acorns...doesnt get much better than that....

--Anne-Marie, who has a wonderful memory of a very pretentious patisserie
in Paris across from the Luxemborg gardens


>Elk Candy is a small local confectioner on the Upper East Side of
Manhattan. I don't know if they ship to any great extent. My son and I love
to go in there not only for the interesting and always high-quality
chocolate stuff, marzipan pigs, gingerbread houses, etc., but also for the
sort of cartoony stereotype "surly Euro-trash" manner of the owner, who
generally mans the counter in the afternoons. He kinda reminds me of Mike
Myers as Dieter, the host of 'Sprockets' on SNL ("Your story has grown
tiresome...")
