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!

  10. Die faltbare Kofferrampe ist im handumdrehen einsatzbereit.
    Nach einer gründlichen Reinigung lässt sie sich wieder an jedem beliebigen Ort verstauen. Wir bieten die faltbare Kofferrampe für viele Einsatzzwecke an. Besonders beliebt ist ihre Ausführung als Rollstuhlrampe.

    Sie eignet sich gut zum Mittransport im Auto.
    Wie beschwerlich die täglichen Wege werden können, merkt man erst,
    wenn man auf einen Rollstuhl angewiesen ist.
    So haben Sie überall einen praktischen Helfer für Rollstühle,
    Kinderwagen, Handwagen oder Buggys dabei. Bordsteinkanten,
    Stufen und Treppen werden plötzlich zu unüberwindbaren Hindernissen. Sie ist so leicht, dass man sie auch direkt am Rollstuhl mitführen kann.
    Die Rollstuhlrampe ist in allen Ausführungen zusammenklappbar.

    Sie eignet sich damit hervorragend zum Mitführen direkt am Rollstuhl.
    Wir bieten die Rollstuhlrampe in einer Länge von 60 – 213 cm an. Die kürzeste Variante hat ein Gewicht von gerade einmal 5 Kilogramm.
    Damit wird jede Bordsteinkante und Stufe leicht überwindbar.
    Die Rollstuhlrampe eignet sich auch für Kinderwagen, Buggys oder Handwagen. Die PKW Auffahrrampe ist ein äußerst wichtiges Werkzeug.
    Durch den eingebauten Wagenheber wird die PKW Auffahrrampe besonders praktisch.
    Sie macht alle Arbeiten sicher und ungefährlich, die unterm Fahrzeug
    stattfinden. Damit lassen sich auch anspruchsvolle Arbeiten ausführen, bei denen ein Rad frei
    in der Luft hängen muss. Der Austausch von Stoßdämpfern oder Reparaturen am Lenkgestänge wird durch unsere PKW Auffahrrampe besonders einfach und sicher.
    Zusammengeklappt ist sie aber immerhin ausgezeichnet
    verstaubar. Die klappbare Rampe ist etwas größer als eine faltbare Kofferrampe.
    Die klappbare Rampe besteht aus zwei robusten Hälften, die
    zentral durch ein Scharnier vernetzt sind. Durch einen integrierten Tragegriff lässt sie sich leicht zum Einsatzort
    tragen. Wir bieten die klappbare Rampe bis zu einer Belastbarkeit von 680 Kilogramm an. Diese besonders robuste Ausführung hat eine
    integrierte Mittelstütze. Sie ist ideal für den Autotransport oder
