I did the working weird overtime hours in an investment bank thing last night – til 4am to be precise… I didn’t really enjoy myself, but my lack of Edinburgh money means I can ill afford to turn it down.
One thing that kept me going was that for the second day running in Sainsbury’s I had picked up some croissants from the new and improved bakery bit reduced, two for 10p, and that when I was to awake the following afternoon/morning I could have them for breakfast.
When I did get up this afternoon I remembered the cheapo croissants and popped them in the oven, making a coffee and preparing me a little plate with buttery stuff and jam.
Woop. Life is good.
As I got the croissants out of the oven I thought they were a little on the heavy side, perhaps too dense, but in my jam spreading glee I didn’t pay it too much thought.
I sat down on my sofa and took a bit, it was very nice. But something was slightly unexpected. It all tasted too sweet, maybe I had been overzealous with my jam application. As I went to put another load on I noticed the inside of the croissant had something in it.
IT WAS A FUCKING ALMOND CROISSANT
These are my favourite types of croissant, and I had two, for 10p. Oh happy days. I spurned the jam and ate up the delicious nutty goodness, thankful for my lucky streak.
Though am worried about those with nut allergies, buying an unmarked croissant, but I guess if you have a nut allergy that could kill you you’d be a fool to brazenly attempt a croissant with no label, perhaps even foolhardy.
