We like any excuse to eat chocolate, so we were very happy to learn that in France April 1st involves chocolate. Children are given chocolate fish and instead of saying, "April Fool!" after pulling off a trick you say, "Poisson d'Avril!"
Part of the fun is to tape paper fish on people's backs without them knowing. Lillian took this to a whole new level one night while I was making dinner. She made no secret of what she was up to...and she had to ask for tape.
Look! My Daddy bought me a chocolate fish bigger than my head!
They eat chocolate fish here in NZ, too. But they are marshmallow chocolate fish and they don't have a special chocolate fish day like the French do. Maybe the French brought the idea here and the Kiwi's made it their own.
Hello, is Pierre wearing some kind of electrified voodoo trousers?
