Althouse: "The Cronut – the US pastry sensation that must cross the Atlantic."

June 6, 2013

"The Cronut – the US pastry sensation that must cross the Atlantic."

Big American trends that I'm only hearing about because of a foreign news report.

Wait 'til they hear about deep-fried Twinkies.

UPDATE: Kringle.

Chip Ahoy said...: I heard through the grapevine how to make croissants in a big way BLAM like that and it changed my life.

But to say croissant you must block off your nose and say flatly as a brute within a non-brutish sentence so that it sticks out, "quaw-soo"; 6/6/13, 8:39 AM

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: Chip - that "Quaw-soo" vid was highly educational and enlightening.

After I eat all of those goodies, I'd need to be squeezed through that machine.; 6/6/13, 8:57 AM
Strick said...: I understood that the "deep fried anything" trend started with a chip shop in Scotland discovering deep fried Mars bars.

Twinkies came later, a natural evolution on the path to the annual deep fried food contest held at the Texas State Fair each year.; 6/6/13, 9:10 AM

They'll deep-fry you when you're at the breakfast table
They'll deep-fry you when you are young and able
They'll deep-fry you when you're trying to make Cronuts
They'll deep-fry you and then they'll say good luck
It's as American as Mom's Apple Pie
Everybody must get deep-fried.

Hmmm.
