      I’m unironically getting my masters in bakery technology and it’s a shithole like no other.

      Academia has the way of ruining everything for you. Even sweet warm croissants.

        That’s the saddest thing I’ve heard today 🙁

        I think I need a croissant.

        I’m gonna go get a croissant 🙂

          Have a nice one!

          But remember it was sweat and tears of the people who made it possible. Unless you come to a one-of-a-kind artisan bakery, your croissant is almost certainly made on the factory, very likely in the night shift, delivered as refrigerated/frozen semi-finished product, and put into oven in the place you consider “bakery” by the angry people who had to get up at 4am to do it for the minimum wage.

              Most likely, they aren’t artisan :D

              Unless you’re French, that is. I’d sell my soul for a good French baguette right now.

                Haha, yes I live in France 😉 I have one I go to for baguettes, one for rye bread and cookies, one for “tarte au citron” 😍🍪🥖 I’d happily teleport a fresh baguette to you if I could!
