I never actually eat anything with sugar in it, not even processed stuff or fruit juices, juts because I don't like how it affects my bloodsugar - I therefore NEVER eat macaroons!
French macaroons are so delish but I'm also swept up by their aesthetic sensibilities.
If you think that sounds pretentious just go look at laduree.com, a pastel rainbow of colours, all housed in the most exquisite packaging! Their stores are divine.
We got a free box full of French Macaroons when I was in Paris. (From Laduree!) They come in all sorts of flavors. I was with my fiance, and we went out on our final day there and bought a
bunch for our families. They are very good -- almost pure sugar.
I like both kinds though!
I've had a coconut flavoured french macaroons before. They sell them in Laduree in Harrods and Paris. I'm not sure if you get Laduree in America at all.
If you need a french macaron primer and recipe, there's a really good series on Serious Eats (www.seriouseats.com) this
week. They're not that hard to make, and they are very delicious!
Coconut... because the first time/only time I tried French macaroons I got extreeeeemely sick. It was from smoked salmon I think, but still, I associate the two ya know?
Oh my god - My first ever true french macaron (only one "o" for the french cookies) was a couple weeks ago when I was at a play opening in Santa Monica, the caterer put out chocolate macarons
from Boule (420 La Cienega, in L.A.) and I, I am not even a big sweeet-toothy type, but this was like - just - unbelieveable. They are amazing. Amazing. I want to find the French patisseries
around here in Bev Hills/West Hollywood etc. and try all the different flavours they come in, but oh my god those chocolate macarons were unreal...
I love french macaroons, especially those that are flavored chocolate and pistachio. I like regular coconut macaroons too, but if I had to choose, I'd go for the French ones.
I recently had French macaroons in Montreal. They come in lots of different flavors. I had one that was caramel apple flavor, and my other favorite was passionfruit flavored. The colors were
outrageous as well. Love them!

This soup ends up being a good source of three blood pressure-lowering minerals since the milk adds calcium and the potatoes deliver a dose of potassium, as well as magnesium.

I don't think I've ever encountered a French macaroon. Even if I had, I'd probably still pick coconut. Love that stuff!

i'm not a big fan of the coconut ones but i may change my mind because they look fun to make.
5Coconut, mainly because I'm not too sure that I've tasted the French ones.

13Coconut
14I love both, but as far as baking is concerned, coconut are much much easier to make.
15I've had a coconut flavoured french macaroons before. They sell them in Laduree in Harrods and Paris. I'm not sure if you get Laduree in America at all.
16I'll never forget my first Laduree macaron... caramel, it was! So amazing...
17I've never had or heard of French, but since I don't like coconut at all, I voted French. They look scrumptious.
18i've only tried the coconut so.. i guess that
