You've never had 'croissants from a tube'? They're a well-known sight in Holland.

Basically, you open up the tube, unroll the pastry, cut the pastry into triangles, and then roll the triangles into a croissant shape. Then bake in the oven and voila!
Tova:
Nope! That is the first I've heard of them.
Whenever I've bought premade pastry, it's been the frozen sheet variety.
I have a feeling that the image in my head is inaccurate, because you said that you "unroll the pastry", whereas when I first saw "in a tube" I pictured something you squeeze out. Got a picture?
Edit: I just googled. Ohhhh. That makes more sense. Nope, never bought tubes like that, only flat sheets.

'Croissant' and 'cresent' get used interchangeably in some parts of the USA.
They're fluffy and can be served with any meal which makes premade dough pretty dang useful for all manner of things.

Okay, this one will probably get much more mixed results or a bunch of flat 'no's. I used some hummus in place of marinara on a pair of naan bread pizzas I put together the other day.
I used roasted garlic hummus, but roasted red pepper would have probably been better. I added orange bell peppers to the second one and that turned out to be what was missing It also helped tone down the garlic a bit.
I took two photos of the same one since this was the more photogenic of the two.
Morituri:
Plantains are an ingredient in a half-decent banana bread. A bit less sweet than most banana breads, but this is regarded as a feature at least as often as it's regarded as a bug.
2 bananas
2 plantains
4 eggs
1/4 cup / 60ml honey
1/4 cup / 60ml vegetable oil
1 tsp / 5ml baking soda
1 tbsp / 15ml cinnamon
2 tsp / 10ml nutmeg
1 tsp / 5ml vanilla extract
1/2 tsp / 3ml salt
1/4 cup / 60ml chopped nuts
Preheat oven to 350f / 175c
Toss all the ingredients except nuts into a blender and mix.
Rub the bottom and sides of a pan (about the same size as a sheet of typing paper) with butter and then sprinkle on as much flour as you can get to stick to it.
Pour the batter into the pan. Sprinkle the nuts on top.
Put the pan in the oven and leave it there for 30-35 minutes.
Enjoy!
