Joined to taste the assortment of French sweets, was taken aback how sweet typical French sweets were! It was interesting to listen how French typically eat those snacks and certain sweets were meant as gifts etc. Our beautiful French instructor is not just any typical French, her grandparents own the sweets company (Cruzilles) and more than half of the sweets she brought were produced by their company. It seemed that the company specialised in producing high end confectionery.How cool was that? Imagine your own grandparents owning sweets factory lol!
Half way trying the sweets, I was pretty worried that I will have trouble with my blood sugar level (my checkup was next day) so I started taking small bites instead. It will be better if not all the snacks were sweet, it became too overwhelming towards the end. Nevertheless, it was an eye opener!
