The Parisian Hamburger

What you think it doesn’t exist? That the French are too above that nonsense pile of meat, lettuce, and squirts of ketchup and mustard falling off in between?

Well you’re wrong. Or at least partially so.

The Parisian Hamburger is tiny sized, much like the Parisian Coffee, which is a species in its own right. The Parisian Hamburger does not bother with vegetables or meat or even sauces of any sort. The Parisian Hamburger has no need for any of this as the Parisian Hamburger is not consumed for lunch or dinner. No, the Parisian Hamburger is of another variety. It is sweet, delicate, melt-in-your-mouth-crispy, and comes in a variety of colors and flavors.

You may know the Parisian Hamburger by its more commonly used name, The Macaroon.

That’s right, the Parisian Hamburger is none other than that ever so cleverly hidden and over-priced La Durée Macaroon, which provided the dessert of the Marie Antoinette movie, or if you prefer, the rather exotic Pierre Hermés Macaroon.  

Figures that the French would outdo the Americans in their own choice of cuisine. ;)
