The Croissant Contretemps

Chocolate chip croissant 
vs.
Pan au chocolat
On Sunday, a tiny contretemps, courtesy of Chloé. It went pretty much like this:
"Guess what?"
"What?"
"I was so impressed that you brought fresh croissants to work that I copied you and brought fresh croissants to rehearsal."
"From Viktor Benes?"
"Mais oui."
"My team was so happy."
"Mine, too. They went crazy over the chocolate chip croissants."
"Chocolate chip croissants!?"
"They're a slice of heaven."
"Chocolate chip croissants!?"
"Is there a problem?"
"This is heresy."
"That seems a little harsh, honey."
Chloé takes a stance on croissants

"If someone had done that in France they would've been burned alive like Joan of Arc."
"I didn't mean to insult your people."
"A croissant is not a muffin."
"Okay."
"A croissant is not a cookie."
"Got it. "
"You want chocolate, you have pan au chocolat."
"So what you're saying is -- "
"This is sacrilege. It pisses me off."
"I'm picking up on that."
"The worst thing is a croissant with ham and cheese."
"Really?"
"A croissant should never be in contact with ham. There should be punishment."
"Punishment?"
"There should be a committee that prevents this from happening. There should be a bakery investigation and their license should be revoked."
"I have half a chocolate chip croissant leftover. You want it?"
"Maybe just a bite."
