What in god's green earth is this?
I love a croissant with cheese and ham as much as the next guy, but why does the cheese look... foamy? And why is the ham MELTING?? And why is it OVER THE CROISSAINT??!!
It's lovecraftian...
I'm going to that this at face value and assume you were high or sleepy. Lmao
That is something like a lemon curd or custard inside, and a pink buttercream style frosting on top.
It was meant as a joke, since it resembles ham and cheese, which are genuinely good in a croissant, but hey.
Looks like icing, not frosting.
Not had my coffee yet, but that's obviously canadian bacon and pineapple
Am I missing the joke?
Oh god, a crompouce.
You know we should just keep this stuff within the Netherlands. No need to inflict it on other countries :)

I’m not mad about the mango filling, but those croissants look really pale
Its so called bicolor croissant that you put tape of colored dough on top of regular dough before forming. Its often intentional to bake regular dough pale to show contrast between the colored dough.
Source: I searched recipe for cacao-colored bicolor croissant but never tried.
Informative comment, thanks!
the rise is good, though. i imagine they used something like rice flour

Man I love croissants, they must be one of my top 5 things to eat. Fresh ones don't really need anything at all. They're already buttery. These mango croissants look amazing.
They make a great side for almost anything too. With eggs? Hell yes. With a glass of wine? Duh. Add them to an Irish breakfast with black pudding? Totally works. Cold, on a chicken waldorf sandwich? Of course. With a dollop of ice cream or crème fraîche? If only I could be so lucky.
There's really no wrong way to enjoy a croissant, unless you're putting something totally inedible like drain cleaner with it. There are some foods I would never add, like spray cheese or olives, but that's really just personal preference.
Slather the puff dough in sugar and cinnamon, roll them up, then squeeze them in the middle so that the filling partly oozes out so it can caramelise and crystalise. The best ones are flaky, soggy, and crispy, all in one. Think of it as a cross between a croissant and crème brûlée. Plus cinnamon.
Ugh that sounds incredible. I love cinnamon rolls in the first place, so with croissant pastry, hell yeah.

These look amazing. Fuck the haters.
French people wouldn't mind this and if some did they'd still rather swallow their tongues than admitting that you managed to make them angry.
I'm French, this looks great. A true french reaction would be "uh ! I'll try it"
Right?! We’ll be upset only if it tastes bad. Given by how pale they look I’m not confident it won’t.

Well, last time the French wanted to guillotine someone, they did.
What's the big deal?
Food purists would have you believe there's specific ways you have to make foods so they are correct. Like croissants are only supposed to have butter, puff pastry and water. Pizza is only supposed to be fresh soft mozzarella, crushed tomatoes, and basil. Steak should only have buttery, thymey pan sauce on it. Deviations are an affront to their culture and an insult to their ancestors.
The correct way is however you like, whatever tastes good to you, whatever you're willing to pay for, and if you run a business, whatever sells.
I like my fried eggs on toast with cream cheese, honey and paprika. I like my pizza made ultra thin on tortilla wraps with salami, sweet potato and anchovies. I like my banana bread with choc chips AND dried cranberries. Other people are gonna like their food in different ways or even hate it my way, and that's okay.

There is not a single world where the people who sent death threats if they even exist are French. Variations of croissant are also common in France and the one shown above in the picture looks highly qualitative.
Trolls on the other end pretending to be French and outraged, now that seems more likely.
If the croissant variant just looks like shit French people will likely make fun of it. But death threats? Bullshit.

Gotta admit I'm tempted by the fusion, and in the spirit of it, to steer the concept further away from a European style, I'd pair it with matcha ice cream.
As a french croissant maker, yours look amazing. You are definitely skilled and I would taste those enthousiastically
Freedom horns!
It sounds gross, but it looks like they are made well and they probably know more about flavor profiles than I do, so I'm not against it in theory. Would probably not order it myself, but I'd have a bite of my friends if they offered, at least for novelty sake.
Ooh I want to do a guava and cream cheese croissant now.
Is it good?
