...have nuts. There I said it.

Gimme dat baklava.
Gimme dat macaron.
Gimme dat pecan pie.
Gimme dat chewy peanut butter bar.
Gimme dat almond cream stuffed croissant.

Spoiler: Deez nuts

 

[GeekyDad]

Can't find an official picture, but Cracker Barrel's chocolate pecan pie is pretty effin' crazy. But, I will say, it's also sweet as fug! I love it, don't get me wrong, but it's gotta be a very once in a while thing for me. Can't take too much sweet stuff these days.

 

[AJUMP23]

Apple Fritter is probably the best pastry.

One comes with a slice of cantaloupe at the end.

lack of pastry

 

[Cravis]

Krispy Kreme. It’s diabetes in a box. So good.

 

[belmarduk]

I agree with OP. Baklava was the pistachios.... hell, anything with pistachios is the best.

 

[BigBooper]

Cornish pasty

That a Hot Pocket?

I am neither american not english, this difference between pastries and confections befuddles me.

Can you be clearer?

I don't know what confections is, far as I know it just means "sweets"

but pastry means it generally is made using a substance called pastry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pastry

 

[BigBooper]

Looks good. The Brits know something about savory pastries. I could really go for a meat pie today I think.

Ooooh ooh ooh I see.

In our culinary tradition we don't have a hard distinction between those.

In that case I submit the tatin pie and the casadielles (although technically not pastry according to your definition, they're very close enough).

 

[Alx]

One of my favourites, "oranais" (pastry with fresh apricot and cream)

 

[epicnemesis]

The best pastry is what happens to croissants they enter my home.

I present to you the grilled Nutella croissant (uploaded upside down for some reason)

 

[HarryKS]

Uh, interesting.

What's the difference?

Flour. T'es francais?

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

Flour. T'es francais?

Close enough (they'll never admit it though).

Spaniard.

 

[Can't decide]

When it's straight out of the oven, smoked ham with vintage cheddar is the best filling for a croissant.

Savory croissant is a treat.

You’re goddamn right. Wife and I finally got around to making some at home and we surprisingly did a fantastic job. I fucking love apple fritters

Any answer other than a Lobster Tail is incorrect

Savory croissant is a treat.

There was this joint in Maryland that made a Lobster Croissant sandwich that was soooo damned tasty- deep fried lobster tail (shell split and still attached), fried egg, white cheddar cheese, avocado and some sort of tasty spread... That place was amazing. I’m sure they made it through c19, hope so anyway, everything I ate there was fantastic.

 

[Shadowplay1979]

Having grown up with italian pastries...and living in the italianless hell that is LA.... there is only one true answer

Cannoli's

 

[DavidGzz]

I had some caramel pecan pancakes yesterday....I think you're right. Also, Applebees sucks overall but their butter cream blondie dessert is orgasmic.

 

[zeorhymer]

Kouign amann is my go to.

 

[Nobody_Important]

This thread has to be a bannable offense.

 

[Relativ9]

Pistachio Cannoli is up there...but I got to give it to Pastel de Nata made fresh in Belem.

Cannoli
St. Joseph's pastry (w/cannoli cream)

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Savoury, it's the Aussie meat pie

Sweet, it's profiteroles

 

[Burning Blade]

Nothing special, but I am prone to enjoy a good scone or morning bun now and again. Baked goods are the the shit!

 

[triplestation]

almond croissants, almond danishes, almond anything

such a handsome aroma from almond pastries

but fall is pastry season

when the weather is cool this kind of food tastes nice with some kind of hot caffeinated beverage

look at all this fucking delicious shit up in this thread good lord

 

[Elektro Demon]

I don't know what a pastry is but you just can't beat a good old fashioned burek with yoghurt.

 

[GeekyDad]

I don't know what a pastry is but you just can't beat a good old fashioned burek with yoghurt.

It does look good. Is that some type of meat, or some type of dried fruit?

 

[eddie4]

Is does look good. Is that some type of meat, or some type of dried fruit?

It's minced/ground beef, usually mixed with onions and spices. There are different variations, like with cheese, spinach, gourd, etc.

Damn, now I'm gonna have the wife make some.

I see your burek and raise you a gozleme.
