to argue that Yes pain au chocolat are a breakfast item?

[TheWindsOfWinter]

I'm not really a big eater in the morning, but something I do eat on occasion are pain au chocolat. I've had them 2 days in a row along with some fruit juice.

DH this morning says that they are not a breakfast item as they have chocolate in them. AIBU to kill him and eat my damn chocolatey goodness

ooh this is still going on goes off to read

He has them plain for pudding; no custard

I showed him this thread, he thinks we're all weird. He's truly baffled. He comes from the weetabix and porridge school of breakfasts though.

I wouldn't expect to have them at any other time than breakfast.

I wish I hadn't opened this thread - I'm dieting, starving hungry and now desparate for pain au chocolat!
Recently stayed in France and found the diet of pastry and baguette very bowel clogging (tmi !). Delicious though!

It abso-bloody-lutely is! I love them and have them some weekends! He's crazy, crazy I tell you!

Of course it is much better not to have so much choccy or sugar for brekkie. However, since I discovered the frozen Waitress pain au chocolate, I do them every weekend. They go in a hot oven for 15/20 mins and are nicer than any I get in the shops. I make sure it is balanced by serving porridge that morning before they are ready.

One of my friends went to boarding school in France and for breakfast was given a croissant with a bar of chocolate stuck in the middle.

guybrush crêpes with jam used to be the traditional "I can't be bothered" (often Sunday) dinner my very French mother used to make. I keep the tradition going with my baffled American DH. It's awesome.
