Yes, you know, too, that macarons can be picked up at Sainsbury’s and Marks & Spencer’s these days. But still – quelle disastre – the finger goes out, pointing at those seductive shades you believe will look prettiest lined up in the box. Plus, the macaron you’ve plucked politely from the mix might, of course, turn out to be flavoured with green tea or kale, or something equally grim. But I do think, this Christmas, we might finally shrug off the mimsy, pastel menace that is the 21st-century macaron. Inside these pillows of kelly green, slightly crunchy marzipan is a dark chocolate ganache flavoured with curaçao.
