When in Bordeaux, apart from the glorious wines, one must absolutely try the famous "canelés" - small moist pastries with a slightly crisp caramelised rhum exterior.

Canelés were invented in Bordeaux, and were traditionally cooked in individual copper pans which had channels running all around, hence their name. Once cooked, they were flambéed with rhum. The best pastry shops still make them this way...
