Catherine de Medici, had Italian chefs who introduced the pastries to France when she married Henry I. When her daughter Elisabeth of Valois was married to Philip II in Guadalajara, she brought a box of macarons with her. It was on his wedding night that Philip declared, "You'd need to be a maricon not to love a macaron."One thing not yet mentioned in this thread is the existence of several very thorough studies on the long term effects of macarons.
The data is empirical in showing that ingesting high levels of french macarons causes increased estrogen levels in the body and in some extreme examples has been known to cause homosexual activity.
Linguists have even noted the direct historical correlation between the French word "macaron" and the Spanish word "maricon." All I'm saying.![]()
