Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries French pastries such as croissants, éclairs, and mille‑feuilles are widely enjoyed. The intensifier súper is informal; in formal writing you’d prefer muy or extremadamente. Also, remember that adjectives must always match the noun’s gender and number – you would say los pasteles franceses are ricos, but la tarta francesa would be rica.
