Say ‘pain au chocolat’ in Bordeaux…if you dare

Yes, it looks like a pain au chocolat, but don’t call it that in Bordeaux or you may find yourself in a shouting match. Most of France calls it pain au chocolat, but in the Bordeaux region they call it chocolatine and there are even more lesser-used terms such as: ‘couque au chocolat’ (Ardennes), ‘petit pain au chocolat’ (Hauts-de-France and Grand Est), and - possible sacrilege? - a ‘croissant au chocolat’ (Grand Est). CNN's Richard Quest gets to the bottom of this ongoing linguistic debate.
