Dear god, I just looked up Merriam-Webster on croissant, out of curiosity. Cruh-SONT, more or less.

A croissant is a butter and pastry breakfast item that melts in the mouth. A cruhsont is the British version, which can be used as a thrown weapon due to the decision to make it with lard.

I wish Bread had re-recorded "I want to make it with you" as "I want to make it with lard" for the British market

Strange: most of the ones that I see on sale here are made with French butter & imported, esp the ones I buy for the freezer & bake in air-fryer. Can't say I've ever seen a lard one.

A bit fed up of these "everything is crap here in UK" posts when it's untrue. The Eeyore tendency is damned irritating.

Yes, a lot of things are f'd up & cd be better, but it's not a dystopian hellhole & good food is available.

You can even get decent gf croissants in the UK now. (Cook for longer than the instructions say, though!)

I just get the ordinary ones, usually from Aldi or Lidl. I can recreate the breakfast I have when in Paris: freshly-baked croissant and a hot chocolate.

You're lucky you can do that. I would be very sick.

I'm fluent in French and still say it that way because people give you shit for being a pretentious asshole if you try to pronounce it correctly
