French people wouldn’t mind this and if some did they’d still rather swallow their tongues rather than admitting that you managed to make them angry.
I’m French, this looks great. A true french reaction would be “uh ! I’ll try it”
Right?! We’ll be upset only if it tastes bad. Given by how pale they look I’m not confident it won’t.
Punctuation checks out.
What in god’s green earth is this?
I love a croissant with cheese and ham as much as the next guy, but why does the cheese look… foamy? And why is the ham MELTING?? And why is it OVER THE CROISSAINT!!!
It’s lovecraftian…
I’m going to that this at face value and assume you were high or sleepy. Lmao
That is something like a lemon curd or custard inside, and a pink buttercream style frosting on top.
« Non mais tu te fous de ma gueule ou quoi!?! Putain mais c’est quoi cette merde!?! »
Who gives a fuck what the French think? The origins of the croissant are Austrian.
The origin sure, as much as bread’s origin is in wheat. Croissant as you know it is French, from Paris specifically. Not that I condone them having some kind of veto on how people get to use this invention now.
No, the shape and most of the composition. The French are just entitled enough to pretend it is theirs. Western European nations seem to like doing this.
Hello. I’m Austrian. I approve of mango croissants. We have apricot ones, so why not this.
There’s plenty innovative croissant shops in paris too. Bet the threats they received were from “French” Americans.
I’m not mad about the mango filling, but those croissants look really pale
Its so called bicolor croissant that you put tape of colored dough on top of regular dough before forming. Its often intentional to bake regular dough pale to show contrast between the colored dough.
Source: I searched recipe for cacao-colored bicolor croissant but never tried.
Informative comment, thanks!
the rise is good, though. i imagine they used something like rice flour
Maybe the moisture of the mango strips kept it from browning properly.
One day I’m going to cook something that gets me death threats and that’ll be a glorious day.
I already did. My recipe for Puppy and Kitten Livers Flambe was not well received.
Did you use ketchup? That really seems to trigger some peopke.
But half of it is air?
Always has been.
As a french croissant maker, yours look amazing. You are definitely skilled and I would taste those enthousiastically
Why is everyone hating on french people? I do not quite get it.
The French like to pretend the way they do things is the only correct way to do things.
The one thing I will give the French, they don’t take shit. When the French gov tried to raise the retirement age (if I remember correctly) people took to the streets in a big way. It was glorious.
most nations especially the USA could learn a lot about how to maintain a democratic state from France
The secret is spicing it up with an empire every now and then… Oh fuck the Americans are doing exactly that
Like traffic laws.
The way the French traffic laws work, it would literally be safer if it was just a free-for-all.
Imperialist cultures are easy to take swings at.
American culture is a lot more imperialist than French culture. France is not an imperialist power now, unlike the US. In fact, out of the allies of the US, it has been the one that has shown the most opposition to US military interventions in the middle east. Why not hate on America? In any case, I am certain that you know very little about french culture.
France still holds colonies. You probably should look into that bit before talking about imperialism. France’s longest border is shared with Brazil.
It’s also one of the countries that was dumping its waste in Somali waters. France shouldn’t be ignored just because the US eclipses all other imperialisim in the world at the moment.
Does the US currently eclipse all others? I would argue Russia has that crown as they currently are invading Ukraine to steal land and resources, after that it would be theUSA
Russia is more overt and aggressive. Historically, the US has a thousand sins that are more subtle.
I can hate both equally, thank you.
You must not be American; we can only do one thing at a time.
Unless it’s just ruining everything; we count that as one thing, even if it’s not.
And we shit on the US as well for it.
Same with Russia and China.
People say all kinds of things yet France remains an incredibly popular holiday destination. It’s mostly tsundere bickering. French people can be arrogant but honestly not nearly as much as the Dutch and they get zero shit for it. And the other stereotypes like being romantic, liking good food or having a knack for arts aren’t actually negative if you think about it. They just get overexaggerated.
Right. They have contributed a lot to culture. A lot of literary, scientific, technological, philosophical and artistic achievements. Idk why people that have only benefited from France by enjoying these achievements, and not at all suffered from it as some have, unfortunately, hate on it.
You say romantic, I say cheating whores.
It’s called polyamory, Frenchies, you can just have an open relationship.
Well, last time the French wanted to guillotine someone, they did.
Man I love croissants, they must be one of my top 5 things to eat. Fresh ones don’t really need anything at all. They’re already buttery. These mango croissants look amazing.
They make a great side for almost anything too. With eggs? Hell yes. With a glass of wine? Duh. Add them to an Irish breakfast with black pudding? Totally works. Cold, on a chicken waldorf sandwich? Of course. With a dollop of ice cream or crème fraîche? If only I could be so lucky.
There’s really no wrong way to enjoy a croissant, unless you’re putting something totally inedible like drain cleaner with it. There are some foods I would never add, like spray cheese or olives, but that’s really just personal preference.
So that’s not a Croissant Hawaii? :(
These look amazing. Fuck the haters.
What’s the big deal?
Food purists would have you believe there’s specific ways you have to make foods so they are correct. Like baguetts are only supposed to have butter, puff pastry and water. Pizza is only supposed to be fresh soft mozzarella, crushed tomatoes, and basil. Steak should only have buttery, thymey pan sauce on it. Deviations are an affront to their culture and an insult to their ancestors.
The correct way is however you like, whatever tastes good to you, whatever you’re willing to pay for, and if you run a business, whatever sells.
I like my fried eggs on toast with cream cheese, honey and paprika. I like my pizza made ultra thin on tortilla wraps with salami, sweet potato and anchovies. I like my banana bread with choc chips AND dried cranberries. Other people are gonna like their food in different ways or even hate it my way, and that’s okay.
But is it mango specifically or any fruit croissants? Strawberry croissants are pretty common around here but I’ve never been to France to know if it’s common there too
I don’t think fruit croissants would go over well with The French. It has to be butter or nothing.
If you’re very lucky they will put chocolate in it but then insist it’s now somehow a different product.
French guy here. Multiple bakery already make strawberry croissant around here and none of them being burn to the ground. Be aware that most of French are troll when talking about food, the other part are mostly alt right who’s seeing cultural invasion in EVERY FUCKING THING. Enjoy your croissant as it is (except if it’s not buttery and hot wtf is wrong with you)
Gotta admit I’m tempted by the fusion, and in the spirit of it, to steer the concept further away from a European style, I’d pair it with matcha ice cream.
So it’s not just us Italians
