I already did. My recipe for Puppy and Kitten Livers Flambe was not well received.

What in god's green earth is this?

I love a croissant with cheese and ham as much as the next guy, but why does the cheese look... foamy? And why is the ham MELTING?? And why is it OVER THE CROISSAINT??!!

It's lovecraftian...

Berlin doughnut croissant?

Would.

Oh god, a crompouce.

You know we should just keep this stuff within the Netherlands. No need to inflict it on other countries :)

Its so called bicolor croissant that you put tape of colored dough on top of regular dough before forming. Its often intentional to bake regular dough pale to show contrast between the colored dough.

Source: I searched recipe for cacao-colored bicolor croissant but never tried.

the rise is good, though. i imagine they used something like rice flour

Maybe the moisture of the mango strips kept it from browning properly.

Slather the puff dough in sugar and cinnamon, roll them up, then squeeze them in the middle so that the filling partly oozes out so it can caramelise and crystalise. The best ones are flaky, soggy, and crispy, all in one. Think of it as a cross between a croissant and crème brûlée. Plus cinnamon.

Hello. I'm Austrian. I approve of mango croissants. We have apricot ones, so why not this.

There's plenty innovative croissant shops in paris too. Bet the threats they received were from "French" Americans.

I'm French, this looks great. A true french reaction would be "uh ! I'll try it"

Why would they croissants aren't French they're Austrian but popularized by an Austrian baker in France.

Always has been.

Maybe it's croissant flavored air?

The French like to pretend the way they do things is the only correct way to do things.

Food purists would have you believe there's specific ways you have to make foods so they are correct. Like croissants are only supposed to have butter, puff pastry and water. Pizza is only supposed to be fresh soft mozzarella, crushed tomatoes, and basil. Steak should only have buttery, thymey pan sauce on it. Deviations are an affront to their culture and an insult to their ancestors.

The correct way is however you like, whatever tastes good to you, whatever you're willing to pay for, and if you run a business, whatever sells.

I like my fried eggs on toast with cream cheese, honey and paprika. I like my pizza made ultra thin on tortilla wraps with salami, sweet potato and anchovies. I like my banana bread with choc chips AND dried cranberries. Other people are gonna like their food in different ways or even hate it my way, and that's okay.
