French Cuisine: Paris Food Guide Travel Food Video Transcript:

So another day in Paris calls for another little Parisian treat. Today we have a box full of Macaron. And if you spend any time on Instagram you've probably noticed that when your friends travel to France they are posting pictures of these sweet little treats because they just look so cute really.

So we got ourselves a box from a little pâtisserie and we're going to be sampling them. And it looks like we've got four different flavors of this one. Let's zoom in. And I can't wait to dig in.

So what exactly are in these bad boy macaroon? Okay, so I'm not much of a baker but I did read up on these. And they are made with egg whites, icing sugar, regular sugar and then some almond powder. And they also use a little bit of food coloring to give them different colours. So as you can see here we've got four different variations with four different flavors.

So today is our first day exploring Paris and we thought we'd sample a bit of the local cuisine. We came across a little stand that was selling Crêpes so I ordered one with jambon fromage. So this one is ham and cheese. It looks delicious. We've been walking around for hours and I'm starving so I'm so excited to just bite into this.

So today we are having a nice little picnic in the outskirts of Paris. We just felt like we needed to get out of the city for a bit. So we went to a grocery store we picked up a few snacks and now we're in the bois de boulogne and we're going to be having a nice little picnic outside and it is a great day for it. So I'm excited to dig in to all of this food.

We've got two bottles of little wine. They're both really cheap. We've got Couscous. We've got humus. Baguette. Croissant. Ah! Of course. Croissant. Chocolate. Enough Macarons to last us for a week. Plenty of Swiss cheese. Prosciutto. And smoked trout.

Well good morning from Paris. It is about eleven in the morning which means it is time for either a second breakfast or a first lunch. So we've stopped off at a little Patisserie and we picked up a little treat that we're going to be sampling. So here is my little bag. First let me show you, they gave us cute cutlery, wrapped in pink string. Aw.

And today we're going to have be having something called Croque-monsieur.

Well, well it is time for another French dessert. So today we are introducing you to the Eclair. And I have two Éclairs in here that I just picked up from the little bakery shop. And it is time for the unveiling.

Alright, so I went for the classic chocolate-topped Éclair. So basically it is just a long doughy pastry and the inside is supposedly filled with cream. And it has chocolate icing on top but let's bite in to be sure.

This is part of our Travel in France video series showcasing French food, French culture and French cuisine.

Another great video! You are teaching me about the different types of food in other countries. That has caused me to try those foods here in the states in restaurants that offer that type of cuisine. I know its not the same as being in Paris or Seoul but I won't ever get the chance to travel to other countries. Great Video!!

How could you get Macaroons from somewhere else than La Duree?! It's the ultimate Parisian Macaroon place (but they're like 2$ each or more...)
