Oh yeah?  What do you think fraternité means?

 

We called it "giving stones" back in my high school days, but I guess that didn't sound homosocial enough.

 

 

The French are lame.

The first production of a Croissant dates back to 1683. That year, Austria was under siege by the Turkish Empire. In Vienna, the Turkish assailant found that time was slipping past and decided to dig an underground tunnel to enter the city. The Vienna bakers, the majority of whom worked underground, heard noises and called in the army. The Turks were discovered and retreated.

 

The bakers were thanked and honored and they decided to make bread in the shape of a crescent moon (the symbol of the Turkish flag) and the croissant was born. One hundred years later, Marie Antoinette (Austrian Princess who married Louis XVI), introduced the croissant to the French Aristocrats.

 

It was only at the start of this century that the butter puff croissant was created, and became the French national product in 1920.

The French Boule is a hearty, ball shaped loaf. It has a crisp, golden crust on the outside and prepared by gently hand-kneading to preserve the delicate, chewy inside. In 1920 a law was passed preventing bakers from working before 4am. This made it impossible to make the traditional loaf in time for customers' breakfasts. The longer, thinner baguette originally developed in Vienna in the middle of the 19th century solved the problem because it could be prepared and baked much more rapidly. It has become a classic French favorite, the baguette is hand rolled into the traditional "wand" shape. The crust is a beautiful, crispy, golden brown. The interior is light and chewy.

Actually, the history of croissants is much debated and is a mystery. That is one of the stories. Others say it comes from as far back as Sumeria, some from Babylon, some from Rome of Greece (obviously would be different than what we know today because no ovens). It's ridiculously interesting, lol.

 

Imo, though, there is always the opportunity for it to come from somewhere else. Regardless, though, when I think of croissants (finally I spelled it right :blush:), I think of France. When I think of Frwnch fries, I think of the US not Belgium. When I think of pizza, I think Italy, not China. They may not have created the originals, but they have the reputation of today's 'perfection' of those foods.

 

Although the croghnut might make that change :laugh:.

^ looks harsher than I meant it!

 

You are correct in that they are not original french foods. I just think of them as such, because of the reputation :smile:.
