I pronounced it "pal-me-ay" and the person helping me said "Non. pal-mee". He was very friendly and very helpful. Have I been pronouncing it wrong the whole time? Like you, I guess it doesn't matter, they are so good and as long as I get one, I am happy. :) Also a French friend said that outside of Paris, no one calls a "pain au chocolat" a "pain au chocolat"--it is called chocolatine. Learn something new every day! ;) ps--don't even get my started on Kouign Amann.

Another reader sent me your post via emai. Well now I know. Buerre is such a good thing! <br /><br />I personally swoon over a good pain au chocolat and my two grandchildren that were with me in Paris this summer loved the escargot......pastry version. A twisted snail shaped pastry dotted with chocolate pieces. The ones we bought at the Franprix suited them just fine , but they preferred the ones from the patiisserie on the corner. <br /><br />VVirginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01152464973355194995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-58243975108594030482009-04-21T13:18:00.000-04:002009-04-21T13:18:00.000-04:00Balthazar in NY has a really good chasson aux pomm...Balthazar in NY has a really good chasson aux pommes and there is a little La Fougasse place in the marais down the street from the Enfants Rouge that has the BEST chasson aux pommes I've ever had.Cherihttp://scout-holiday.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-79900772472659521542009-04-21T10:37:00.000-04:002009-04-21T10:37:00.000-04:00Yes!

My favorite is the Viennoise aux peppites, although I believe there are several names for it.<br />I think that its brioche dough, its in the shape of a demi baguette and it has chocolate chips.<br />Also, I've heard that the word viennoiserie comes from Marie Antoinette, the Venitian who was known for her indulgence in sweets. Research into that word and what it means would be fun.Angelahttp://tonisweets.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-45699261306060262182009-04-21T10:24:00.000-04:002009-04-21T10:24:00.000-04:00Hi Parisbreafast!

Since you have written about "Le Palmier" I made up my mind to leave you a comment. They are one of my favourite "non-homemade" pâtisserie, especially when they are covered with real chocolate, as you can find them here in Spain. We also call them "Palmiers" ("Palmeras" in Spanish) and I imagine that's because their ressemblance with palm-trees leaves. I hope that clears up your doubt ;-)<br />Congratulations for your blog, and thank you for sharing your gift with us! xxNat:)Natnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-30506151399045017022009-04-21T02:57:00.000-04:002009-04-21T02:57:00.000-04:00Can I have the one in white behind the counter?
