Wait, what? No no, a good almond croissant is a thing of beauty, but they are so variable that I hesitate to order them.

Maple and pecan slice though :heart_eyes:

I love getting the eurostar and having a croissant.

#27

I’m all for the idea of this but that croissant looks a little on cold, stale side to me.

Cafe below where I work does a stonkingly good almond/chocolate hybrid croissant. Almost bought one earlier but trying to be good post-holiday.

Had to walk through the Herne Hill market a few Sundays ago. There was a croissant stand selling a croissant with a bit of melted blue cheese on top of it for £3.20. Yes. £3.20 for a croissant with a dollop of blue cheese on it.

As I said in the last croissant thread, I never eat them as a pain aux chocolat, pain aux raisin or any of the Danish pastries are far superior alternatives. Croissants are fiddly, flaky, boring twats.

I strongly recommend people go to Singapore and have a hot salted egg yolk croissant. I assume other places in Asia do them as well. Here is a picture showing a cross section from one of the lovely buttery gooey smooth little bastards:

Hmm, reckon you could probably get £4.75 for one of those puppies.

Croissants are shit.

Pain aux raising on the other hand…

I had two for my breakfast this morning

It’s not obviously sweet the glaze. In generally it seems to be a feature of a type that must travel well and maybe freeze and defrost well, since they always seem ‘staler’ than your nice flakey ones.

HOWEVER, it is the type that does best being dipped into coffee or hot chocolate so maybe this is the reason for the alternative form.

you wat m8

I phrased this weirdly, I just mean that I don’t think these croissants taste any sweeter than those without a glaze, in case you are imaging an almond croissant type sugar hit.

That IS icing, right?

It may be that the soggy biscuit game is played differently on the continent, that’s all.

That looks grim mate.

What kind of monster would put icing on it?
