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. I don’t even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was great.
    I do not know who you are but certainly you are going to a famous blogger if
    you are not already 😉 Cheers!

  2. Hello are using WordPress for your site platform? I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and set
    up my own. Do you require any html coding knowledge to make your own blog?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  3. Über dieses Thema berichtete ARD-Brisant am 28. Dezember 2020 um
    17:15 Uhr. Auch in Thüringen (Weltkindertag am 20. September) und
    Sachsen (Ruhetag am 17. November) ist noch ein längerer Herbsturlaub mit Brückentagen möglich.
    In Baden-Württemberg, Bayern, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Rheinland-Pfalz und dem Saarland winkt immerhin zu Allerheiligen am
    1. November ein verlängertes Wochenende – ein Montag.
    Ein gesetzlicher Feiertag ist er aber nur in Baden-Württemberg, Bayern, Hessen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Rheinland-Pfalz und im Saarland sowie in einigen Teilen Sachsens
    und Thüringens. Ausgehen von Fronleichnam: Der Feiertag fällt auf Donnerstag, den 3.

    Juni, und bietet somit weitere Chancen für Brückentage.
    Im Herbst können Arbeitnehmer nicht auf viele Feiertage
    hoffen: Mariä Aufnahme in den Himmel, der Tag der Deutschen Einheit und auch der Reformationstag fallen jeweils auf einen Sonntag.
    Wer dort sogar vom 14. Mai bis zum 4. Juni Urlaub einreicht, kann übrigens Himmelfahrt und Pfingsten bestmöglich
    mit Fronleichnam verbinden – und durch den Einsatz von 14 Urlaubstagen einen Urlaub von 25 Tagen erreichen. Wer sich
    auch die vier Tage danach frei nehmen möchte, kann daraus
    einen insgesamt neun Tage langen Urlaub machen. Allen grund
    haben die Corona-Pandemie im kommenden Jahr geregelt kriegen lassen,
    ist vielleicht auch wieder ein ausgedehnter Strandurlaub möglich.

  10. 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.

  12. Außerdem erreichen Sie so auch wirklich die Zielgruppe, die Sie auch erreichen möchten. Denn es bringt Ihnen nur karg,
    wenn Sie zwar immensen Traffic generieren, diese Nutzer Ihre Website aber sofort wieder verlassen, weil er nicht ihre Suchintention erfüllt.
    Dahingegen, mittelfristig ist das sogar schädlich für
    Ihre Rankings und Ihren Traffic. Die Keyword Recherche – auf Basis
    Ihrer Zielgruppeninformationen ist eine der ersten Schritte.
    Relevant bedeutet, dass das Keyword deren Zielgruppe genutzt und gesucht
    wird. Faktoren wie Suchvolumen können nicht
    allzu viel dazu gehören über Tools wie ahrefs, Sistrix,
    GoogleAds oder als kostenlose Alternative Ubersuggest recherchiert werden.
    Zunächst muss ein relevantes und informationsbedürftiges Keyword
    – oder vollkommen Thema – ausgewählt werden. Auch dafür eignen sich Tools, aber
    auch Google selbst. Welche weiteren Schlagworte nutzen die Seiten? In der Folge müssen themenverwandte Keywords recherchiert
    und bewertet werden. Wie lange ist der Text?
    Wie ist der Inhalt aufgebaut? Welches Content-Format wird genutzt
    (Blog, Video, Liste, Shop)? Die Ergebnisse können in Themen-Clustern zusammengetragen werden. Google ist ein guter Kanal, wenn nicht gar sogar der Beste,
    um verwandte Keywords auszufiltern. Im Beitrag müssen diese Themen auf der tagesordnung stehen. Aber
    scheuen Sie keine neuen Inhalte.
