Flamm

It was around a year ago that the Tasty Tuesday was around Pizza, one of life’s greatest gifts – and one of my very favourite foods. Sometimes though, you want something simpler, lighter – a little fresher, a little more French.

Here then is the Flammekueche – a thin-crust flatbread that hails from Alsace, a region in the North of France along the Rhine and just a stone’s throw from Germany. The region has shifted between French and German control for centuries, so it’s got a culture influenced by both. Quite possibly its most famous food is the Flammekueche (Flammkuchen in German, and Tarte Flambe in the rest of France) and it’s a genuinely delightful thing; a thin crust, spread with a layer of Crème fraiche- and then almost always covered in lardons (French bacon), onions and scallions. It’s lighter and crispier than pizza – but just as moreish. I’ve had a pretty decent one at the Neighbourgoods Market in Braamfontein – but the caveat here is that if you do venture there, you’re bound to run in to an army of hipsters.

    “but the caveat here is that if you do venture there, you’re bound to run in to an army of hipsters”
    I can hear it now:
    “Ja, man, I only eat Flammekueche.”
    “What is Flam…Flammi…ki…?”
    “Seriously, bro? If you don’t know what Flammekueche is I don’t even.”
