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!

    Was sagt eigentlich die Stiftung Warentest hierzu? Leider hat die Stiftung Warentest noch keinen Bewegungsmelder-Test gemacht und noch keinen Testsieger gekürt.

    einige schöne Anregungen. Mit seiner Hilfe können auch
    Bereiche unter dem Melder, die zuvor nicht abgedeckt wurden und

    it’s rare to look a great blog like this one nowadays..

  10. I’ve been browsing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting
    article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made good
    content as you did, the web will be a lot more useful than ever
    before.

  11. Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I
    could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.
    I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this.
    Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

    If you know of any please share. Many thanks!

  13. Good day I am so happy I found your site, I really found you by
    accident, while I was researching on Askjeeve for something else, Regardless I am here
    now and would just like to say thanks for a marvelous post and a all
    round interesting blog (I also love the theme/design), I don’t have time to
    go through it all at the moment but I have bookmarked
    it and also included your RSS feeds, so when I have
    time I will be back to read a lot more, Please do keep up the awesome job.

  14. I believe what you typed was actually very reasonable.

    But, think on this, what if you wrote a catchier title? I ain’t
    saying your content isn’t solid, however suppose you added a headline to possibly grab folk’s attention? I mean French Food
    – Bryanna Vs The World is a little plain. You might peek
    at Yahoo’s home page and note how they write post headlines to grab people interested.
    You might try adding a video or a related pic or two to grab people excited about everything’ve written. In my opinion, it
    would bring your posts a little livelier.

  15. Just wish to say your article is as surprising.
    The clarity in your post is just great and i could
    assume you are an expert on this subject. Well with your permission let me to grab your feed to keep updated with forthcoming post.
    Thanks a million and please carry on the gratifying work.

  16. I’ve been surfing online greater than three hours
    today, yet I by no means found any interesting article
    like yours. It is beautiful worth enough for me.

    In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made excellent content material as you probably did,
    the internet can be a lot more useful than ever before.

  17. It’s the best time to make some plans for the future and it’s time to be happy.
    I’ve read this post and if I could I wish to suggest you
    few interesting things or tips. Perhaps you could write next articles referring to this article.
    I want to read more things about it!

  18. Aw, this was a really good post. Taking the time and actual effort to create a superb article… but
    what can I say… I put things off a whole lot and never manage
    to get anything done.

  19. I really like your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you design this website yourself or did you hire
    someone to do it for you? Plz respond as I’m looking to design my own blog and
    would like to know where u got this from. thanks

  20. I am not sure where you are getting your information, but great topic.
    I needs to spend some time learning much more or understanding
    more. Thanks for excellent information I was looking for
    this info for my mission.
