Croissants

🥐

The ancestor to the modern-day croissant is the kipferl, which hails from Austria.
Austrian entrepreneur August Zang is credited with popularizing the kipferl, the prototype of the modern-day croissant, in France.
The croissant, as we know it today, wasn't created until the early 1900s.
In France, croissants that are straight are those made with butter, while the curved ones are made with margarine.
The worldwide popularity of the croissant has led to the creation of croissant day - 30 January.
