So most of my friends think I like French things. I do lah. But not croissants! I like pain au chocolat! When I worked in France I would get up so early and walk to the shop to get a few pain au chocolat for myself. And this was after I had wolfed down 3 or 4 downstairs in my hotel. This particular shop just hits different and closes Mondays so on Sunday mornings I made sure I would get extra for Monday. Otherwise I would have to go to Paul’s. It’s OK but a bit greasy. Then when I walked around Paris during the weekend (which I did every week!) I would get some ice cream at Champs Elysees. The Carette pains au chocolat are OK.
Then Chappy sent me a video about croissants and I told her I genuinely don’t know how to pronounce ‘croissant’ the non-French way.
If the situation improves in West Asia and fuel prices are okay (hoohoo) I think I want to go to Paris this year. It’s one of my favourite cities.
