They must be multi-coloured/flavoured.

MORE THAN ALMOST ANY FOOD EVER

CJ you are a star.

Jordan - no they're not frosted - I don't think - just smooth. I agree that this is not what some people would consider macaroons but I have a friend whose christmas will now be complete!

THIS IS A MACAROON

Only if it has a thin layer of plain chocolate underneath. Does it?

(Turns it over to look....)

No! It's not a macaroon then.

Jordan is OH TEE EMM. I hate those fucking pretend-macaroons that are nothing but coconut, egg whites and sugar.

The ones at Ladurée are delicious.

Michael White, Wednesday, 14 November 2007 16:57 (eighteen years ago)

totally delicious. i don't like the american coconut cookie things.

lauren, Wednesday, 14 November 2007 16:59 (eighteen years ago)

I especially like the rose petal, orange blossom, orange saffron, and salted butter ones.

this seems the ideal place for

THE SCOTTISH CAKESHOP JOKE

[adopts thick glaswegian accent]

Cakeshop customer: Is that a macaroon, or a meringue?
Cakeshop owner: No you're dead right, it's a macaroon.

wtf, is this some bizarre britishes conception of a macaroon?

Jordan, Wednesday, 14 November 2007 17:00 (eighteen years ago)

I like the coconut, American ones just fine, but they have almost nothing in common with French macarons.

Michael White, Wednesday, 14 November 2007 17:01 (eighteen years ago)

ledge, that's my favourite joke.

i do not recognize macaroons not made of almonds (and chocolate, in some cases)

gabbneb, Wednesday, 14 November 2007 17:09 (eighteen years ago)
