How do you like your croissants?

Well if you shop at Tesco, you will only be able to buy straight ones...... And yes, some French people are upset.

Surely if they are straight they can't be called croissants as the meaning of the word is crescent, hence their shape x

I believe it is 'high-falutin'

As the word means crescent, how can you have a straight one?

on the road to nowhere in particular

The clue is in the name croissant is French for crescent

I can remember when they were called crescent rolls

Another great marketing plan from Tescos

Correct;

And croissants originated in Austria;

As did several other similar pastries; many of which are the same pastry, but not crescent shaped; including the ( non-crescent) chocolate ones and the spiral " pain au raisins".

All are called , in French, "Viennoiseries"; introduced, and made popular, by a Viennese baker who came to Paris in the early 1800s.

So if it's not curved , it should be simply a viennoise...

Useless fact of the day:

The French could not give a flying fuck what the Brits do with their croissants which aren't croissants.

That's why they've gone straight so it's easier to spread jam.
