The chicken salad in a croissant doesn't look like anything I've ever seen. Salad, by definition, begins with some kind of green leafy stuff (lettuce, rocket, spinach etc) and goes on from there. The exceptions are potato, rice and pasta salads. If you have a different definition we may have identified another cultural difference :-) A chicken salad sandwich over here is sliced chicken in some kind of dressing, probably mayo based, with lettuce, tomato and cucumber.
Also, croissants are sweet. The idea of something savoury on a croissant is making me feel slightly ill.
What about ham and cheese on a croissant? The best.
ETA: but agree that chicken mush does not belong on a croissant.

I've never seen or heard of anything savoury on a croissant. Ham and cheese can be a great combination, but please, not on something as sweet as a croissant.

Just try it. It's delicious. Paging madymoiselle - we need your French expertise here.
I have a major sweet tooth, too. I agree that they're not very sweet, but they're much sweeter than ordinary bread. The dough contains sugar. Most bread recipes only have a teaspoon of sugar or honey to feed the yeast.

Most American breads contain a lot of sugar too because they're processed and need to be shelf stable, so maybe that's why I don't notice much of a difference.
Maybe that's it. British bread really only has a tiny bit of sugar, and sourdough and soda bread don't contain any sugar.
I've just remembered that H, who has occasional work trips to the US, says he avoids the bread because it's so sweet.
