I don’t know if anybody else will find this amusing or not…maybe if you’ve been to France and experienced a real ‘boulangerie’…
Today I made a baggette and croissant run before home group. There was a man in front of me was looking into the case where all the croissants are displayed and he told the woman that he wanted a specific croissant that he saw…
She stretched out through the case pointing at them, “This one?”
He replied, “Not that one, this one here.”
She said, “This one?”…again.
He replied, “No the one in the front.”
Keep in mind, they all look beautiful!…and the same.
Then she finally found his award winning croissant. The truth is that when you take one bite of these things all of the flaky goodness explodes everywhere and the croissant immediately loses it’s original beauty.
What I’m saying is that it makes no difference, but he demanded to have this specific croissant. He had a croissant crush. He was ‘enbreaduated’ with it.
But you have to respect a guy who knows his croissants. A specialist…well I think that all French are bread specialists.
So if you come to France…take your time in the boulangerie. Pick a winner because they all have their subtle nuances that can make or break your croissant experience.
Justin, you find the most random things to write about! I open up your site frequently to see how God is working in you and I seriously chuckled to see that you wrote an article about picky men and croissants. I kept waiting for the spiritual analogy….still am :-). By the way, I like the ‘newness’ of your blog. It’s great when you play with your photographic skills.
