homeIt's that time of the year where the French bring out (imagine me shouting this part of the phrase) insanely delectable things to eat. Needless to say, I'll be doing a lot of food blogging the rest of the month!
Did I mention insanely delectable?
Marrons Glacés, or sugar glazed chestnuts, make me go a bit mad.
Let's examen this a little closer ....
Tender chestnuts, whose sugar glaze crackles ever so slightly when you bite in, your fingers are so incredibly sticky, you are obliged to lick them several times over ....
A word to the wise: don't buy them in a super market, non, non, non! (pft, pft, pft!) Do buy them in a good quality pastry or chocolate shop. They are très cher, so here is a suggestion: buy a box of miettes de maroons glacés, or pieces of sugar glazed chestnuts, much less pricey. Imagine how many of these little chestnuts get broken in the deshelling and glazing process! How do they do it? Un grand Mystère Français ....
A box of miettes de maroons glacés is an elegant and classy gift to offer either for Chrtistmas or when invited to someone's house for a festive soirée.
Voilà! I think perhaps I shall indulge in a few sugar glazed chestnuts whilst writing this morning!
Gros bisous gluant (sticky) et a demain.
Love, Charley
