I'll confess to experiencing a certain feeling of hilarity the first time I heard of a baguette referred to as a "French Stick". Hey, even now, writing this I'm smirking slightly.
I'd not heard it said before and I didn't realise it was in such common usage, even when I started this post, and really thought a "French stick" would be of more interest to these guys than I.
Anyway, I present to you, Ladies and Gentlemen, Le French Stick.
I'm pictured in the region of Montmartre, in Paris. It's a very lovely area and many crowds of tourists come to have a look at Sacré-Coeur.
Ooh la la, but them French Sticks were tasty though. I'm pictured biting into one at lunchtime filled with sandwich style filing, but really, they were nice and freshly baked enough to tuck into plain, by themselves. Or with jam, which is what we did on the following day, sitting on the lawn under the Eiffel Tower.
