    Chocolatine is a way to say pain au chocolat in southwestern France. Not croissant.

    It’s kind of a French private joke, and an eternal war in the country.

      If there’s one thing that unites all European cultures it’s poking fun at one another within a country for local language variations.

      That said, chocolatine sounds like a biscuit. But then pain au chocolat is also what they’re called outside France.

        But pain au chocolat could describe any type of chocolate bread, like a babka, but chocolatine is a name specific to one type of pastry.
