One thing I did enjoy when living in England was the traditional Sunday lunch. We would either head to our local pub and enjoy a roast or head to our friends and spend most of the day eating, drinking and talking. This was partly because one of our friends was French and she did enjoy as much as we did sitting at a table for half the day enjoying the food and conversations about nothing and everything!
Today I made a simple rhubarb tart.
The day before, I made the crust which was a sweet shortcrust pastry. Basically, I whisked together 125g sugar with one egg and a pinch of salt until it became frothy. I then added 250g of white flour which I first mixed with a wooden spatula then with my hands.

Explain the tradition
The Mary Glasgow website published an article La Galette des Rois which explains the tradition in France with its audio version to download (all for free).
