Welcome back to our Food Holidays: April 25th and yes, I am behind. It’s May but that isn’t going to stop me from catching up with everyone. Take a look at the Holidays below and let me know which food item you would most like to try and why.
Now, before you ask me what is the world is a Crotilla. Its a combination between a Croissant and a Tortilla. Which means it looks a lot like Naan or a Pita — only flakier and butterier, according to its description.
Would you eat this and if so how or what would you put on it and why? I could see David and Charlie using it for the Hot Dogs they like to eat. I might toast one and add butter to it for my breakfast.
