Look, I’m not here to put down crescent rolls. I have a box of them in my freezer right now. But I am here to say: they are not the same thing. It’s like saying a filet mignon and a hamburger are basically the same—because they’re both beef. One is delicate and layered; the other is comforting and reliable.
So next time you’re at a party and someone proudly brings out a tray of “homemade puff pastry” that looks suspiciously like Pillsbury crescents… just smile, take one, and enjoy it. And maybe, just maybe, whisper a little thank you that you now know the difference. (And that you can avoid a very awkward kitchen confession at your next potluck.)
