Yule log was not always sweet: in the Middle Ages, the French gave the most ordinary log as a gift for Christmas. In Paris and Bordeaux, for example, there was a special position at the city council - the supplier of Yule logs. Closer to the holidays, he would put together a group of townspeople who would go into the forest for firewood, and then sell it in the squares, arranging something like Christmas tree markets. And after the Christmas mass, the log burning in the fireplace was "fed" with wheat grains and poured with sweet wine or cherry kirsch to appease good luck for the year ahead. Today, Bûche de noël is a festive cake or roll, and only its shape reminds us of the old days: closer to the holidays, the windows of pastry and chocolate boutiques turn into an exhibition of logs decorated with tons of chocolate balls, marzipan towers and pralines.
