What’s this?
Oh my gosh, Montargis has got "dog’s droppings" (crottes du chien)?
In fact, it’s just the name of a chocolate speciality created in 1968: a chocolate with sugared almonds coated with nougatine and soaked in dark chocolate.
The little history
Well, this "dog’s droppings" are those of the famous Montargis' dog!
A legend about a nobleman who was murdered by a jealous friend.
His dog took revenge on him, by defeating the murderer during a duel...
