I love them. When I was 15 my brother and I ordered some in an Amsterdsm cafe, he had butter etc on his but I wanted mine plain, as I prefer them that way. His were nicely presented on a plate whereas mine were sealed in a clear plastic bag. We received some rather odd looks from staff and patrons alike as we sat at our table, with me eating mine out of said bag...
Until embarrassingly recently, I had only ever had them on their own in their natural, glorious, buttery state. I am not very much into lightly toasting them and having them with smoked cheese *chef's kiss*
Also, I miss the days when I could travel to Nice or Marseille and nibble on a croissant with butter and jam while enjoying a strong coffee at cafe on an early spring morning.

That's a nice memory, thanks for sharing! I definitely prefer mine on a plate!
As would I but I didn't really know what to say!

I love mine with a slice of ham and cheddar cheese.

Give me a good, well-baked, flaky, buttery, warm, *plain* croissant and I'm a Happy Yoghurt.
That's quite the origin! Never knew it 😊
