I can’t go one centime over 150,000 euros for the kitchen! What am I supposed to do with that kind of money? "Jennifer"
Boy, those French. They have a different word for everything.

The best of America drifts to Paris. The American in Paris is the best American. It is more fun for an intelligent person to live in an intelligent country. France has the only two things toward which we drift as we grow older—intelligence and good manners.

I have two loves: my country and Paris.

I have tried to lift France out of the mud. But she will return to her errors and vomitings. I cannot prevent the French from being French.

I believe I'll have the pate - aka crack in a jar. . .yummy! But I can't imagine how you're going to actually make it home with that if you're bringing it in your carryon. I'd eat it all before arrival. . .
Wow, is the speculoos thing available in Paris? It looks awesome!
A Frenchman.........an available Frenchman.
A return ticket to go back with you.
@Bunny It will certainly get demolished halfxay through the plane ride.
@Paris Paul You can get it in most mainstream grocery stores. Let me know what you think and we can set up the first Speculoo-holics Anonymous chapter in Paris.
@Anonymous Check out my Paris Cheese Guide post and you can bring one home for yourself. ;)
@Grammy Desolée! The tickets were super-expensive this time around so I can only spring for 4 people!
That is really funny - I just brought some Speculoos back to the US as a thank-you to a co-worker, and I described it the same way, ie "crack in a jar"!!
I live in Belgium and I agree that that nothing beats Speculoos paste! It's also the top of our list of requests for things to take/send back to South Africa when anyone goes over.
Have a good trip!
You are a good friend, mon amie! I recently asked a friend to bring me back Speculoos, but he brought me the cookies instead of the spread - sacre bleu!
I also find chocolate bars from Jean-Paul Hévin and bonbons from Jacques Genin make stateside friends happy.
And guess what?! The spread is now available in the U.S. although it's sold under the name "Biscoff" (same manufacturer). http://justanotherdayinwashingtondc.blogspot.com/2011/07/score.html
Keep posting stuff like this i really like it
Kind-of ironic, in a "Pepe le Pew" kind-of way, but I ran out of deodorant on my last trip to Paris, and had to buy some at Monoprix. I ended up LOVING it and when I ran out last month, I had my friend who lives there send me some. And a multi-pack of Kinder Bueno bars. They came this week. <3
I usually bring back bottles of wine, macarons, éclairs au chocolat, and Milka chocolate bars... but maybe I'll bring some Speculoos back this time. Thanks for the great idea!
A gorgeous, single Frenchman, please!
i'm in Paris, so no need, buy when I go visit family I bring back Speculoos a tartiner, aussi. My mom adores it, as well as a good quality confiture du lait. I also bring back some of the more random and fun flavored chocolates that we have here. I would bring back macarons but don't think they would last...
on the other hand, i'm pregnant and craving everything under the sun that is unavailable here---random cereals, chips such as cheetos (whats up with those weird puffed things that taste like peanuts. eww), proper Mexican food, proper tasting and non-greasy chinese food (i've found that Picard stuff tastes better than restaurants. sad). So maybe if you could just bring back a few of my favorite restaurants :) and a baby Halloween costume...it seems here they only have deguisements for older kids :(
hope you're enjoying your trip stateside!
This is a great idea! I too am always on the lookout for great gift ideas to take back to family and friends once I finishing Learning French here in France! :) Thanks for the article!
LOL, I just got back to NY from a trip to Paris with my suitcase stuffed with Speculoos, Petit Marsellaise gels (Mimosa, Lavender, Marine, mmmmmmm), Dia deoderant with the blue cap, Claire Fontaine notebooks and Haribo Haricroc. It's funny the weird little things that you miss when you can't get them anymore.
