Good going, sharia committee! Thanks to you, I’m now going to enjoy croissants eleven times more than I already do!

How long before ‘they’ are not sitting around and breathing, anymore?

Who knew?
There’s actually no historical evidence to suggest that the story of it being created to celebrate the battle of Tours is true. The offensive bread doesn’t show up in a single recipe book from before 1600.
U.S. Marines did however, document “Kicked your butts in Tripoli Burgers” very precisely.
