mom: i remember when i had real, authentic croissants in france
me: mom, croissants originated in austria
my mom:... oh

@lottev
huh... then why does it have a french sounding name instead of a german sounding one?

@alyx they're called kipferl in austria, croissant is the french name

@lottev
My point was, that all over the world we know them as croissant. It's not just the french that call them that. Meanwhile, this is the first time I've heard the word "kipferi".
