see above. nice croissants are available worldwide (3 cheers for the 
french!). of course it is laughable that americans call them crescents,
but 
then, it doesn't keep me (or the french) up at night.

c'est ça, exactement. i don't have a greenhouse problem with little
im****ted 
treats from time to time if it's something really GOOD. new zealand does 
dairy very, very well & it's hard to know what to do sometimes which would

be the "right" thing. sigh! it is a curse to be informed, sometimes.

yes, that is the standard practice. on a take-away product, though, that 
doesn't apply for some reason (for one thing, it's hardly practical).

for an equivalent here, that would be water & cane sugar. but at the end
of 
the day, if you're eating loads of sugar or loads of corn syrup, it's 
probably an equally bad idea, really. however, i choose lovely sugar over 
creepy aspartame every time :-)
