I too couldn’t wrap my head around $2-$3 per macaron. It turns out they’re really really really hard to make. I watched a Tasty (For a while it was Tasty and Tastemade) video….I understand…

Turkish delights are chewy, colorful, cube candies you can eat a whole box of before thinking they were stolen. And they have the nerve to give you two on a 12-hour flight…

From when I was little, I remembered how good Belgian waffles were and nothing else about Belgium….

There are normal people who appreciate all the precious gelato they can get because…they’re in….Italy. Rome, Italy. Right? Then there are peanut butter people. They’ll take you around the entire city because they have to have… peanut butter gelato. And apparently, nothing else will do.
