Much like in other parts of the world, the croissant—a French delicacy—is also loved in India as a breakfast item or a 4pm snack. It is light, flaky and crisp on the outside, with a soft, airy and buttery interior, making it a perfect pairing with tea or coffee. However, when it becomes hard, it is difficult to eat.
An X (formerly Twitter) user took to the microblogging site to share a similar experience. He wrote that he was having a "rock-hard" croissant at the Lemon Tree Hotel in Pune. "Forget eating it, you cannot even break it," he said.
"This is the standard of a croissant at @LemonTreeHotels Pune. And this is their premier outlet, the supposed luxury outlet at ~₹10k/night," he stated, criticising the hotel.
Meanwhile, netizens had a field day commenting on his post.
"Sir, be careful, you might end up breaking the plate at the rate this is going," commented one user.
"Bhai, this is the universe asking you to stop eating croissants," wrote another user.
A third user joked, "Please send some to Bangalore. We can use it to build houses and roads."
"Indian chefs and restaurants should stick to samosas only; never seen an edible croissant in the country," remarked a fourth person.
