The Chocolate Croissant Controversy
Рет қаралды 1,302,643
4 жыл бұрынA chocolate croissant-is it correct to call it a pain au chocolat or a chocolatine in France? Depends on who you ask. It’s a subject of great debate that’s been addressed by the French Parliament and President Emmanuel Macron. We went straight to the people who bake these delicious pastries for an answer. But even they can’t agree. Nous ne prenons pas parti!

Hello, i live in Toulouse and here are some explanations. Chocolatine comes from the Occitan (South West french regional language, also spoken in north Italy and Spain) word "Chocolatina" which means "little chocolate" (-ina = feminine little). So chocolatine is just an old translated "patois" (dialect, slang) word. Since french people are very proud and tied with their regional culture, people from South West (especialy people from Bordeaux and Toulouse) use it to distinguish themself from people living in in the capital. So chocolatine is part of cultural heritage. There is no debate, both word can be used, and loosing one of them would be sad for french language.

@decembrist i literally said they originated from Austria. That's how they were called there. They were called chocolate croissant because they're croissant (made of the same pastry, same dough, same technique) + chocolate. You're calling it pain au chocolat and it ain't bread so if you're going by that logic chocolate croissant shouldn't be a problem. 🤷🏻♀️

"Pain au chocolat" is french for "chocolate bread". "Chocolatine" is an original name for a fairly unique pastry. (with it's two pieces of chocolate and it's buttery flavor) The debate comes from if the pastry of this controversy is popular enough to be recognised only by the pretty broad term of "chocolate bread", or if it's popularity makes it deserving of a completely original name. That name being "chocolatine" due to it being the first BIG alternative to "pain au chocolat". I personally think the latter as I feel like "pain au chocolat" was just supposed to be a placeholder name because the bakers had no inspiration to create a name for a pastry that would 'most likely never catch on anyway'. Its only when people realized that money was to be made by stealing the formula and rebranding it to something more catchy that other names were made. ("chocolatine" being the one to steal the spotlight in the end)

I would argue that, for most of us in the US, the word "croissant" refers more to the puff pastry than it does to the shape (much like the word "circus" no longer refers to a circle but a spectacular show). In that same vain, we have bread products shaped like crescents that we'd call crescent rolls rather than croissants because the dough isn't puffy and crisp.

@@Zveebo - Looks like they're chocolate croissant in New Zealand and Australia, some South American countries, and a few European countries as well. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pain_au_chocolat But, to be fair to the US, many places here don't sell them as "chocolate croissants" but rather "pain au chocolat". We just commonly refer to them as a chocolate croissant. For example, I'll ask my girlfriend if she wants a chocolate croissant as well, and then at the counter I'll ask for two pains au chocolat.

Actually, that pastry was invented by an Austrian baker in the 19th century. He called it Schokoladen Croissant. The French transformed schokoladen into chocolatine. So chocolatine is the original name, historically.
