Croissants, those rolls you eat at breakfast while you do crossword puzzles. I was told that croissant was French slang for crossword until banned by the French word police for sounding too American. Kinda like a Berliner with out the jelly. You can eat a Berliner while doing a crossword but there is no other connection. I don’t thing crosswords are popular in Germany because most of there words are to long to fit easily.
As soon as I finish posting it will be time to get ready for the day and engage brain beyond babble to talk. Some days I go strait to intelligent chatter. Some days.
