Apparently Bayonne is the home of the Macaron & they are a Basque specialty. Just off to try some from a shop that has been in the same family since 1699

Their fillings are good, very signature-Lindt, as most of the ganaches are filled with white chocolate hence the somewhat overly sweet taste some of them revealed, such as the strawberry and vanilla. I personally love the vanilla cos i can taste a bit of an ice-cream combination in the filling. I make macarons as well and will soon be selling them in QV in Melbourne, name of the premise will soon be revealed as well as dates (very near). I have not found a real true french macaron yet though in Australia, French macaron aren’t supposed to be crunchy (quoting from Mr. Duncan) and Lindt’s has biscuit-like crunch in their shells and are kept in a cold display case as opposed to Parisian macarons in Laduree, sold in open air in their boutiques. Adriano Zumbo in Balmain, Sydney has great macaron fillings, however his shells are pretty crunchy too, but better than Lindt. He experiments, just like the genius Pierre Herme. Well as I am still starting out in this macaron business, I too am pleased to say that I have not perfected the perfect macaron in reminisce of Parisian macarons but hopefully one day, soon, I will offer to some of you what real french macarons are suppose to be…

Come on guys, I think that they are fabulous! Definitely havn’t tasted better macarons in Mel. Coconut and Rose are my 2 favs.

Did not see any pre-packed macarons, though??? Bought 24 of them and they were packed in 4 cardboard boxes of varying sizes.

Cruxifaye: at the end of the day – only really the 70% chocolate ones won my heart. It tasted simply and purely of chocolate. The others all had either a distinct white chocolate or artificial fruit flavour. Not so nice. I would like to try the rose one, but other than that I’ll constrain myself to chocolate I think.

$2 each no matter if bought one or 30. But if you buy 6 you get a handy reusable (?) macaron carrying case and a nice Lindt baggy. Curiously, if you chose to eat your macaron in the cafe, they were $4 for a serve of 2 ???

And somewhat reminiscent of Duncan’s chocolate box experience, if you chose your own flavours you didn’t get the same box as the pre-packed ones – just cardboard and tissue paper. I’m very tempted to take back the empty macaron, oops Delice, box and see if they refill it with flavours of my choice.

So they don’t call them macarons, they call them “Delice’s”?

So…. who the hell is Delice, and why are all the macarons his/hers?!

*headdesk*

APOSTROPHE FAIL.

…out of interest, how much were they?
