I'm not sure why these are called "conversations." The chef says it's because they always start a conversation. That's as good a guess as any. They are very interesting looking and very tasty. Basically, they are covered tartlets filled with almond cream. The almond and the puff pastry on the top crust both puff up and dome. This makes the royal icing that you spread on top before baking them crack and do weird things.
The puff pastry is, of course, delicious. The almond cream is just wonderful; both the texture and taste are great. The royal icing (made of egg whites and powdered sugar) gets caramelized and slightly puffed up. Yum!
