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. I think what you typed was very logical. However, what about this?

    what if you added a little information? I ain’t suggesting your
    content is not solid, however suppose you added a title
    that grabbed people’s attention? I mean French Food – Bryanna
    Vs The World is a little plain. You could peek at Yahoo’s front page and see how they write post headlines
    to grab viewers interested. You might add a related video or a pic or two to grab people excited
    about everything’ve got to say. In my opinion, it would make your website
    a little bit more interesting.

  2. Very great post. I just stumbled upon your weblog and wished to say that
    I’ve truly enjoyed browsing your blog posts. In any case I will be subscribing in your rss feed and I am hoping you write again soon!

  4. I have been browsing on-line greater than 3 hours lately, but I by no means found any fascinating article like
    yours. It’s beautiful price enough for me. Personally, if all webmasters
    and bloggers made just right content material as
    you did, the net will likely be a lot more helpful than ever before.

  5. An impressive share! I have just forwarded this onto a
    friend who was doing a little research on this.
    And he in fact bought me breakfast due to the fact that I discovered it for him…

    lol. So allow me to reword this…. Thanks for the meal!!
    But yeah, thanx for spending the time to discuss this matter here on your internet site.

  6. Hmm is anyone else encountering problems with the images on this blog loading?
    I’m trying to figure out if its a problem on my end
    or if it’s the blog. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

  7. I love your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you
    create this website yourself or did you hire someone to
    do it for you? Plz reply as I’m looking to construct
    my own blog and would like to find out where u got this from.
    cheers

  15. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what

  16. Toenail fungus is a very common condition that affects 3% – 12% of the total population. Older people are
    more likely to have it than younger people. Over the age of 70, as much as 50% people
    are affected. It is therefore important to know the best toenail fungus treatments.

  25. Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to
    my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed.
    There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off
    topic but I had to tell someone!

  26. Hello, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just
