Only one that was not insecure about his masculinity. I'm very fond of croissants and I'm not at all effeminate (ask my wife) :).

I was just teasing. I've never had a croissant and wouldn't know one if it landed on my head. Can one put gravy over it?

Why are you jumping in on this anyway?

I'm teasing, too. Where are the smilies?

Please assume that I'm usually teasing on this sort of thing. I understood (and appreciated) your humor. I hope you can appreciate mine, as well. I have a friend that accuses me of "arcane reference". I'll try harder to be more clear.

One can put gravy on a croissant. It would be a waste, though.

How DOES one consume a croissant anyway? I'm assuming it's some kind of roll, but does it have any particular qualities that lends itself to ... say.... butter and honey? That's what I would choose if faced with an unwelcome croissant - I think. I am from biscuit country and while my body may have ventured out of that domain, my taste buds have not.

The first thing that came to my mind when I heard Quasi discuss croissants was here, starting at about 1 min, 30 sec in.

You're in for a treat! A croissant is made from very flaky pastry with a LOT of butter. It wonderfully stands on it's own without any extra additions. Honey would be good, though. It can also be used to make yummy sandwiches out of anything you can think of. Just a little cheese (brie or Swiss) can make it ethereal.

You MUST try it! I wouldn't steer you wrong.

Thanks, asbestosman! I had never thought about my being shaped like a croissant. Leave it to my friends the gargoyles to point that out.

Grocery store? BAkery? What? Actually I am in another town for the next ten days where spouse can't monitor what I eat, so time to indulge.
