So another day in Paris calls for another little Parisian treat.
Today we have a box full of Macaron.
And if you spend any time on Instagram you've probably noticed that when your friends travel
to France they are posting pictures of these sweet little treats because they just look
so cute really.
So we got ourselves a box from a little pâtisserie and we're going to be sampling them.
And it looks like we've got four different flavors of this one.
Let's zoom in.
And I can't wait to dig in.
So what exactly are in these bad boy macaroon?
Okay, so I'm not much of a baker but I did read up on these.
And they are made with egg whites, icing sugar, regular sugar and then some almond powder.
And they also use a little bit of food coloring to give them different colours.
So as you can see here we've got four different variations with four different flavors.
Well, let's not waste any time.
Time for the taste test.
So the problem I have is deciding which one to try first.
I think maybe I'll try the green one.
You know what, it is probably civilized to like nibble on these but I'm going one bite.
One shot.
Can you guess the flavor?
Just wait.
Is that pistachio?
Who knows?
Maybe.
I'm pretty sure it is.
And wow are those ever sweet.
So tasty and really fluffy and as you're biting in to it surprisingly I wouldn't say crunchy
but it has a bit of a crispy exterior.
Alright, so I'm going with the pink one.
Look at you just taking nibbles.
All civilized over there.
Have a look.
So that is like a strawberry jam inside.
And we have a little visitor.
Hey, puppy.
Hi, puppy.
Oh, what do you see?
Hahahahaha.
No!
Now that has to be the funniest.
That is not even.
Is that a photo or video bomb?
Dog bomb!
That dog was trying to steal my food.
Dog bomb.
Alright, so where were we?
Well, I ate the strawberry before the dog took it away.
So let's try another one.
Let's go with this one.
What is this?
It must be vanilla, no?
Coconut?
Almond.
Almond?
Seriously?
That is almond, yeah.
Show a close-up of that.
It has a nice little jam in the middle.
As you can see the biscuit part is really fluffy.
It does have a crispy exterior but it is super moist inside.
Alright, last but not least I think we have maybe a brown chocolate one here.
That's not chocolate.
Can you guess what it is?
Coffee?
Ah, bingo, coffee.
That has a really strong coffee flavor.
I think that is actually my favorite one.
So macarons are not exactly the cheapest dessert you can have.
We've seen them over 20 Euro before.
The pack we picked up which was 16 cost 13 Euros.
And we've already ate half the box so we've had a bit of an expensive dessert but that
is okay.
We'll take the rest home and have it later.
