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.

Nah, pain au chocolat is specific. Others are called Schokobrot. Hope that helps.

You heard that @inlandempire@jlai.lu? Pain au chocolat is the normal way, the only good way.

I think it is called décroissant.
