How I Met My Dinner: Macaron Day 2014

by Alicia Lieu


"What's the difference between a Macaroon and a Macaron?"
An "O," I said, as my coworker raised his eyebrows at my less than satisfying answer. So I asked another coworker to Google Macaron vs. Macaroon and it turns out that a lot of people don't know what the difference is. My favorite illustration was the one with the macaron dressed in a black beret and mustache juxtaposed with a coconut macaroon. In short, macaron (long O) is a delicate French cookie sandwich.
