It was about 35 years ago that I was introduced to the joys of chocolate croissants in Toronto. I'm pretty sure they were sold in only a few places, like the P'tit Gourmet, a really neat delicatessen specializing in French food.
Finally, chocolate croissants have reached Bonfield, Ontario. Not exactly a French-style croissant, more like a North American crescent roll. But not bad.
And get this, city people. It costs 75 CENTS. The one cheap thing for sale on the entire planet.

ReplyDeleteWhile I enjoy chocolate croissants, they are moldy crumbs in comparison with a well-made butter tart --- and Northern Ontario had the best long before Toronto acquire any.
