A Belgian food company called 'Pidy' recently launched a line of unusual macarons that contain a spicy, curry-inspired filling. Although the delicate French pastries are usually associated with sweet flavors, Pidy is offering a savory option for adventurous foodies.
The new curry-flavored macarons from Pidy put a South Asian twist on a classic French dessert. Unlike a traditional macaron, these treats contain a unique filling that delivers a subtle spicy kick. They also have a distinct texture that is light and airy, yet moist and flavorful. In addition to the curry-flavored delicacies, Pidy is also experimenting with other macaroon fillings such as avocado mousse, hummus and even a seafood puree.
While the unusual macarons may not appeal to everyone, the treat are perfect for those who tend to prefer savory over sweet.
