Fooduary Day 4: Mixed Berry Tart

Tarts are an old, old, old kind of food. However it wasn’t until the invention of enriched dough (shortcrust) in the 1550s that the pastry outside (previously called coffin because it was effectively a box-plate for the edible center) was meant to be eaten with the filling. With this one it's more about the colors being a mixed berry palette than something more literal like some of the others but this is supposed to be a for fun challenge so I'm not sweating over it. Maybe the others are too cheesy?

(plan de Truschet et Hoyau, dit plan de Bâle, vers 1550, détail)

petite géographie poétique des villes, les perspectives des rues

il y a des rues qui partent du coeur intime des villes pour rejoindre leur extérieur lumineux et qui dans un même élan le dévoile au regard ; elles semblent quitter la ville plus que d’autres, aller au-delà d’elles-mêmes, pour préparer en secret un horizon miniature qui finit par déclencher le désir d’en atteindre la légende ; d’autres inversement qui ferment l’espace aimé, qui le replie sur lui-même, qui semble protéger le regard de toute attaque extérieure, qui transmettent le centre à tout notre être, qui nous diluent dans son plan bienveillant pour que nous devenons centre nous-mêmes
