The croissant is one of the most magnificent articles of pastry on earth and it should be treated with the proper respect.

How could it be that americans can't pronounce croissant correctly but they still insist on a pretentious, faux-french style for 'herb'? Just what is the matter with these people?

Listen, I'm british so that means I'm really smart and you have to do what I tell you. Croissant is pronounced 'kwa-sorn'; herb is pronounced 'herb'. If someone tells you otherwise, you slap them right in the mouth.

God knows what crimes @Gratefulmom has had to witness done to 'au jus'. "Oh, juice"?

This was a fun vid to watch. I agree, as an American, I do some of these things, however, being French I always pronounce croissant the french way, I also get funny looks. Just like when I pronounce au jus the french way at work, I get told I should pronounce it the right way or people say, "bless you". I find it funny. Also, I always say your welcome after a thank you, but I know a lot of people that react the way he said. Nice find

Flapping my wings to create gale-force winds, my most effective defense against blowhards.
Chorizo?? That shits nasty, only people I know of who eat that shit aren't your run-of-the-mill 'Hispanic', they're hardcore Mexican.

Oh and while we're on the subject, Mexican baked goods. I know the French were only there for maybe 6 years hard, but you'd think that Mexico might have gathered a bit more intelligence on the process of making a proper croissant? Butter fat vs beef tallow - ain't rocket science!

What else ain't rocket science? Seeing shit like this video and not knowing that you are already on planet police.

croissant

...eat what?!

Never watched Coneheads for one?

Alright, I'm from Texas. That should provide stereotype cannon fodder enough.

As for Francais, I know a little Cajun French. However, before I demonstrate my acumen or lack thereof, I think I need the above query satisfied.

As to Rennes,...read a bit about Rennes Le Chateau and seen a bit of footage. It looks to be a magnificent region.

Zut alors, un Francais - sacre bleu! J'espere que tu as mange ton croissant deja aujourd-hui!

Phew! While I lived in Rennes for six months over ten years ago, writing French was never my strong point. I am well versed in French stereotypes, however. So be warned...

Thanks, Chicc - now tell me your nationality, so I can regale you with painful 80s stereotypes from your home country!

It's a fair dinkum corker...Congratulations on your Ruby.

God damn those look good.

I tried making these at home a little while ago and I gotta say that that machine looks like the coolest thing ever. I love a well made croissant.

Competence is sexy. Competence and chocolate croissants are even sexier.

Fake, but then again, a Frenchie may actually be knocked out by a girly slap. JUST KIDDING, PUT DOWN YOUR WEIGHTED CROISSANTS.


I expected a bigoted comment from a banjo-picking Cletus like yourself... Wait! That makes me clairvoyant, doesn't it?!

HON HON HON HON!!.. (That's just me laughing in my native language...)

At least the French expose their charlatans, in the U.S. they get elected speaker of the house!
