I agree a baguette sandwich is lovely, but only if made immediately. Baguettes have to be consumed so quickly or they're rubbish. This is why bakeries bake them multiple times a day. Do you buy one and IMMEDIATELY go make sandwiches with it? If you're making sandwiches with it hours later or the next day, it's gross. There are much better bakery breads to make sandwiches with if not using IMMEDIATELY.


We get it. Immediately. I buy them on my way home and we eat them with dinner.

This thread is lol. As if people are do dumb and uncultured they have never seen a baguette and have no idea how to eat one. Please stop all of you. But wait don't, it's hilarious.

Your vehicle must be really gross from the crumbs. If you're in a vehicle, why not find a park to walk in or an outdoor bench or picnic table.

I just ride away with it in my bike basket or clutched under my arm and then throw it away when I get home.

My EU DH eats bread with every meal (yes, even with tacos, Chinese food, etc.) Our kids eat bread and chocolate, or bread and nutella, as a snack after school while watching cartoons in their native language. Whatever they don't use up becomes toast the next morning.

Yes, it's tricky buying fresh bread every day in the US but we have a standing order at the local bakery and we've got a system down for buying bread every day. And, in a pinch, Whole Foods has good enough bakery bread.

Sometimes I’ll put chicken salad on it.

I love that you included a picture. For the stupid Americans who don’t know what a baguette is, much less what to do with it?

I buy them all the time. Slice them up and serve with whatever is for dinner. I have teens and it all gets eaten. I also put them out with a charcuterie when we have friends over.

What an odd question. Do you need a hobby?

How do you think Americans eat baguettes? Like they are supposed to be eaten!

My kid loves them plain. Husband will eat with butter. Occasionally with brie or similar.

In Europe people just eat them immediately with butter for lunch or breakfast. I doubt many Americans are doing that. The two local bakeries I frequent always have dozens of fresh baguettes for sale in the display, so I guess a lot of Americans buy them. To do what, typically? I'm just curious is all. I assume very few Americans are making crostini appetizers every night, you know what I mean?
