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. Thanks , I’ve just been searching for information approximately this topic for a while and
    yours is the greatest I’ve discovered so far. However, what concerning
    the bottom line? Are you positive about the source?

  2. You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to
    be actually something which I think I would never understand.
    It seems too complex and extremely broad for me.
    I’m looking forward for your next post, I’ll try
    to get the hang of it!

  3. Hi! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog.

    Is it difficult to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick.
    I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not sure where to start.

    Do you have any tips or suggestions? Cheers

  4. Zu kleine Schuhe nach sich ziehen unangenehmen Blasen am Fuß
    und Druckstellen, die im schlimmsten fall einige Tage lang auskuriert werden müssen. Mit zu großen Schuhen kannst
    Du hingegen unsachgemäß laufen. In diesem Artikel beziehe ich mich auf flache Strecken und Wanderwege.

    In solchen Fällen empfehle ich richtige Wander- bzw.
    Trekking-Schuhe. Welche Hersteller produzieren hochwertige Nordic Walking Schuhe?
    Wenn Du allerdings planst, einen Berg zu erklimmen oder viel bergab zu walken, bringt Dir die Abrollbewegung natürlich nicht viel.
    Bei Schuhen solltest Du niemals knapsen. Das gilt natürlich auch für Nordic Walking Schuhe.
    Die Mehrheit Hersteller bieten ihre Schuhe sowohl in Herren- als auch
    in Damen-Varianten an. Oder eben direkt Unisex-Versionen. Kann man Laufschuhe als
    Alternative nutzen? Sind wir: Ich selbst verwende beim Sport normale Laufschuhe.
    Soweit es mich angeht greife am liebsten auf renommierte Marken wie Reebok, Adidas, Ecco
    oder Asics zurück. Ich selbst sehe mich
    allerdings auch nur als Hobby-Nordic-Walker, der zwar
    sehr heiß dieser Sportart ist und jede Gelegenheit dafür nutzt, allerdings muss ich bezüglich der Effizienz keine 100 Prozent erreichen. Von Straßenschuhe oder High-Heels
    würde ich allerdings mit Sicherheit abraten. Ich habe den Sport zum Test auch schon mit normalen Straßenschuhen ausprobiert, allerdings bin ich dabei nicht in den richtigen Rhythmus gekommen. Das nichts da optimal – das
    weiß ich. Bereits kurze Zeit später taten mir die Füße weh.
    Beim Kauf von Sportart Schuhen solltest Du die verschiedenen Eigenschaften bedenken, die
    ich Dir in diesem Artikel nähergebracht habe.
    Allerdings: Wenn Du erstmal nur in die Sportart reinschnuppern möchtest, kannst Du Laufschuhe ohne Gewissensbisse verwenden. Kaufe die Schuhe unbedingt in der passenden Größe und gehe keine Kompromisse
    ein. Deine Füße werden es Dir danken!

  5. Hey! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform
    are you using for this website? I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems

  7. You really make it appear really easy with your presentation however I
    in finding this topic to be actually one thing that I feel I would by no means understand.

  8. This is the right website for anybody who wants to find out about
    this topic. You realize so much its almost tough

    many years. Excellent stuff, just great!

  28. Über dieses Thema berichtete ARD-Brisant am 28.
    Dezember 2020 um 17:15 Uhr. Auch in Thüringen (Weltkindertag am 20.
    September) und Sachsen (Buß- und bettag 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 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.
    Grund dafür ist 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: Festtag, 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 kontrollieren lassen, ist vielleicht auch wieder ein ausgedehnter Strandurlaub möglich.

  29. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering
    what all is needed to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog
    like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet
    smart so I’m not 100% positive. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

  30. Hey there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers?
    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing
    several weeks of hard work due to no back up. Do you have any methods to stop
    hackers?
