To the French, April 1 is Poisson dAvril. The idea is generally the same as April Foolsto play practical jokes on othersbut they do so by attaching fish to unsuspecting others backs ( la a kick me sign).But what really interests me about the French interpretation of the holiday are the chocolates everyone gets to celebrate. You can find dime store bags of molded fish, clams, seahorses and the likeeither in milk, dark or white chocolate. But the top-notch chocolatiers also get in on the fantasy and fun.Indeed, these are Patrick Rogers molded chocolates. And here are some beauties from Jean-Paul Hevin. Youll notice this poisson de bon thon is 28 eurosa $37 chocolate fish. Your neighborhood patisseries offer less expensive treats. They just dont have same omigod factor as the masters.
