I've been long gone from Denmark and for the past few months I've been living in Paris. My coffee treat usually is an espresso rounding up a full fledged meal or a dessert. I'm pretty much focused on desserts. My increasingly puffy face shows my addiction to puffy creams, floating islands, chocolate fondues, red fruit sable cakes...
The other day I savored the famous Mont-blanc at Angelina. My mouth just watered again. It's a meringue filled with whipped cream and covered with chestnut paste.You can read more about it here, or at least see the pictures if you can't read French :).
Oddly enough, I sometimes miss the Danish school/work cafeteria filter coffee and my favorite blueberry muffin... and kanelsnegle (cinnamon snail-shaped pastry). I guess that is what you'd call the calming pleasure of simple taste. :) Or maybe spending days among hysterical French makes me miss my calm Danish mornings.
Until some other time, take care and enjoy your coffee breaks :)
