Today’s challenge as part of the Edible Advent Calendar:
Can you name this treat?
Leave your answer (product and source) in the comments section below. The reader who has accumulated the most victories by December 24 will receive an edible Christmas present from me. I’ll keep your guesses hidden until the answer is revealed tomorrow on Budget Travel, then I’ll publish the comments and name the winner for this challenge.
YESTERDAY’S WINNERS: Yes indeed, those are the famous macarons from Ladurée – correctly identified by Sophie, Jamie Samons, Kelaine, Lil, Janet, Zeva Bellel, Karin, Christopher and Adam. The full description of this delicious thing can be found on the Budget Travel Paris Page.
Oh! Oh! O know this one. They are Fauchon eclairs with Brigitte Bardot pictured on them. Not sure what flavor… But ahhhhhh. The interwebz succeeds once again here at this link (Fauchon’s site is down right now…): http://www.gogoparis.com/2009/11/19/brigitte-bardot-eclair-by-fauchon/ (and I would make it pretty, but my HTML hyperlink mad skilz appear to be broken when trying to do so in these comments). They are flavored with rose and almond. Available until 31 Jan, they are 6€ each. I WANT one of these!!
I was so excited, I typo-ed up there! I is now O, lol.

Place de la Madeleine
( wonder whether I’d like to bite it or not … )
Special edition almond and rose “BB” éclairs by Fauchon, in honour of Brigitte Bardot. Iconic picture and all, I still wish they had used a more flattering picture than this – it looks quite ghastly when edited to this elongated shape. ><

The Brigitte Bardot eclair by Fauchon! Did you see that exhibit about her life in Boulogne-Billancourt? I went on my last day in Paris…it was very pink!
Bridgette Bardot eclairs from Fauchon.
Seriously, the least appetizing treat posted. On my laptop, the bottom of the eclair kind of looks like forked tongues or octopus tentacles licking Bardot. Blech.
