astheroshe, wow a pastry chef to be ! You’ll have to let us all know when you open that shop of yours, of course ! Lots of good luck to you !

Niko, oh yeah, the Salon is definitely the real deal – a whole world away from the NY show. The same founders behind it all, but different agencies running each show. Different approaches, different audiences, and most of all a different culture and mindset about chocolate. Very very different indeed. Looking forward to seeing your coverage of the NY show for sure… thanks for the shout out to this post on your blog.

[...] out the coverage of the Salon Du Chocolat in Paris by My Kugelhopf. It seems a bit more colorful than New York’s 2009 [...]

Wow – this show is the real deal. It seems totally different from the New York Chocolate Show which is geared towards consumers or “prosumers”. Great photos and descriptions BTW. It is interesting how the same people put on these shows – they must have spent some time figuring out what works where.

Akila, cotton candy marshmallows – ok, maybe a bit ridiculous (hello sugar!), but such fun, and really yummy too!

foodloverkathy, thanks so much. I’ll see you at the Salon in 2010 then!

astheroshe, the Salon is always around the same time every year. The dates are set for 2010 already – Oct 26 to Nov 2. Here’s the link with the entire global calendar (amazing how many shows in so many countries!): http://www.salonduchocolat.fr/home.php?titre=1&id_code=2&cat=

As for chocolates exported to the US, there are some chocolatiers that have their products in shops in the US already (like Pralus). Best to check the websites of the chocolate you are interested in and see about international shipping. What caught your eye?

I love this post! It takes me back to Paris and all the wonderful chocoltiers. I will have to book my next ticket during next year’s Salon du Chocolat.

Oh my gosh. I am so so jealous. That sounds incredible. All of it sounds delicious but the daiquiri/lime macaron really won me over. And cotton candy flavored marshmallows – ridiculous!

Julia, it definitely sounds like you were pretty close to being at the Salon yourself! So cool that you saw the dresses on TV – there is always an impressive list of fashion designers matched up with chocolate makers, outstanding what they create in the end. As for Philippe Pascoët’s line of flavors, some may sound totally crazy, yet at this level of quality, they are all masterfully done – and absolutely worth trying. An experience if anything…

Mardi, thanks for coming along on the ride! Better wipe off that drool from your keyboard before sparks start flying! haha.

Laura, there’s always the Salon next year…! Your waistline may not agree, but your taste buds and tummy certainly will!

Lady Macaron, no chocolate celebrations in Indonesia? Oooh but there’s so much other good stuff! (Hey, have you seen my ABC list of Indonesian fruit? Here’s the page of my Indonesian articles if you want to check it out: http://mykugelhopf.ch/category/grab-your-passport/miscellaneous-travel/indonesia/). Never tried cane sugar sticks, sounds pretty sweet to me!

Jen, here it is, the list you were waiting for, right?! Glad you enjoyed a little slice of chocolate heaven. Always more to come…
