Not only the photos can remind us about stay in France, let's try to revive the «tasty» memories! After all, we tried a lot of great French plates and pastry there.
For example, the taste of the great multi-coloured sweets, the macaroncakes will remind us about the trip!
Macaron, the top of French cookers’ art, is 2 round-shaped biscuits of almond powder and airy whisked egg whites connected by very delicate cream filling immediately «melting» in your mouth.
(These delicious little almond cakes if desired can be prepared also on your own). This dessert is so delicious that several regions of France argue for the title to be its «homeland»!
(However, the savoury varieties of macaron are also made – with addition of truffle filling or cheese, olives, etc).
These treats are not too high in calories (30-35 kcal), they are eaten by couple of pieces, so those watching weight should not worry!
And one can find the macaron cake almost anywhere in the country – in any cafe, pastry shop. They are also for sale in all the French McDonalds.
In addition, they have funny-sounding name reminding us of the Italian macaroni. Aren’t they «relatives»? Let's puzzle out how after all the name of the small almond cakes should be pronounced.
So, macarOn or macarOOn?
The matter is that the French name of the delicacy sounds like «macaroon» (fr. macaron). The confusion arose because «macaroon» is the name of the American almond cakes having almost nothing in common with the French one. (In appearance and taste these desserts are completely different). So, to avoid the confusion in the names it's still worth to call the French almond cake as «macaron».
