Why? It's inaccurate. Only the Americans think you can differentiate macarons by spelling. She criticises the British for referring to different items as macaroons. Ironic because they're just different styles of what the French themselves refer to all as macarons. So one word for all, the French and British agree on that. The French are familiar with which city each style comes from, and therefore refer to them as eg macaron d'Amiens (from Amiens) or macaron de Nancy etc. The British don't because those aren't their cities and they're not as familiar with all the styles. Differentiating by spelling is an American idea, and can only cover TWO styles though the French have more. The Americans ought to be careful telling the Brits they don't know much about their neighbours across just 20 miles of water or a tunnel, a leading holiday destination and a commonly taught foreign language in British schools. They can mostly pronounce 'croissant' for a start, and some can even manage 'pain aux raisins'!

Lol!!

This. The almond flavour of a macaron but a texture closer to a coconut macaroon. An almond macaroon. The almond one is nearly soft, almost chewy. It is a distinct item, quite recognisable. Edit: further research suggests this video is misleading and it's the Americans who don't know what they're talking about. France has lots of types of macaron. Macaroon is just a different spelling in Britain but referring to them all by one main word is exactly what the French do! The French tend to add 'of [town of origin]' to distinguish the styles, and as far as I can see it's the macaron de Nancy which was most common in British home cooking. Interest in the fancier Parisian style has grown.

Yes, you sure are a food informant too! ;) I've had a recipe for Macarons D'Amiens that I've been meaning to try baking for ages. Thanks for reminding me! I should do an extended video on the origins of macaron. I do love eating them.

You’re welcome! Glad we could help 😁

We’re new! Help us get more subscribers by sharing! Thank you for watching!

We don’t know! Lol. But thanks for watching 😁

Thanks so much for subscribing! We plan to produce more when COVID restrictions ease up. Do you have any tasty questions you’d like to see answered in a video?

@@leannepoon1998 natural vs processed foods effects.

Ohh, good one!

Thank you! Definitely gonna make some more 🙏

Same thing,......

Thanks so much for your kind words! We plan to produce more videos when travel restrictions ease up. The collaborator and I live in different provinces. What sort of foods would you like to learn about, and what have you always wanted to know difference of?

@@leannepoon1998 Oh, hi! Can't come up with a subject for a "difference of" video from the top of my head, but maybe something about commonly used food additives could be a good one? Maybe even a series? Also, if you guys want to make more cooking guide type videos. One thing I've always wondered are the different kinds of sauce/soup bases used around the world and how you could make them at home. Maybe videos of specific famous/well-known dishes and their history?

These are all fantastic ideas! I do love cooking, and it would great to incorporate that. I’m also very much into international cuisine as well. I think finding ways to make these types of bases would be a great way to liven up the palette at home!

Hey thanks so much for the lovely comment, we’re definitely gonna try to do more!

Lol! Thanks! So true. I didn’t know for the longest time about macaron vs macaroon either!

Glad we could help! We were just as confused as you at some point 🤣

@lawrence wayne Love that I found your comment on here lol, we should hit up Ladurée (my fave macaron spot) when we're both in London!

Sorry but it isn't 'beyond helpful'. Strictly speaking it's less than helpful because it's inaccurate! Macaroon is just an anglicisation of macaron. An American idea two types are distinguished between the French and the anglicisation is (in Europe) for the birds because there are more than two types of macaron in France. The French differentiate by region: Macaron de [name of city]. British people using one word for the lot is just what the French do, except can you really blame the British for not knowing all the styles by their French city to add on to the name? Evidently the Americans don't.

@@MisterLevius bro, I missed this, but Laduree is my jam anytime I’m at Heathrow T3.

Radiation is off the chain

Here’s hoping he makes more appearances 😉

🙏 Hopefully more twists to come!

Me too! I love macarons!

Hi! 👋

Especially right now 😭 But hopefully not like this one lol.

Thanks Steve!
