Which of these is a traditional French pastry?

Once, they were a delicacy. Now, you can get a dozen at Sam’s or a breakfast sandwich at Burger King. Same with ramen instant noodles. They weren’t around n 1974 when I ate them for the first time at the Spokane World’s Fair. Now, it’s the main staple of college kids on a budget.

Tasty but overrated.
