Advantages: tasty
Disadvantages: fattening
All buttery. Tesco butter croissants.
I occasionally treat myself to a pack of these croissants from Tesco a pack of 4 costs 54p a pack of 6 is 99p a pack of 8 costs £1.05p.
These croissants are packed in a clear plastic so you can see the contents nutritional info of course is printed on the packet. There are 379 calories per 100g of croissant that’s lots must be all the butter. These croissants are suitable for vegetarians .
Croissants are eaten traditionally for breakfast I believe but I rarely eat them at this time. I prefer them as a lunchtime snack...
Croissants are best reheated in the oven at 200C for 3 or 4 minutes to heat and crisp up. They can be microwave but no where near as nice.
These croissants are all butter but they are not greasy they are buttery tasting. They have a good texture and do not fall to pieces when you bite into them. The smell when they are warmed is a lovely bready smell they look attractive.
You could eat your croissants plain for lunch or like me split before heating add a slice of cheese in the middle sometimes some ham , heat this the cheese just melts it is delicious very fatty though. If I want one as a sweet snack I split it and put some jam in the middle.
When camping in France Croissants are often available at the campsite early in the morning so sometimes we will have one for breakfast or buy one to take as a snack when walking the hills. I will add a piece of cheese and a tomato or ham sausage to my lunch pack and eat them together with the croissant
Croissants are not such old traditional bread as we think something similar first recorded being baked in the 17C in Vienna and the first French records of this bread a little later in the same century. There are folk law tales of the croissant being a bread baked to represent the crescent symbol of Islam when an attack by the Turkish on either Vienna or Budapest in around 1685.
Thanks for reading off to get breakfast now sad no croisant just toast
