CNN.com has a current article titled "
International desserts: 50 famous desserts around the world" by Jen Rose Smith. This photo collection is so utterly tempting that I can't resist saving my favorite photos, the ones that I'd like to eat RIGHT NOW!
I have tasted many more than half of them -- you probably have too. All the ones I know about are so fantastic I can hardly stand to look at the photos. Here are a few samples (but I think it's a fun project to just look at all the photos).
 |
Number 8: Cardamom buns from Sweden. |
 |
Number 10: Chocolate chip cookies from the US. The photo shows them fresh and hot. Irresistible. |
 |
Number 11: Chocolate mousse from France. I remember my first-ever bite of this. Awesome. |
 |
Number 20: Gelato from Italy. Luckily, there are at least some ice cream shops here that have this treat. |
 |
Number 28: Lemon tart from France -- my favorite of all. Though I like the single-serving ones best. |
 |
Number 36: Pavlova from Australia and New Zealand. Quite a rivalry. I think a chef in New Zealand has been shown to be the real inventor, but the popularizer was Australian. |
I hope CNN won't mind that I have copied their photos because they make me so hungry.
