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.
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.
I feel like cat liver would be a bad idea. Carnivore livers in general seem like a bad idea.

Me when a single grain of sugar falls into my pasta sauce.
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...
Berlin doughnut croissant?
Would.
Oh god, a crompouce.
You know we should just keep this stuff within the Netherlands. No need to inflict it on other countries :)
Wow, you guys out did the cronut. Impressive, sorta.
« Non mais tu te fous de ma gueule ou quoi!?! Putain mais c’est quoi cette merde!?! »
We got that Tubby Custard grilled cheese jawn up in this bitch
wtf custard with ham on top
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.
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.
Slather the puff dough in sugar and cinnamon, roll them up, then squeeze them in the middle so that the filling partly oozes out so it can caramelise and crystalise. The best ones are flaky, soggy, and crispy, all in one. Think of it as a cross between a croissant and crème brûlée. Plus cinnamon.
Ugh that sounds incredible. I love cinnamon rolls in the first place, so with croissant pastry, hell yeah.
It's the butter, butter I'd the secret ingredient LF french cuisine and baking. More butter, put all the butter !
My first time at a French restaurant, the waiter made a joke like that, but it was that everything is full of butter AND cream.
Who gives a fuck what the French think? The origins of the croissant are Austrian.
classic viennoiserie
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.
French people wouldn't mind this and if some did they'd still rather swallow their tongues 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"
Punctuation checks out.
Right?! We’ll be upset only if it tastes bad. Given by how pale they look I’m not confident it won’t.
Why would they croissants aren't French they're Austrian but popularized by an Austrian baker in France.
These look amazing. Fuck the haters.
But half of it is air?
Always has been.
Maybe it's croissant flavored air?
Well, last time the French wanted to guillotine someone, they did.
Freedom horns!
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.
This is Europeans in general though
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.
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.
You say romantic, I say cheating whores.
It's called polyamory, Frenchies, you can just have an open relationship.
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.
As a french croissant maker, yours look amazing. You are definitely skilled and I would taste those enthousiastically
There is not a single world where the people who sent death threats if they even exist are French. Variations of croissant are also common in France and the one shown above in the picture looks highly qualitative.
Trolls on the other end pretending to be French and outraged, now that seems more likely.
If the croissant variant just looks like shit French people will likely make fun of it. But death threats? Bullshit.
I mean, they could be French trolls, I'd wager that French trolls would be even more likely to do this.
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 croissants 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.
Ooh I want to do a guava and cream cheese croissant now.
So it's not just us Italians
It sounds gross, but it looks like they are made well and they probably know more about flavor profiles than I do, so I'm not against it in theory. Would probably not order it myself, but I'd have a bite of my friends if they offered, at least for novelty sake.
Is it good?
So many of these posts lend credence to the "Ugly American" claim that Euros make of us. Especially the OP that makes a claim yet provides no proof. And you all go along with it.
Why hate on the French? It's a beautiful wonderful country full of great people, and we would not be The USA if they had not intervened a looong time ago. Seems we've forgotten this debt. Don't come back at me about liberating France in WW2 because we were part of an overall allied force doing so; we were far, far from being the only ones.
I guess it's all OK now to be rude to everyone. Expect the same treatment back atcha, and don't scratch your skinheads wondering why.
Man some people on this site lmao. This is called sarcasm and it's funny, they don't actually hate the french.
God you're an idiot, read the room
Glad you spit out your binky long enough to post. Thanx.
