There are very few things in life that I enjoy more than condiments and macaroons. For many years, the image of mustard in my mind was bright yellow with too much vinegar. But through years of culinary taste and see, I realized that Americans have extremely skewed tastes and discovered the true taste of well done mustard. Lola led me to the single Maille store in Paris. I wish I'd gotten a photo of the stacks and stacks of mustard. You can bring empty cans and pay for refills there, too, dispensed through various pumps. And the second place doesn't need an introduction, as it's the famous Laduree.

I love the feel and look of French bakeries. And the colors of the macaroons are magnificent.

I am obsessed with La Duree. Blissful Glutton did a macaron tour on her blog in Paris and rec'd a few other places too. But damn. On study abroad I went to La Duree like 6 times over 3 months. Even to the one hidden inside of Harrod's in London.
ReplyDeleteI just saw Maille featured on Andrew Zimmern Bizarre Foods! How many different mustards did you try? I'd love to go there some day!
