Food purists would have you believe there's specific ways you have to make foods so they are correct. Like croissants are only supposed to have butter, puff pastry and water. Pizza is only supposed to be fresh soft mozzarella, crushed tomatoes, and basil. Steak should only have buttery, thymey pan sauce on it. Deviations are an affront to their culture and an insult to their ancestors.

The correct way is however you like, whatever tastes good to you, whatever you're willing to pay for, and if you run a business, whatever sells.

I like my fried eggs on toast with cream cheese, honey and paprika. I like my pizza made ultra thin on tortilla wraps with salami, sweet potato and anchovies. I like my banana bread with choc chips AND dried cranberries. Other people are gonna like their food in different ways or even hate it my way, and that's okay.

I thought classic steak was salt and pepper?

But is it mango specifically or any fruit croissants? Strawberry croissants are pretty common around here but I've never been to France to know if it's common there too

I don't think fruit croissants would go over well with The French. It has to be butter or nothing.

If you're very lucky they will put chocolate in it but then insist it's now somehow a different product.

French guy here. Multiple bakery already make strawberry croissant around here and none of them being burn to the ground. Be aware that most of French are troll when talking about food, the other part are mostly alt right who’s seeing cultural invasion in EVERY FUCKING THING. Enjoy your croissant as it is (except if it’s not buttery and hot wtf is wrong with you)
