*Did you know the nuns of the Annonciades convent made canelés in the 16th century? They collected wheat from the harbor and egg yolks from wine cellars, where the whites were used for fining wine. Bordeaux's port provided easy access to rum and vanilla, which the nuns added for flavor. These treats were distributed to the poor or sold for profit.
