Macarons au Foie Gras by Pierre Herme

Desserts/Pastry France Paris So so
Macarons

The highly anticipated Pierre Herme’s creations for the holidays season: “Macaron chocolate and foie gras” (the red one) and “Macaron églantine, figue foie gras” (the golden one).

Pierre Herme is known for inventing the most incredible macaron flavours, like olive oil or white truffle macarons and I am a  big fan of that. But this time he went too far: the macarons au foie gras are barely eatable.
