Croissants are kind of like Reese's Peanut Butter cups... now, stay with me here.
Everyone has their own method of eating PB Cups; I mean, even the advertising people took note, and made a whole series of commercial highlighting the fact that everyone eats a Reese's their own way.
Well, that's how I feel about croissants. From a purely mechanical point of view, some people eat the ends first. Others tear off an end and bite the rest of the way. Still others use their hands to tear off chunks all the way through.
Then there's the whole issue of accoutrements. Some (like yours truly) are croissant purists -- if it's good enough to eat, it's good enough not to fool with. For others, a croissant is simply not complete without a bit of butter and jam.
And of course, we musn't forget those who take a bite of delicious bittersweet chocolate with their warm croissant. What, you mean that's just me?
So, tell me, how do you croissant?
