Macaron

/mah-kuh-ROHN/  n.
  1. 1. A confectionery composed of two almond meringue shells around a filling, noted for its rounded girth and the audacity with which it carries it.
  2. 2. colloq. A petite indulgence, yet unashamedly thiccc, making dessert merely an excuse for its own existence.
In a sentence:

"She placed a thiccc macaron at the center of the dessert plate, and the rest of the pastries relinquished any aspirations of grandeur."

Etymology:

From Italian 'maccherone', meaning 'fine dough', rooted in Greek 'makaria', a dish made from barley paste. The French, naturally, gave it curves.

From the desk

Filed by

Spider HennessyField Correspondent

Filed from a patisserie in Lyon where the macaron case is vibrating slightly from its own structural confidence.

Ruling ADMITTED

Bart PrussSenior Cataloguer

Two almond meringue shells producing a compressed spherical profile is a geometric argument, not a decorative one. The filling does not ask permission.

Eliza HartwellStaff Writer

The etymology says the French gave it curves. The French would like credit for this. The macaron has not acknowledged the French.
