Oh oh oh. I want a croissant! Unfortunately my local bakery doesn't do good croissants. They do dry ones. :(
Actually, La Baguette is one of the very few places in Rome where croissants are decent (meaning: made the French way i.e. full of butter and a little salt - the Italian version is less fat but WAY too sweet).
You don't even want to hear about what passes for croissants around here. Ditto bagels. Your table looks charming! Enjoy!
Aaargh! Do NOT tell me about bagels! They are totally unavailable in Rome and iI think I shall have to resort to baking some myself...
Oh how you make me long for the continent.
I think I will go make some tea.
The continent? I thought only the Brits did say this type of things.
Is this because of the island position of Vancouver?
lol... not really... I was just being silly. When I was younger I had a best friend who grew up in England and she referred to Europe as 'the continent'. After I had returned from my third trip to Europe she said I was officially allowed to call it 'the continent' so I do that sometimes as a sort of snooty insider joke on my part.
Canadians in general do have closer ties to British-speak than many other English-speaking countries though... we still have 'the queen' on our coins and we spell things with the 'British' spelling rather than the 'American' spelling (we prefer 'colour' rather than 'color' and 'favourite' rather than 'favorite' for example).
Oh.. and 'Vancouver' where I live is on the mainland of North America... but my family lives on 'Vancouver Island' which is a large island just off the coast from Vancouver (it is about the size of England). Although Vancouver is the largest city in our province it is not the capital city. Victoria (on the southern tip of Vancouver Island) has that honour (there's another Canadian spelling.. honour instead of honor).
I used to work in a small restaurant called 'The Great Canadian Bagel Company' (one of a chain of such stores). I overdosed on bagels and cream cheese back then and I have only been slowly coming back to it.
The worst croissant I have eaten was on a Ryanair flight. They are absolutely ghastly and very expensive and worst of all, cold. YUK!
How lovely and YUM! I haven't had a decent croissant in forever. They're either dry or rubbery (?) or taste like nothing. :(
When we went to Ischia, they served croissant at breakfast that were filled with a lemon custard or creme. Good for a bite or two, but extraordinarily sweet.
