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!
Definitely believe that which you said. Your favorite justification appeared to
be on the internet the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you,
I definitely get annoyed while people consider worries that they
just do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without
having side-effects , people can take a signal.
Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
I do not even know how I ended up here, but
I thought this post was good. I do not know who you are but certainly you’re going to
a famous blogger if you aren’t already 😉 Cheers!

Hi there, just wanted to tell you, I loved this post.
It was practical. Keep on posting!
Good post. I am facing a few of these issues as well..
I believe everything posted made a ton of sense. But, think on this, what if you were to write a
killer title? I ain’t saying your information is
not solid, but suppose you added something to maybe get a
person’s attention? I mean French Food –
Bryanna Vs The World is a little boring. You should peek at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they create article titles to grab viewers interested.
You might add a video or a related picture or two to grab readers
excited about what you’ve written. Just my opinion, it could make your blog a little bit more
interesting.
I like it whenever people get together and share opinions.
Great blog, stick with it!
