Savory croissants are a thing. Ham and cheese, smoked salmon and capers, chicken salad and lettuce, egg omelet with prsto and caramelized onions, headcheese/liverwurst if you're lucky, etc.
Nay, this all wrong, though you can get them in some disreputable sandwich shops - but liverwurst????
You want to be sitting on a patio, in the south of France, just after the nice baker lady in a van has been and delivered your fresh croissants, and maybe a baguette or two, and with a cup of freshly brewed coffee at your elbow, and a big slab of Normandy butter, some jam, some marmalade. There will be bees humming in the lavender and/or jasmine.
Every time I have been to France (in the countryside) I have bakery stuff (and other stuff) delivered. If you read any modern novels on French life you will see this happening. Do you expect people all drive into town to get their croissant?
Must be a long queue outside the boulangerie at breakfast time then? And I have lived in France, and French Switzerland, myself, so I am somewhat aware of what I am talking about.
Interesting that you find filling them with nutritious food is yuck but dipping them in coffee or adding sugar in the form of marmalade or jam to a starch/fat is good.
I’m tempted to be flippant and dismiss the whole idea, but the author’s explanation are interesting. I did keto for about 3 years, at first to lose some extra belly fat, and then to manage my narcolepsy. It’s a really tough lifestyle, sort of like being vegan but with far less dining options. You become that weird friend who can’t just go out for a slice of pizza, or even eat some cake at a birthday party.
Strange enough, I’m older now and most foods with refined carbs give me issues like bad sleep or abdominal cramps. The idea of eating a croissant in the morning is a bit horrifying! Will it put me in a food coma, or will I have brain fog until the evening?
I will say, having been following this blog for a spell, that cutting out seed oils a couple months back seems to have raised my average body temperature a few tenths of a degree. YMMV.
Yuck! A joke, I assume? They are meant for dipping in your coffee, or perhaps having with a little extra butter and marmalade or jam.
I've actually made croissants from scratch a few times - it's not hard as it might seem, but is a bit of an effort.
