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!

    Falls noch Fragen oben in unserer Bewegungsmelder-Kaufberatung offen geblieben sind, werden Sie eventuell
    hier fündig. 6.1. Worin liegt der Unterschied zwischen dem
    Bewegungsmelder für außen und innen? Bewegungsmelder helfen dabei, nicht verborgen laufen zu müssen. Sowohl der
    Bewegungsmelder (außen) als auch der Bewegungsmelder
    (innen) sind gleich aufgebaut. Theoretisch gibt es zwischen diesen beiden Varianten keinen Unterschied
    in ihrer Funktion. Während der Bewegungsmelder
    für innen bei Regen die Nässe durchlässt, bleibt der Bewegungsmelder
    für außen stabil. Die Schutzstufe IP44 ist Minimum und
    schützt das Gerät vor Regen. Wenn Sie den Bewegungsmelder richtig anschließen, darf dieser draußen nicht durch normale
    Regennässe kaputt gehen. Allerdings haben sie ein anderes Gehäuse.
    6.2. Lohnt sich ein Bewegungsmelder (außen) solar-betrieben?
    Wenn Sie einen Solar-Bewegungsmelder bevorzugen, dann werden Sie überwiegend eine Kombination aus Bewegungsmelder und
    Solarleuchte finden.
