Croissants - to keep with the baked goods theme.

Once upon a time these delightful treat were crispy, flakey, and reasonably sized. Somehow these things have been Americanized or cross-bred with a hamburger bun. In the zeal to increase theri size and make them a bun replacement for breakfest sandwiches they have become doughy bakery behemoths, lacking the flavor and texture that once made them delightful.

Having never been to France, I cannot compare. I did have a delicious croissant recently at a French bakery but can't for the life of me remember where that bakery is or what it's called. FIE!
