These cookie-brownie like pastries with a creamy center are absolutely marvelous! Macaroons are very popular in France.. just as much as their croissants and pain au chocolat's are. Claire had told me to try these parisienne Macaroons.. I was confused at first because I thought she meant the coconut cookies but I was SOOO wrong. I absolutely LOVE Macaroons. I've bought one everyday for the past 3 days now. They come in every flavor and color pretty much. The Pistachio and Chocolate are the most popular I think but, there's also strawberry, coconut etc. There's pretty much two sizes you can get them in: BIG, like the one in the picture or small, about the size of a quarter. They're bite size so we all know what that means.... they're even MORE dangerous than the big ones. You just pop them in your mouth like potatoe chips. I just skip all that and head straight for the big papa Macaroon. Pistachio is my favorite. The french love pistachio for some reason.. they sell pistachio ice cream as much as they do chocolate icecream. Same goes for their pastries... funny. Perfect for Mer, bad for Dad. Enjoy "eating with your eyes!" <-- that's what Claire said to me when she wanted to go look at some Pastries when we were passing by Le Grande Patisserie . "Allie, here, lets eat with our eyes!" So.. ENJOY... because I sure did ;-)

wow allie, I certainly hope they taste better than the look. They kinda look like two cow chips with mayo in between. Maybe you were wearing your rad glasses when you were looking. -Dad
