Marron (aka Chestnut) 02/2011 |
I'm always amused when Japanese people assume some loan word is English. Marron is one that surprises many of my clients. I never even heard that word before coming to Japan. I did learn that it is used in culinary circles but that is hardly a world I belong to. In my realm, we say chestnuts. Now, I'm okay with roasted chestnuts. Not something I seek, but I'm okay with them. And they do smell amazing. But desserts like Mont Blanc are really popular here. Of that, I'm not a fan. These KitKats, again I don't remember, probably had that Mont Blanc taste to them.
