Gastronomic Diary of France and Provence
I tried 2 foods that sparked my curiosity about Marseille. First, a Turkish delight, a sweet treat from that can be found everywhere. It's a shiny, jelly-like, coated in sugar, with vibrant red colors inside. Its smell reminds me of roses, the texture is soft and chewy. The taste is a delightful blend of rose, lemon, and sugary goodness. This dessert originated in Turkey and is now enjoyed worldwide, often available in specialty shops or markets. Toques 2/5
After that, I tried a Navette, a cookie from France. This small, golden brown treat resembles a tiny boat. It has a floral scent and a solid texture, but it crumbles and crunches when you bite into it. The taste is also floral, with hints of orange. Navette is a special cookie popular in French regions and is often enjoyed dipped in tea. Toques 1/5 . There are lots of different tastes to discover in Marseille!
