Getting In A Puff About The Pastry
Customer: “What’s that?”
Me: “That’s an almond croissant.”
Customer: “What about that one?”
Me: “A chocolate croissant.”
Customer: “And that one?”
Me: “Plain croissant.”
Customer: “Nah. What’s that?”
Me: “Pain au chocolat.”
Customer: “What the f*** does that mean?”
Me: “It’s a pastry with chocolate in it.”
Customer: “So, it’s like nutty, yeah?”
Me: “Well, we can’t guarantee it’s nut free, but the pastry just contains a roll of chocolate paste.”
Customer: “So what does ‘pain’ mean?”
Me: “It’s the French word for ‘bread’.”
Customer: “Oooh! Posh! So what’s ‘chocolat’ mean, peanuts?”
Me: “Nope, ‘chocolat’ is French for ‘chocolate’.”
Customer: “I don’t like France; too artsy-fartsy. I’ll just have one of them chocolate croissants, then.”
