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. Hola! I’ve been reading your website for a long time now and finally got the bravery to go ahead and give
    you a shout out from Austin Tx! Just wanted
    to tell you keep up the fantastic work!

  2. Oder: als SEO-Allrounder zu Beginn Aufbauarbeit im
    Unternehmen leisten, mehr Bewusstsein für SEO-Anforderungen schaffen und entsprechend flexibel und vielseitig sein. Zu den Kernaufgaben des SEO-Managers
    zählen unabhängig vom Unternehmenstyp immer die Nachfrage-, Keyword-
    und Wettbewerb-Recherchen in den Suchmaschinenmärkten. Sie
    müssen außerdem im Stande sein, umfangreiche SEO-Analysen und -Maßnahmenkataloge zu erstellen. Angesichts der Fülle an Rankingkriterien besteht dabei die Gefahr, sich in Details zu verzetteln oder Wichtiges
    zu übersehen. Zu den Hauptaufgaben im B2C- und ganz besonders E-Commerce-Bereich (Onlineshops etc.) gehört fast immer, über die Verbesserung der Rankings, mehr Besucher auf die jeweiligen Landingpages zu bringen und den Abverkauf zu steigern. Deshalb ist besonders die Fähigkeit gefragt, den Überblick zu behalten und das Wesentliche aus der Vielzahl der Möglichkeiten herauszufiltern. Sind die Online-Präsenzen von Unternehmen hauptsächlich auf
    den westeuropäischen Raum ausgerichtet, bedeutet das für SEO-Manager, dass sie sich erst recht auf die Rankings
    in den verschiedenen Bereichen der Googlesuche konzentrieren müssen. Bei B2B-Unternehmen stehen hingegen die Steigerung
    der Sichtbarkeit in der organischen Suche von Google und Co im Vordergrund und
    das meistens international. Bei international aufgestellten Websites oder
    Onlineshops müssen SEO-Manager getreu Region auch Experten für die Kriterien anderer Suchanbieter wie
    z. B. Yandex, Yahoo/Bing und Baidu sein.
