This was the final stop on our food tour and it was a great second dessert and opportunity to pick up some unique Strasbourg food item gifts to bring back to the states. Pain d'Epices Mireille Oster is known for their gingerbread and seeing as how we're about to enter the Christmas season, this was a perfectly timed stop.
This spice and gingerbread shop has been in business since 1933 and we had the opportunity to smell and try to identify some of the spices they use here. Yes, pop your mask off briefly and see if you can work out that one is lemon and that one is anise and that one is cardamom.
I bought some heart shaped cookies to bring home to my lovely wife and thankfully, the CBP people at JFK didn't mind.
