Virtually everything has a patron saint – even painful hemorrhoids. It was once believed that if a person did not pray to the canonized Irish monk St. Fiacre, who was said to protect one from such maladies, that they would suffer from hemorrhoids. If you chose not to pray to St. Fiacre and came down with them, you were sent off to the monks - who would put a red-hot iron up your anus (presumably while chanting). Alternatively, you could sit on St. Fiacre’s famous rock, the spot where the seventh-century monk was miraculously cured of his own hemorrhoids. Later treatments were far less painful and more effective – soaking in a hot bath.

While their main.courses were undoubtedly bland, with copious amounts of dried fish and milk, their desserts were very tasty. The south of the country is famous for its apple tartar, with the north being the home of the rhubarb tartar.

Of the Tartar desserts, it is widely acknowledged that the rhubarb tartar is the tarter of the two tartars.

Tartars were notoriously difficult to deal with. Napoleon once complained that meetings with them always left a bad taste in the mouth ("tartar dans la bouche") which became the common name for dental plaque, invented by dentists in the 17th century.
