown wrap of reconstituted cardboard and topped with what may have been a byproduct of the paint industry, Congo Brown in colouration and as muddy to taste.

In answer to your question....yes!
