There is definitely a trend of flavors that varies from here in Vancouver and in Paris, France. I personally find that Vancouverites are not as adventurous as Parisians. I mean, when Pierre Herme comes out with Yogurt flavored macarons, Parisians and tourists are all eager to try them ( I got suckered into the novelty, but I give them "thumbs-down", very sour tasting).
With J'adore les Macarons, my wildest flavor combination for French Macarons would be my Chai Maple Bacon Salted Caramel French Macaron. This gets the attention of all the guys while incorporating all my favorite flavors. I once created Curry dusted Coconut Milk filling with Pineapple Jam (lugged back from my trip to Hawaii), but customers were hesitant. The fragrant curry complimented the taste of the almond shell very well, in my humble opinion. What's your favorite flavor and what's the craziest flavor of macarons have you tried?
What do you think of the flavors that emulate American desserts like red velvet, s'mores, chocolate chip oatmeal, chocolate mint, orange creamsicle, lemon meringue pie, peanut butter and jam? FYI, these are normally flavored by using artificial extracts that are made in a lab, created to taste like a particular type of food. If I wanted to eat a red velvet cake, then I would go for it whole-heartedly...but in a French Macaron, I like to taste pure and natural flavors.
