Just a note that I think I wasn't clear on my numbers, but it was about .2-.25 klograms (200-250 grams) of chocolate eaten at Easter...but that's just from a few studies based on sales figures...it's likely much more! They do eat 2-2.5 kilos per year on average, again, according to sales reports. Just didn't want to mislead your readers into thinking the French are eating TOO much chocolate :)<br />Have a great weekend!<br />Best,<br />Bryan<br />Bryan Pirollihttp://www.bryanpirolli.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-90608388025255015972013-03-30T04:19:10.085-04:002013-03-30T04:19:10.085-04:00Je suis jalouse que vous habitez a Paris maintenan...Je suis jalouse que vous habitez a Paris maintenant!<br />Le chien et moi, nous irons en Dordogne, en quelques semaines,<br />et peut-être, quelques jours a Paris aussi.<br />Enjoy this link:<br />http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2013/03/29/175599684/homemade-peeps-and-more-easter-treats-a-la-thomas-keller<br />Cordialement,<br />LesleeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-28728519000599056532013-03-30T02:28:04.344-04:002013-03-30T02:28:04.344-04:00So Many chocolate samples!

There's great taste (!) and variety and style on display in each shop. I'm delighted to learn that you did sample these masterpieces.<br /><br />Only a day to go before I break my Lenten vow of no chocolate. Perhaps I'll have my own NYC chocolate tour tomorrow, searching for the perfect first bite. Mind you, I do have some Cadbury Creme Eggs in the apartment just in case I don't bring home luxury tomorrow.<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-60230001815923225502013-03-29T22:14:31.571-04:002013-03-29T22:14:31.571-04:00Oh, chocolate heaven!!
