Remarks
Kervallon is an area of the city of Brest (France), which in the late 18th century was a market garden where many vegetables were grown. Today, it's a very pleasant area, partly wooded, and home to numerous allotments.

Dublin fruit scones
Scones originated in Britain and Ireland. The Irish version is often made plain and traditionally served with tea. Scones are more of a bread than a cake, eaten split in half and spread with butter or jam, for example. There are also sweeter versions and scones with dried fruit, like the ones I have made here.
