I applaud your totally thorough investigation of the macaron and its many possible flavors. See- my jaw is dropped.

Hi Linda! It does seem like a lot but when you break it down to equivalent amounts, it only works out to be around 6-8 macarons per person. I bit more than what you might have for afternoon tea but hardly OTT. Black truffle macaron was interesting... Hi Ellie! Hehe :) Thankfully, the macarons in the final post of this series aren't the main subject of the post. Hi Steph! After splitting a one-of-everything box, I wouldn't be surprised. The black truffle was indeed a pretty macaron but as you've stated and I likewise did, didn't seem worth the price. Hi yas! After Zumbo and Steph's creations, I would have to say pop rocks :) Hi chocolatesuze! That one was one of my most favourites too! :) Hi joey! Didn't the cheeseburger one rock! There were some I unfortunately missed out on. Hopefully they weren't better than some of the awesome ones I'd come across. Hi FFichiban! Thanks dude and sorry to hear that you lost your photos. Hi pierre! I wish I could claim credit to them but Adriano Zumbo did go over to France to learn from the masters so I guess credit where credit's due :) Thanks for dropping by the blog. I think that makes you the first official Parisian commentor on this blog :) Hi Anita! The maple bacon & pancake one should have been better but it's a wonderful concept so props to Zumbo for going with it.

They all look great – I would have loved to go. The maple bacon & pancake one sounds extra good – I would have chosen that definitely!!

Love the cheeseburger macaron! Not to mention the burnt toast and butter! Ah, so many macarons, so little time.

you were all possessed by macarons that day LOL
Some taste great others were questionable – but yeah I must say the whole experience was definitely worth doing. People seem to be excited like children over macarons. What other sweets make us go like that!

Ughh I felt kinda sick seeing all the macarons again but it was so worth trying! I agree with you, I was disappointed with the black truffle and didn’t think it was worth the price tag. It was so preeeeetty though!
