I submit she's the munchkin spawn of Tatu (sp)on Fantasy Island. “Speaking of Rachael Ray, as they do constantly on TV these days, does anyone else find her hundred-watt hyper-perky good cheer enormously annoying?”

While I suppose you could fill a croissant with just about anything edible, in these parts you find only a few standard fillings: croissant croissant beurre (made with butter, the real thing) croissant au jambon: filled with ham and a cheesy cream sauce, and topped with grilled cheese sauce croissant aux amandes: filled with an almond cream and topped with grilled almond slivers a chocolate croissant would be very odd indeed, since you get the same effect from a pain au chocolat Since Burger King has abandoned France, no croissandwiches here no more. Sigh. About those croissant fillings… While I suppose you could fill a croissant with just about anything edible, in these parts you find only a few standard fillings:

a chocolate croissant would be very odd indeed, since you get the same effect from a pain au chocolat

Since Burger King has abandoned France, no croissandwiches here no more. Sigh.
