It's so hard to go to Jean Talon market and try something new when there's a Wawel on site, with their perfectly fried and glazed doughnuts just calling you over. And of course Wawel also has poppy seed buns and poppy seed cakes and... as you can see, it's hard to go beyond Wawel and not go bankrupt. ;) This time, although I was already down to the bottom of my budget bank, I could not resist finally stopping by the small bakery located right next door to Wawel. La Fournée carries a tempting array of traditional French-Canadian baked goods, made with and practically soaked in some cases in -- you guessed it -- maple syrup. Think sugar pies, pecan tarts, in-season pumpkin pies, spice cookies, cheesecake; standing there and waiting to be served, it actually dawned on me that everything in this place looks so... good! I was torn between a small maple tart (a miniature version of the maple sugar pie; $2.95) or the maple square ($2.95). I came out with the latter. ^^
My mouth is watering more than that maple syrup! |
... And now, the next time I go to Jean Talon, I'll have to forego any meals that day and just go all-out on the baked goods! :P
