Anthony Coulson from McVitie’s is missing a trick (Taking the biscuit: for 100 years we’ve been eating chocolate digestives wrong, 24 April). My wife’s family introduced me to the proper way to eat chocolate digestives – in pairs, chocolate to the middle. I have enjoyed them this way for more than 50 years.Henry ClayPetersfield, Hampshire

Despite the advice about eating chocolate digestives chocolate side down, I shall continue to eat them with the chocolate side up. It’s easier to keep chocolate from sticking to the fingers.Ken VinesHorrabridge, Devon

How far would you go for a croissant (The extraordinary rise of bakery tourism: ‘People travel from all over the world. It’s mind-blowing!’, 22 April)? Just follow Julian Clary. In the Observer in January, he said he liked to get to his Co-op early to pick up the delicious £1 ones before the local cafes bought them to sell later for a fiver. That lad knows a good croissant when he eats one.David DuellDurham

I too journey about 80 miles for the best ever baked goods. Bus from Brighton to Newhaven. Ferry to Dieppe. Two-and-a-half-mile walk to Au Fournil d’Elena. The best croissants that I have ever eaten, and I have tried many.Ron GouldBrighton, East Sussex

Please give a shout out for the quest of pilgrims who are gluten intolerant. To find even acceptable pastries, there is a journey worth making. My daughter went to Bologna, having researched gluten-free destinations. She was not disappointed.Susan SayersMarket Drayton, Shropshire
