French Food

In the future, I’m going to talk about snacks that are popular in a certain country. However, as I said before the French don’t snack so I went to World Market and bought non-snack food from France, and that’s what I’m going to talk about today! Though honestly when I went to France, I would snack on a baguette throughout the day (the family I was staying with would have thrown them away otherwise).

I bought a caramel candy, Carambar, which can best be described as a caramel tootsie roll. It has the shape, look and consistency of a tootsie roll but when you bite into it, all the caramel-y goodness comes out (I love caramel!). These were cute, fun, little candies! However, some of my family didn’t like how sticky and chewy they are so if you don’t like that then these aren’t for you. My favorite thing about them is the jokes that have inside of them! I love candies with jokes! My favorite joke:

Que dit une vache lorsqu’elle recontre un homme?

(What does a cow say when she meets a man?)
Bonjour, Meeeuuuhsieur!

Madeleines are popular tiny sponge cake-like cakes that have a unique shape. You should be able to find a madeleine baking pan at most kitchen supply shops. But I didn’t do that. I bought pre-made madeleines from World Market. They probably would have tasted better if I made them but they still tasted good. It tasted like a lemon vanilla sponge cake. They were a huge hit with my family too!

If you want to try making madeleines yourself, this looks like a good recipe (you will need a madeleine pan):

And then of course I needed to try French wine! I bought this fancy AF looking Chardonnay from France! I’m not generally a fan of wine but it was really good! My husband and I shared it (he was sick though so he got to drink out of the cup-looking thing that topped the bottle. I’m seriously in love with the packaging of this though!

And finally, we bought some French water. Once again, I’m really impressed with the packaging! Very cute! It tastes very different from the water I normally buy (I normally fill up a 5-gallon jug of water at a water station). It wasn’t better or worse, just different! I liked it. I’m one of those people that love the taste of water though. For those that are curious, it described itself as (I love how water companies advertise their water):

“SANA PER AQUAM or Health by Water is how the Romans described this non-carbonated natural mineral water which is unique to Ardèche (France) where the CHANTEMERLE flows under the volcanic rocks.”

Until the next adventure!

  2. For the reason that the admin of this site is working, no hesitation very soon it will
    be well-known, due to its feature contents.

  3. An outstanding share! I’ve just forwarded this onto a coworker who had
    been doing a little research on this. And he actually ordered me lunch due to the fact that I discovered it for him…
    lol. So allow me to reword this…. Thanks for the meal!!
    But yeah, thanx for spending time to discuss this matter here on your
    internet site.

  4. You could certainly see your skills within the article you write.
    The sector hopes for more passionate writers such as you who aren’t
    afraid to mention how they believe. All the time follow
    your heart.

  5. Wow that was unusual. I just wrote an very long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t show up.
    Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Regardless, just wanted
    to say great blog!

  6. I’ve been browsing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found
    any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for
    me. Personally, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the
    web will be a lot more useful than ever before.

  7. Hmm is anyone else encountering problems with the pictures on this blog
    loading? I’m trying to figure out if its a problem on my end
    or if it’s the blog. Any responses would be greatly appreciated.

  8. I’m impressed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a
    blog that’s both equally educative and engaging, and
    let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head.
    The issue is an issue that not enough folks are speaking intelligently about.

    I’m very happy I stumbled across this during my hunt for something regarding this.

  9. Hey, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues.

    When I look at your website in Opera, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some
    overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick
    heads up! Other then that, excellent blog!

  10. Hey there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with?

    I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m having a difficult time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most
    blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
    P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

  11. Nice weblog here! Additionally your site quite a bit up fast!
    What web host are you the use of? Can I get your affiliate link for your host?
    I desire my website loaded up as quickly as yours lol

  12. Dieser Anspruch ergibt sich aus den Sozialgesetzbüchern V und XI.
    Als technische Hilfsmittel kommen zum einen mobile Starr- oder Teleskoprampen oder feste,
    aufgelegte Rampen in Frage. Andrerseits sind fest im Gebäude installierte Rollstuhlrampen oder
    elektrische Treppen- und Hublifte denkbar. In dem fall ist die Pflegeversicherung der Leistungserbringer.

    Bei solchen Rampen handelt es sich um Sachleistungen der gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung.
    Damit Dir eine Rampe als Mobilitätshilfe bewilligt wird,
    musst Du eine Rezept einreichen. Sanitätshaus deshalb, weil die Rampe
    den Vorgaben des Gesetzes für Medizinprodukte entsprechen muss.

    Dadurch sollen Dein Schutz und die technische Sicherheit gewährleistet sein.
    Teilweise wird auch ein Kostenvoranschlag von einem Sanitätshaus
    verlangt. In den meisten Fällen wirst Du dann eine Rampe aus den Lagerbeständen bekommen, die der Leistungsträger
    in seinem Hilfsmittelpool hat. Ähnlich wie bei einem Krankenpflegebett oder einem Badewannenlift muss die Rampe später wieder
    zurückgegeben werden, wenn sie nicht länger gebraucht wird.
    Wie kann ich Dir helfen? Mein Firmieren Ömer
    Bekar und ich bin der Autor und Gründer dieser Seite.
    Gib es vielleicht ein spezielles Thema, worüber ich schreiben kann?

  13. Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this site.
    It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s hard to get that “perfect balance” between usability and visual appeal.
    I must say that you’ve done a excellent job with this.
    Additionally, the blog loads super fast for me on Internet explorer.
    Exceptional Blog!

  14. An outstanding share! I have just forwarded this
    onto a co-worker who had been conducting a little
    research on this. And he in fact bought me lunch because I
    stumbled upon it for him… lol. So allow me to reword
    this…. Thank YOU for the meal!! But yeah, thanks for spending some time to discuss this
    topic here on your blog.

  15. Hi there, just became alert to your blog through Google,
    and found that it is truly informative. I’m gonna watch
    out for brussels. I’ll be grateful if you continue this in future.

    Lots of people will be benefited from your writing.
    Cheers!

  16. I all the time used to read piece of writing in news papers but now as I am a user of internet therefore from
    now I am using net for posts, thanks to web.

  17. Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of
    any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.
    I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would
    have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into
    anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look
    forward to your new updates.

  18. First of all I would like to say superb blog! I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
    I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your mind prior
    to writing. I have had a hard time clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there.

    I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10
    to 15 minutes tend to be lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints?

    Thanks!

  19. First of all I want to say terrific blog!

    I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost
    simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints?
    Thank you!

  20. Its like you learn my thoughts! You seem to grasp so much about this, such as you wrote the ebook in it or something.

    I believe that you could do with a few % to force the message house a little bit, but instead of that, that is excellent
    blog. A fantastic read. I will definitely be back.
