🥐🍫 The Great Debate: Chocolatine vs Pain au Chocolat
France has landed on the moon, won World Cups, and invented the metric system — but ask someone what to call this flaky, chocolate-filled pastry and you'll start a civil war.
🗺️ Pain au chocolat — the "official" name, favored by most of the country (allegedly with Parisian smugness)
🗺️ Chocolatine — the proud battle cry of the Southwest (Bordeaux, Toulouse, and friends), who will die on this hill
There is no correct answer. There is only your answer. Choose wisely — you may lose friends over this 😅
