How do you eat croissants without getting crumbs everywhere?
What’s your method for doing it? FYI, here’s a suggested method.
Dunk it in water, squeeze it into a tight ball, and take bites like it's an apple.

A plate

Use a plate to catch any crumbs.
22 0 ReplyYou just blew my mind.
3 0 ReplyOr a plastic bag.
(NB, do not put a plastic bag over your head. Even for a croissant)
2 0 ReplyWell, if you can loop one handle around your neck and keep the bag safely under your chin, you should be alright.

If you don't want flakes, don't eat a flaky pastry.
20 0 ReplyEat them outside walking to work.

Awesome idea! And maybe you leave a trail of crumbs for birds :)
3 1 ReplyOr in case you need to find your way home again!
7 0 ReplyGood way to make friends with crows / ravens. Then they adopt you and maybe defend you if you get in a fight.

...a plate?
7 0 ReplySoak them in Nutella
6 0 ReplyThe article’s suggestion of “tear and spread” is what I was going to suggest.
6 0 ReplyI like to peel each layer off and eat them one at a time while I work

This article sounds like the result of assigning a middle school student to write an instructional essay with a required word length. The middle school student asked chat GPT for help.

I stick a vacuum hose up my shirt and zip tie it around my neck so that it catches any loose flakes so that I may eat them later.
5 0 ReplyI don't 👍
5 0 ReplyEnjoy your pastry
4 0 ReplyYou have to create a vacuuming of air with every bite. Just do strong, deep inhales while biting, ripping, and tearing, prior to the chewing. The crumbs will all be sucked inward towards your mouth and lungs, and you won't have any problems
5 1 ReplyExcept for any issues inhaling the crumbs might cause

I avoid moving around while eating it, eat it over a plate/napkin, and then brush the flakes off into the trash. Eating them when they're warm/moist also helps.
4 0 ReplyEat it all in one bite.
3 0 ReplyI put it in a brown paper lunch baggie and eat it from the top so the bag catches the crumbs… for the most part!
3 0 ReplyI bite into the widest part of the middle first, then I peel the layers apart individually and eat them with a fork and knife.
3 0 ReplyWhy would you want to? The more crumbs that drop everywhere, the better it tastes! Just like eating hot wings is best when the sauce gets all over your entire face. If you can get some sauce on your forehead then that's a damned fine wing meal!
3 0 ReplyLots of people have already tried to answer this but I've not seen the correct answer: in bed
3 0 ReplySimply get bad croissants that aren't flaky and leave crumbs everywhere. Like what you'd get from a gas station or rest stop vending machine.
3 0 ReplyI flatten them on the plate with my hand and then put the jelly on top of it, similar to bread/sandwich.
Way easier to eat, but don't tell the French :)
3 0 ReplySorry, you put jam on croissants? Surely ham and cheese is the only option
1 0 ReplyIt’s all getting flattened by your intestines anyways :D

I always eat messy things by leaning over my plate, or carefully taking bites above a bag or whatever. I like being fastidious.

It's not possible. That's like trying to eat a powdered donut and not get the sugar everywhere.
2 0 Reply2 1 ReplyJust pick it up and eat it like a donut, basically no crumbs.
You don't need to add any toppings to them1 1 ReplyHmm no, I don’t recommend! That’s a one way ticket to crumbtopia! I don’t want to downvote you, but I am so so compelled to. I’ll resist, for now..
