Schrippe vs. Croissant

[BeBMan]

What's better?

A "Schrippe" is what's sometimes also called a "Brötchen" by uninformed Krautmen or (as wiki teaches me) a "bread roll" by British lengwhich aggressors.

I think it's overall vastly superior to the croissant, though croissants are nice too.

Ludicrous poll. The schrippe simply is no match for the croissant.

Croissant, by a mile. I love Brotchen, but they're just not as awesome, sweet or fattening as a croissant. Now, croissant or brioche would be a tough decision. Or American pancakes.

Noooo, just look how I elegantly integrated the banana option into the second question

[LordShiva]

That's too avant-garde for my liking.

I like them both equally. I prefer schippe in the winter and croissants in the summer.

Crumpets > all (except maybe sugar'd up fruit scones)

It would have worked better if the pic you posted didn't have a straight croissant in :

Why don't you just inject filth straight into your veins in the morning instead of eating a croissant. Not that white flour bread is that great for you but at least it rises above the croissant, I got served a chocolate covered croissant as breakfast while in France once. Really more of a dessert than staple of your diet isn't it?

Breakfast is often sweet. Look at pancakes, waffles, etc. Even breakfast cereals have a lot of sugar in them. Even people who have toast or Brotchen often put butter and jam on them. Breakfast is sweet in most parts of the world.

"Schrippe"? In Bayern, when I was there they called that "Semmel".

Anyway, it depends highly on the quality of the croissant.
Croissants can be great, but not so many people know how to make them right. And a bad croissant is terrible.
You can easily get very crappy croissants in cheap hotels, restaurants or supermarkets.

Schrippe seems to depend far less on quality. I mean even low quality Schrippe can still be called 'food'.

So, if both are cheap, bad quality or if I want to play safe, I'd go for the Schrippe.
If I know it's quality, if I know the baker or if they look fine enough for a try, I'd go for the croissant.

It's "Schrippe" in Berlin and the Brandenburg region. And since we here are usually in conflict with Bavaria we claim to have ultimate authority on that matter, and declare their use of "Semmel" wrong and inferior....

We sometimes use "Semmel" here for a kind of double-Schrippe (same stuff, same taste, just two of them baked together).
