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!

  1. Hi there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using?
    I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m having a hard time making a
    decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your design and style 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!

    a little information? I mean, I don’t wish to tell you how to
    run your website, however suppose you added a title that grabbed people’s attention? I mean French Food
    – Bryanna Vs The World is a little vanilla. You should glance at
    Yahoo’s front page and watch how they create article headlines to get people interested.
    You might try adding a video or a related picture or two to get readers interested about everything’ve written. In my opinion, it would bring
    your posts a little bit more interesting.

    well I’m not writing all that over again. Anyhow, just wanted to say great blog!

  14. Howdy! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform
    are you using for this site? I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because
    I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at options for
    another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  16. Hi! Do you know if they make any plugins to help with SEO?
    I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good gains.
    If you know of any please share. Cheers!

  17. Auf die weise, dass SEO Marketing sehr nachhaltig ist und sich gut ein bisschen weniger
    Unternehmensgröße und Strategie anpassen lässt,
    ist diese Disziplin insbesondere für junge Unternehmen interessant, die sich im Markt etablieren möchten. Aber
    auch Unternehmen, die stets auf Neukunden angewiesen sind,
    sollten SEO Marketing betreiben. SEO Marketing ist bei des Online Marketing eine relevante Größe mehr
    Umsatz zu erzeugen. SEO Marketing ist für alle
    Unternehmen hilfreich, deren Kern-Zielgruppe in geordneten Bahnen der Customer Journey
    für die Informations- oder Kaufphase Suchmaschinen nutzen. Für wen ist
    SEO Marketing sinnvoll? Somit ist SEO Marketing sicherlich
    für alle E-Commerce Anbieter relevant, da langfristig Traffic, der über
    SEO Marketing zustande kommt, günstiger ist als Traffic, der
    über Suchmaschinenwerbung (SEA) Maßnahmen generiert wird.
    Mithilfe von SEO Marketing und einer spezifischen Fachexpertise können so Interessenten aufmerksam gemacht werden.
    SEO Marketing ist auch für Freiberufler oder Fachspezialisten interessant, die sich positionieren und ein Themenfeld sauber besetzen müssen. Auch im B2B Marketing spielt SEO eine große
    Rolle, da auch im Businessumfeld Suchmaschinen intensiv genutzt werden,
    um sich über Lösungen zu informieren, Anbieter zu identifizieren und Anfragen auszulösen.

  19. Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could

    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.

  20. Amazing! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It’s on a completely different topic but it has pretty much
