Waitaminute, how should one pronouce the word without sounding French? Croy-SANT? I say Croah-son. Whicb is how the French pronounce it. I don't remember the scene in question; did Bev put an overly fake French overpronounciation on it?

I've now spent most of the morning in an internal debate on how I do actually pronounce the word. Thanks very much. The first syllable I've heard (and said myself) as "Quoi" as in ""Quoi-son." The "T" at the end. . . Nothing wrong with enunciating it, per se, but it's a very silent "T," almost more of a "D."

So somehow, this thread turned from a discussion of phasers and thier properties to an arguement on the proper pronunciation of a french pastry?

Getting back a little on topic... I figured Beverly's pronunciation was a result of the mind link she was sharing with Picard at the time. Of course the Frenchman would pronounce it the French way.

I'm not sure; you can get these tubes of ready-prepared croissant dough, pre-stamped with lines to tear into triangles for rolling: just tear, brush with egg (or butter, can't remember) then roll and bake. Perhaps if I am able to get oven temperatures and cooking times, we can calculate?
You even can get ones which comes with a little sachet of chocolate sticks, for making pain au chocolate, but that's a whole different ballgame.
