  • The stereotypical French person has a striped shirt, a beret and a baguette under an arm. That may be a cliché, but what's certain is that bread is an integral part of the French diet and people take their bread very seriously. So just what makes French bread so good? And what are the rules of "baguetiquette"? In this edition of French Connections Plus, Florence Villeminot and Genie Godula bite into the crunchy heaven of the baguette.

    The "regular" baguette is a work of art! Yummy...

    little trick, when you sit down at a table in a restaurant in France, we will generally bring you a basket of bread, depending on the quality of it you know if you have to stay to eat or change address.

    Not to be picky, but the end of the baguette is the "quignon", not the "croûton". Croûtons are square bits of stale bread you pan fry and add to a salad, for example.

    I use half a baguette for whatever I'm making for a meal then store the rest in a bag. Anything after 2 days gets turned into croutons in a pan with a little butter and oil. Great snack.

    I' am from Morocco. I love the baguette (Darija: bagita) and petite pain (ptipane), as well as I love France and French language and culture. Vive la France.

    Hello, another fantastic show! One observation. . . When giving a French term for something (in this case, the word for the inside of the bread and the name for French toast) can the French word be displayed on the screen so the viewer can possibly learn the word for future use? Thank you for such educational shows. I never miss an episode and watch them over and over

    baguette bread is a guilty pleasure, I cant eat too much bread w/o I get congested but I can't resist a good bag!

  • @jejewa2763

    One of the major problem is that I think because of health reasons, the Baguette is put into a bag before it is sold and that makes the baguette sweat and become soft.
    In any boulangerie in France the baguette is kept in open area.

    Love the baguette baked by 10 arr. Boulangerie near Opera in Paris! Crunchy on the outside, and soft, airy and tasty inside! Never forget the taste, super delicious!🥰 Eat it plain is a treat of the day! Yummy! 😋

    One goes a long way for a good baguette. My son was moving around Paris airport on way to India to buy baguette for me and was caught by the security people. When he told them about non availability, the security guided him to a shop long away for fresh baguette. They were so happy to see a foreigner looking for baguette. French should preserve their tradition at all costs.

    I read that the proper baguette is becoming a rare thing with chain pre-frozen dough baguettes becoming the cheaper and putting the freshly handmade places out of business - Je Regrette - as I still remember the perfection of my favourite rustique baguettes in Paris (last century) - I've also checked out every aspiring copy in Tokyo - and while good attempts, none quite matched the taste I remember - tristesse ...

    Would Austrians and Germans agree that French bread is better than theirs?

    • @Omegamizu
      @Omegamizu 2 года назад

      Well I don't know about their agreement but the baguette is an institution here. It's a national treasure amongst all layers of the population, from poor to rich. So I guess they'd be wrong

    The main ingredient is snobbery. There are many other kinds of bread that are actually much better, but without the attitude problem.

    The Chileans perfected a version of the baguette, which is far superior to any french baguette ever made. You should travel a bit, you'll be surprised at what you will find.

    The struggle is real:
    I’ve moved from a posh suburb (Boulogne-Bt), where everything was perfect, albeit expensive, to a popular one (Aulnay) and I’ve tried every bakery around my new place to find that one baker who knows his job.
    A bad baguette will get on my nerves, for real…
