to proclaim that my DH is all kinds of wrong in how he prepares his croissants...

[dayslikethis]

Please settle an argument - marital bliss is at stake here.

I know think that when putting jam on a croissant you stick the knife into the croissant and spread it around on the INSIDE.

DH believes wrongly that you should upturn said croissant and spread jam on the bottom.

He's wrong - right? Please tell me I'm right!

When I lved in France, we tore up our croissants and dipped them in our morning beverage, namely milky coffee or hot chocolate. Tastes lovely.

Nooooo

You do as you do.

Cut long ways on its side, smother with jam.

No butter.

[dammmit]

People put stuff on croissants? Nooooo, you're all bonkers

[beautygal29]

I think your both wrong but he is more wrong as more people seems to employ your method.You should tear small pieces and spread jam on those accordingly.

You can actually but filled croissants dammit. In cafes, purposely made for people to eat, with savoury stuff inside like a sandwich.

True story.

I have to go and get an unbaked croissant out of the freezer now to defrost and rise and then bake tomorrow morning.

And then I will tear the gorgeous little legs off and dip them in proper coffee.

Jam is only for baaaaaad croissants.

I sometimes stab my croissant horizontally with a sharp knife and poke some good dark chocolate into it, then warm in the oven, much nicer than the pain au chocolat available here.

Lived in France for twenty years and never seen ANYONE put butter on a croissant. They have about half a pack of butter each in them.

Have seen the odd person tear bits off and add jam but most French people would just dip them in their hot beverage (most likely coffee).

Spreading anything on the bottom of a croissant is weird and wrong. And only slightly more weird and wrong than spreading in the middle.

For the love of God stop talking about croissants, I'm trying to diet here! My mouth is actually watering.
