Croissants

#1 Post by Veem »

The fresh croissants from our local supermarket are quite nice. At the moment two warmed through with honey are my preferred breakfast. However, on Mondays the bakery department is closed and on Monday I wanted to buy a few croissants. So I had a look at the packaged bread shelves and picked up a bag of 8 Chabrior croissants. I heated two yesterday and ate almost one of them before throwing 7 and a bit in the bin. They were doughy and tasteless. Nothing like any croissant I've ever eaten.

Someone must buy them regularly enough for Chabrior to continue to make them. I just can't imagine who ....

We keep a bagfull of lidlyaldi croissants in the freeezer so there's always one available.
I'm no croissant connoisseur so they taste pretty much the same as any boulangerie made job to me.
Hot from the micro with a cheese filling is my preference :)

I can recommend the Picard Croissants and Pain au Chocolate. Twenty minutes in the oven and they taste like they've just come out of a bakery.

Picard's products are excellent.
