Now the macarons I would wax poetic about (and which I repeatedly craved for while I was in Paris) are the pistachio macarons of PAUL boulangerie. They are thick, huge in diameter (about 2.5 to 3 inches), chockful of grainy pistachios (not finely ground), and VERY chewy. Beside the smooth perfect delicate macarons of Fauchon, Paul's macarons can only be described as 'manly', chunky, generous, substantial in mass, texture, and flavor. For me, Paul's macarons are the hands-down winner. Paired with their rich thick hot chocolate, a Paul macaron can sweep me up into a warm feeling of bien être and I can even momentarily forgive the French their occasional transgressions. :-) I’ve had Fauchon macarons and while they were very good, I honestly can’t say that I would rave madly about them over and above other macarons I’ve tasted (including those I’ve made myself :-) ).
