Fuck you, I want 4

Bitter chocolate, Pistachio, and coffee.

I'm not very original.

>>6654760
like vanity and overhyped shit

>>6654760
Light and airy, the filling isn't heavy either. A bit nutty, has nice crispy shells. Taste usually varies with the flavour. Quite delicate.

>>6654769

lemon, salted butter caramel, bitter chocolate

or which ever three are the least sweet

coconut, rose petal and chestnut

Dude. Yes. Those are the 3 I would choose as well, and in that order.

Here's my list:

>

That's it.

Muguet, pistachio and rose petal. Pistachio and rose because they are delicious. Muguet because I want to know if it really tastes like lily-of-the-valley smells. And if it does, what wizardry did they use to accomplish it?

MOdern cookies suck so bad.
chewy choclate chip cookies instead of crisp is just heartbreaking.
These new marangue cookies are even worse.

>>6654757

>>6654757
Rose pedal number 1 absolutely

3rd is a tossup between coffee and bergamot, probably go with coffee if my hand was forced

>>6654820
>Now i dont even eat cookies

YOU LET THE TERRORISTS WIN

>>6654834
But I am so discouraged :_;
I feel like the monkeys paw.
I prayed for crisp cookies to come back so i could dunk them in my coffee,
Then the macaroons showed up ;_;

>>6654760
disappointment.

Lily of the Valley
Bergamot
"Spice and Soft Fruits"

If I could pick 3 more,

Orange Blossom
"Red Fruits"
Citron

pistachio, bergamot, and red fruits

Raspberry, Vanilla, Coconut
>my three favourite flavours are easily available and I'm never dissatisfied

Bergamot

Three flavors that I'm totally unfamiliar with. I'd rather taste something novel than have something that I know I'll enjoy.

Chestnut
Caramel with salted butter
Coconut

>>6655331
Well now I'm ashamed of myself, you tosser

>>6654757
chocolate cherry, blueberry, and because i have no idea what it would taste like, lily of the valley

>>6655331
bergamot is a bitter orange and is used in Earl Grey tea.

To y'all haters of macarons,
As much as I hate the trend of overhyped macarons that took the developped world by storm in the last decade (especially in Asia, all those pseudo french, overdyed, pretentious macarons), you are looking at a Ladurée chart here.
I know they too have set up stores all over the world, and maybe you tried them before bashing them, but in case you made a blanket generalization, we are taking about a company that made macarons since the 19th century. And they were the ones who had the idea to assemble 2 macarons and sandwich a ganache in between more than a century ago.

(orginial macaron is only the shell, pic related).

Not a shill and I understand they're not everyone's cup of tea but I've had Ladurée macarons in Paris and as far as macarons go they were really good.

>>6654785

Mango, cherry chocolate, coffee

>>6654757
Chocolate with Cherry, Rose and Bitter Chocolate.
I miss working next door to the city's best macaron bakery/restaurant and when clients would ask me where is good for coffee I'd send them there and they would sometimes bring me a macaron when their job was going too long.

Praline
Pistachio
Coffee

P. obvious.

>>6654757
Rose petal, praline, and pistachio

>>6654757
Marrons
Pistache
Fleur d'Oranger

>>6654946
Good choices

>>6654757
Chocolate, blueberry, Bergmot

mmmmm

>>6655331
>I'd rather taste something novel than have something that I know I'll enjoy.

Idiot. I chose my cookies based on surething enjoyment and the intrinsic medicinal value of the underlying ingredients. Novelty for noveltys sake is a the clinging of a super mega fucking retard.

>>6654757
Rose petal, praline, caramel with salted butter

Bergamot
Pistachio
Praline

would try lily of the valley though. I do enjoy floral flavors like rose and lavender.

>>6654757

raspberry, pistachio and spice and soft fruits

>>6656455
I picked those because I never had foods with those flavors before. I love trying new things.

If I went solely based off of what I like, it would be:

Chestnuts
Rose Petal
Bitter Chocolate

>>6654757
orange blossom, pistachio, mango and jasmine

Red fruits, bitter chocolate, and pistachio

probably it'd take 6 to really sate my curiosity

Praline Coconut and Rose Petal

>>6656492
Satisfying my curiosity is "surething enjoyment."

If I had to pick the three that are most likely to be delicious for me:
Blueberry
Chocolate
Praline

>>6655413
Oh, I didn't know that. I bet it would be good in a macaron

>>6654760
Just like anything the French make.
Shitty and overrated to hell.

>>6657982
French don't make macaroons

>>6657961
>Satisfying my curiosity is "surething enjoyment."

I agree with the idea of your post, however when it comes to "expensive" stuff (let's imagine I know I will be only able to afford 3 macarons) I usually go with the stuff I'll be sure to enjoy.
I'd hate that the only chance I got to try something out of the ordinary was spoiled by a poor selection on my part.

This is why when I go to real good, fancy restaurants (100€+ per head) I rather order something I'm almost sure to enjoy. Also it's always nice to see how a chef can make something extraordinary from something you already know. Salted butter ice cream for example.
I still tried a duck steak tartare and shit was pretty cash tho.

>>6654757
rose petal, coffee and mango jasmine are goat

>>6658226
>Salted butter ice cream

shut up.

>>6658272
No, really.
A very small scoop along a pastry made of dark bitter chocolate shell, milk chocolate ganache and roasted peanuts.

As in most chef's creations you are not supposed to guzzle your plate in one big slurp.

But I can guarantee that picking a piece of dark chocolate, a bit of milky ganache, a few pieces of crushed peanut and a hint of salted butter ice cream was an awesome balance of sweet, salty, bitter, creamy, crunchy and velvety.

If you don't see the appeal of this kind of combo, and if you can't understand that a great chef can make this kind of stuff and make it legit, then I'm sorry for you.

>>6654757
Rose, Blackcurrant, Blubbery or Raspberry

Why is it in chink tho?

>>6658327
Japs are big francophiles.

>>6654771

Kek'd at comment and picture

violet, rose, lemon

and chestnut for my grandmama

>>6658312
I think he's saying that butter-flavored ice cream is nonsensical. they're both butter fat. therefore it is pretentious.

>>6658724
What? Are you trying to tell me you can't make a butter flavored ice cream because there is already some fat from dairy in the original product?
You do know fresh butter has a taste, right?

>Caramel cookies are pretentious and nonsensical since there is already sugar in the cookie batter

>>6658728
I don't see the process of making butter as particularly different from ice cream. they are both churned cream. where is the difference in flavor coming from?

as for your example, caramel tastes different because it's browned.

>>6658733
Well I'm trying to find a way to phrase this without sounding like a pretentious french, but the butter we have here clearly has a very distinct taste, totally different from all other dairies.
And so different from the shitty Anchor and the other packed butter you find in hotels all over the world.

If in America maybe you should try some hipster organic locally sourced grassfed handchurned butter, or a least some farm butter or any imported "baratte" butter.
I just googled it, I see "european style" butter a lot, I also see "cultured" butter, to us it's just butter like pic related, Isigny is a famous AOC, so is Echiré.

Anyway what I'm getting at is: good butter does have a very specific flavor, and salted butter ice cream was a masterpiece because it managed to have the taste of fresh, delicious butter with the creaminess of ice cream and without feeling like 85% fat.
Can't say any better than this.

>>6658756
And, the pic related
