What types of foods are eaten on St Jean de Baptiste day?

Answer 1

There is a tradition of making petits pains de benits(blessed loaves of bread) on St Jean Baptiste Day for the local priest. These small loaves are made in the shape of a heart, to symbolize the love Jesus has for his flock, or in the shape of a star, to symbolize the birth of Jesus. Otherwise, you would eat, or serve, the kind of celebratory foods typical to your area.
