San Francisco sourdough, however, is best by far with butter.

(15,445 posts)Mais en rentrant, je passe devant une petite boulangerie ouverte sur le trottoir. Impossible de résister au parfum des croissants qui vient de sortir du four. Trop tentant !

(115,677 posts)There is a cheese company that makes Sante cheese and it's slogan is "sante means hello". I grumble every time I walk past it.
Surya Gayatri
(15,445 posts)Sometimes, when you walk past a 'fromagerie', you get a whiff that goes right to your head. Strong stuff!
And, then there is Munster. Oh, là là. A cheese that'll tickle your taste buds and give you 'cheese breath' all day! LOL!

"la forme mais pas le fond".
They've got the shape down, but just can't seem to get the texture right. I think it's all in how they handle the dough.
It's truly an art, as numerous videos on YouTube will attest.

(2,760 posts)It's only been a few weeks since I was in France partaking of that wonderful treat. I'm sitting here drooling as I look at these pictures, so grateful that memories of smell are long-lasting as I'm basking in the aroma while I recreate the taste experience.
Surya Gayatri
(15,445 posts)but I know what you mean about drooling. I'd much rather window shop in front of a bakery/pastry shop in Paris than at the show windows of a fashion house.
