TO CURVE OR NOT TO CURVE

On a day when political junkies are watching South Carolina and Nevada, a new issue has arisen in Great Britain.

The croissant!


What better way to start one's day than with the classic French pastry?

One British baker thinks he has the answer to straighten out his customers.

For his wimpy clientele he is making his croissants without the curve!

Read the story from today's New York Times.

Blasphemy, says I!

To hell with South Carolina!

To hell with Nevada!

With a sense of righteous indignation I say "Leave the croissant alone!"

Is nothing sacred?

  1. I've noticed those straight things that look like croissants in a couple of bakeries, usually filled with chocolate or lemony glop.

    BTW, in SC Ted Cruz sent out a mailer that referred to the Confederate Battle Flag as "our flag"...

  2. Leave it alone and let the British come up with their own pastry.

  3. If it's straight, it is isn't a croissant! Not even a crescent.

  4. That IS pretty terrible - although I'd probably eat it anyway (I know, I'm a philistine).
