Do you like them straight or curved?

Very good!

As any fule no, you can't fit a slice of ham and some cheese inside a curved croissant, I've lived three years in France so I no this. Straight is therefore best.

Croissants should be eaten as they come, with nothing of them, au naturel. I think it is an English obsession to smear things with other things.

I recall sitting in a cheap French hotel and being fascinated by how the French ate theirs. One guy was dipping his in his soup bowl size cup of coffee. It was good coffee too.

I heard someone call them 'crossy-ants' once, I can't think of them as being called anything other than that now.

They are still referred to as 'crossoles' at Chateau Vernon which stems from the younger son's inability to say croissants twenty years ago.

At last, confirmation of what I always thought! Why would anyone put more butter on something that's made of so much butter? And jam as well? You might as well put butter and jam on a slice of Victoria sponge.

Quelle bonne idée!

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

Mutants?

...bacon and egg croissants - no finer breakfast to be had....washed down with a proper cuppa......

Croissants should only be eaten under a tree in the garden, in bright sunlight, in Provence, with a lover whose cup you have filled with a decent cup of coffee.
Defiling them with bacon, cheese or other filth from northern Europe is an abomination.

....back from a late morning bike ride, and my thoughts naturally turn towards lost calorie replenishment.....

....what is not clear from the photo is a dash of HP sauce to further abominate the abominations. I must say they were rather delicious......

Warm, flaky, buttery and nothing on them please. And they have to be curved to remind us of kicking the Ottomans out of Europe in the 15th century.

I put butter (and jam) on crossyants, it's ludicrous not too, just proves what utter heathens the French are.

I prefer them untouched by condiments. @vernon , you should have added a poll to the thread.
