General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Why are they so expensive in UK?

Unanticipated event prevented my usual shop this weekend, so no toast for brecky.

Local shop only had sliced and Tiger Bread: no thanks, I'd rather go without!

So, had croissant and coffee.

A single croissant cost more than what I usually pay for an 800g Farmhouse loaf!

A lot of the shops sell croissants, and it seems they sell in quantity, so they seem to no longer be a niche item.

Don't eat them often, and I gather they are not a very healthy choice, so perhaps as well they are a more costly alternative.
