Quasant !!

[Generaltwat]

This is the worst spelling I have seen of croissant. I assume that's what is on offer.

I was searching for hotels, and this was in the breakfast section.

Lasagne?

I clicked on this thread because I thought Quasant was a new word to me - or a game like Squaredle.

Quasant is excellent! I very much enjoyed a typo in Boston for their famous calm chowder 😁

My dad tells a story of his office canteen in the 80s where the lunch special one day was pizza. He ordered the pizza and was given a slice of quiche. He politely pointed out that was quiche and not pizza and received the answer "yes, we know. But we don't know how to spell quiche"

Reminds me of the infamous Snakes in the Garden sign

🤣🤣🤣

What was that, please?

Out with friends and we ordered different mini plates of food to try - someone wanted to try the ‘kerfuffle’ only to realise she meant falafel.

Many, many years ago I worked in a small cafe/restaurant where the coffee came in the form of those then-rather-posh individual filters that sat over the cup and were filled with hot water and then dripped through - a mini-filter, brand-name Rombouts.

We’d frequently be struggling to keep a straight face when asked by customers for ‘one of those Rumbelows coffees’.

(And yes, I’m REALLY showing my age. Rumbelows closed in 1995 😱 But you can still get Rombouts filters!)

I can remember working in a shop and the number of customers who asked for a Kit-e-kat was astonishing.

Surely it was stated with confidence rather than in confidence, unless this was some sort of top-secret Mexican cuisine convention.

I had a colleague who told me about the delicious ‘cann-apps’ she had at a wedding.

Pasgetty pisses me off 😂

I think your dad may have been pulling your leg. Quiche has been around for decades, I would find it easier to believe they couldn't spell pizza.

"Kwasan" is the Haitian Creole word for croissant. There are a lot of words which are essentially phonetic spellings of French language words with some English, Spanish, and indigenous words mixed in, like legim (mixed vegetables), sós (sauce or gravy), epis (spice/seasoning), etc. And yes, espageti!
