Medialunas In The Usa?

[Dublin2BuenosAires]

French patisserie is a rip off of the real mcoy in Austria. French PR won the day here. A good medialuna is no one's poor relation. A fresh batch from La Argentina which haven't been soaked in sugary syrup is a treat not to be sniffed at.

If they're good enough for Sean Connery, they are good enough for you.

If you're ever near NYC, Argentina Bakery in Union City, NJ makes sandwiches de miga, empanadas, medialunas, alfajores de maicena and a lot of other Argentine baked goods. Just take the number 51 jitney bus from port authority (about a 10 minute bus ride) to intersection of JFK boulevard and 16th street and walk a few blocks over to Bergenline Avenue.

Are you serious? You want those horrible, flavorless rock like things made in bakeries where the owners have never heard the word "butter"? Where every ingredient is the cheapest and lowest quality possible? Give me a break.

Try a hot Krispy Kreme donut. You'll never want a medialuna again.

Even worse than Starbucks.

Even worse than Starbucks.

Starbucks produce some of the finest sweet hot and cold UHT milk beverages in the world. They do a hot milk which has a mild aroma of coffee and a hot black water drink with hints of cheap coffee.

That pig looks great in lipstick.

Why would anybody even think of Starbucks when there's http://www.peets.com

No peets here, but there is a small but growing band of decent cofffee places.

Anyone in microcentro should pass by Cafetero de Barrio on the ground floor of the Galeria Thompson. Best coffee in the microcentro by a stretch. Small place, but worth it.

He is selling (or was) aeropresses which I recently tried, great little device. Ridiculously over priced unfortunately.

Butter's touch comes to mean so much
Medialuna n'est pas Francais
Medialuna n'est pas Francais
Argie's way, s'abandonner
Medialuna n'est pas Francais
Medialuna n'est pas Francais

Slip the half moon in your mouth
Don't call it the croissant of the South
Medialuna n'est pas Francais
Medialuna n'est pas Francais

Lips upon buttery places
Lingering in long embraces

Medialuna n'est pas Francais

Medialunas in the USA
Medialunas in the USA
Ay, medialunas
Medialunas in the USA
Medialunas in the USA

Lips are in motion
Ocean to ocean to ocean, ocean to ocean to ocean
Paris is fuming
Booming, we're booming, we're booming, booming, we're booming, we're booming

Lips close, then blossom like a rose
Medialuna n'est pas Francais
Medialuna n'est pas Francais

Lips wide holding you inside
Medialuna n'est pas Francais
Medialuna n'est pas Francais

ajoknob found the place
where our pastry is not a disgrace
Medialuna n'est pas Francais
Medialuna n'est pas Francais

Take this pastry by the hand
Speak in tongues and understand
Medialuna n'est pas Francais
Medialuna n'est pas Francais

Medialunas in the USA
Medialunas in the USA
Ay, medialunas
Medialunas in the USA
Medialunas in the USA

Eating a medialuna I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Buttery in your arms
Too late to beg you or cancel it
Though I know it must be panaderia time
Unwillingly mine


Fake (croissants)
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give your facturas to him

I haven't the patience to re-bake the whole thing !

I imagine that there are even bad croissants in cheap cafes in France as well as good ones.
And crappy confiterías that that make awful media lunas as well as others that specialize in them. Personally I prefer croissants, but I wouldn't
compare them to media lunas since they're not the same thing. Let's agree that people from different regions of the world have different tastes, and that you can always find a good and bad version of any specialized food in every country.
