croissant 40
It is the French and popularly international name for what in Spanish we call medialuna, horn, or its Cruasan Castilianization. Legend has it that it was created by Viennese pastry chefs, as a commemoration of the Battle of Kahlenberg (1683) that ended the Ottoman siege; and its characteristic shape mimics the crescent on the invaders' flags. The name croissant ("growing croissant") appeared in France long after the Austrian Marie Antoinette brought them that bite, and is said to come from the "growing room of the moon", although there is an unbelievable story that attributes it to a rejection for nomb rarla with its origin of Islamic symbol, so it was renamed As Croix Sante (cruá sant "Cruz Santa" or "Santa Cruz" ), which sounded a little more Catholic.
