That looks so amazing but as someone who grew up in France it also gives me anxiety wondering if I’ll choke on the “Feve”. I imagine it must be illegal to hide those bloody things in the galette these days. I hope so!
I’ve never heard of anyone chocking on a fève, usually it’s a fairly big piece of ceramic that you will inevitably feel when biting and/or chewing. There may be a risk for children under 4 years but you are expected to prepare the food specifically for them anyways, aren’t you. I think this is a blown up fear that I frequently read from Americans.
The first few galettes I ate as a child back in the 70’s I remember the fèves were quite large. Then as I suppose they went into more mass production they seemed to just use these small white plastic vaguely human shapes, like a tiny white plastic opaque jelly baby shape. In those days no one much cared about choking hazards in food. There were still coins in Christmas puddings for example. I always thought it was weird to put objects in food (even if the fève had the power to make you “King” for a day 😁)
Side note, this is why Kinder eggs are banned in the US because they contain a “non-nutritive object” that could be a choking hazard.
