On the first day of the Paris transit strike as M. and I crossed the Pont Neuf, we saw workers pour into the Metro. M. said they will be packing into the few trains available "comme des sardines". I said we have the same expression - "packed in like sardines"! M. was surprised, but it's a universal concept afterall.At the Salon du Chocolat I saw lots of chocolate sardines stacked high. Herrings too...
They're all filled with rich chocolate ganache. These sardines will traditionally end up in many French Christmas stockings.
All the chocolate fish were being sold at the Il de la Re Chocolats' stand, made on a popular resort island off the west coast of France near La Rochelle.
Getting to the chocolate show entailed stacking into the Metro...
Very much like those chocolate sardines - The tin closes.
Inside the sardines are mashed but for a good reason.

Very much like those chocolate sardines - The tin closes.
Inside the sardines are mashed but for a good reason.
Their modus operendi is to avail themselves of the stacks...
And stacks of delicious chocolate awaiting them at the Salon du Chocolat.
