The comment: there’s a major cultural difference in how French women and English women buy shoes. French women are concerned with how they look – rolling up trousers to check it out, turning several ways in the mirror, but don’t seem to even bother to walk in them to check for comfort. (At least this was what I observed in a Paris shoe shop today. I caused consternation by wanting to walking up and down to see how they felt…)
The question: why are french meringues so big? I mean ginormous. Since I can’t eat gluten any more, they are the only excuse I have to go into a patisserie – but I suspect they must be meant for three, since they don’t in any way match other French portions. Answers in the comments please…
