Best Answer

A "pastry" is a tart or flan with a pastry base with either a sweet or savory topping. Alternatively, a "pastry" can also refer to a yeasted and laminated dough (i.e puff pastry with yeast added) used for making danish pastrys and the like. Hence a croissant is a pastry. And a pastry is a type of food, food is not a completely separate thing.
