Can one as an alternative to "deux sucettes au caramel" write "deux sucettes caramélisées"? This is in line with phrases like "porc salé" and "bouillon aromatisé".
Or, does "deux sucettes au caramel" imply lollipops that contain pieces of caramel compared to "deux sucettes caramélisées" that implies lollipops with a caramel flavour?
Why is it une salade de fruits and not une salade des fruits ?
La liberté d'expression est un droit fondamental mais il faut ________ respecter les limites.
