Danish



 At least one thing danish cooks know how to do, and they do it so well: Pastries!!!
Somehow pretty close to those you can find in Sweden or Finland or even in Germany or France, Danish pastries are very delightful.
Cinamon, jam, chocolate...all are tasty, not too sweet and with this perfect crusty feeling (and sound when you bite them). 
If you are leaving Denmark and feel you need a small somehting to feel your stomach and feel happy, go for it! (and skip the pølser;)

Macaron glacé

Macaron, that sweet little piece of French cuisine. The piece, which is nowadays maybe the most known French pastry after croissant and pain au chocolat. There are all the possible flavours you can imagine to add in a sweet biscuit. Couple of times we have had some macaron tasting with our friends and I can say that after four macarons you kind of feel only the sweetness and a funny feeling in your stomach. 

Anyway, now we're not talking about the original macaron, but a new invention: ice cream macaron! Sounds good, but does it taste good? The idea is that there's macaron biscuit around and some icy filling in the middle. I tried a macaron glacé apricot. I don't know, if it was the flavour or the texture, which wasn't smooth. There was something wrong - it wasn't a macaron!  

I love macarons as they've originally born - I can happily leave these test versions for others. Macaron glacé is not my cup of tea. Merci, mais non merci.
