A friend has just come back from, erm, Brussels, bringing with him a bag of petits financiers, little cakes likemadeleines. So I had one for breakfast. Now it's true I didn't didn't dip it in my tisane because I don't like soggy cakes, don't like crumbs in my tea and wasn't drinking tisane anyway but builders' brew. All the same, nothing happened - or hasn't so far. Should I retire to bed for twenty years, surrounded by pillows and ashtrays? What have I missed out? Advice, anyone?
