Do you like them straight or curved?

[vernon]

I refer you to the Tesco decision to only stock straight croissants because their customers expressed a preference to straight ones because they could be smeared with jam or marmalade with one smooth sweeping movement.

I'm sure that curmudgeons will have strongly held views and I've found the perfect venue for them to vent their spleens - the Grumpy Feckers Coffee Shop

There's a range of merchandise available

Grumpy feckers news from the web site:

99% of world’s male population ‘blind to dirty dishes and full trash cans’

Man in hospital after attempting to cross lake on a rowing machine

Porn film banned for ‘falsely portraying plumber turning up when he said he would’

Curmudgeons of the world unite! Meet kindred spirits at the Grumpy Feckers Coffe Shop.

I'll be next door in the Fart 'n Ferret enjoying a pie and a pint.

There are sound ergonomic reasons for the curve in a croissant. Any Frenchman could tell you that and fifty million Frenchmen can't be wrong.

I dont eat croissants..give me thick cut granary any day

Croissants should never be cut, dipped in coffee maybe, cut never.

But then it is Tesco.

I don't see the point of croissants. Give me crumpets any day

Straight ones are made of butter, curved ones are made of marg.

If croissants aren't crescent-shaped don't we have to call them something else?

Sounds like a Tesco attempt to make the best of a stupid decision.

I actually hate what croissants stand for here in the UK ... a supposed show of some European-style sophistication, adopted and taken to ridiculous extremes of ubiquity ... like flipping cappuccino (and all it's horrible variants) or blooming prosecco. Sheesh.

They should be twisted as it tastes better.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We do. Have you never asked for 'un croissant' in a French cafe?

They make good boomerangs?

 

[Globalti]

Croissants? Them's French ain't they?

Why can't people stick with proper English food like curry, pizzas and kebabs?

I haven't. This is a trick question, isn't it...?

Curved croissants for me please, it makes things so much easier when preparing a banana sandwich.
