"Though the baguette today is often considered one of the symbols of French culture viewed from abroad, the association of France with long loaves predates any mention of it. Long, if wide, loaves had been made since the time of Louis XIV, long thin ones since the mid-eighteenth century and in fact by the nineteenth century some were far longer than the baguette: "loaves of bread six feet long that look like crowbars!" (1862);^[3] "

WOW....!!! Francais tradition.. rasa dia kalo panas baru masak..memang crispy sangat kat luar n lembut kat dalam. Sedap dimakan begitu sahaja or cicah dengan mushroom soup or kuah masak lomak cili api..mueheheh...serius..sedap..! Baguette juga selalu digunakan untuk buat sandwich..bestnyer.. terasa lapar pulak yer.. Tapi..kalau lama-lama dibiarkan tidak disimpan dalam bekas tertutup boleh digunakan untuk mengetuk paku di dinding.. keras macam batu.. patah gigi den.. !

Habis cerita baguette.., pasal tart pulak.. peerrgghh sedapnya tak terkata.. memang french specialty la kalau bab pastries ni...cer tengok gambar ni..

Tartelette fraise (tart straberry) beli kat boulangerie yang terdekat. Sekarang ni dah ramai yang buat bisnes kuih tart kecik-kecik tu kan...? lebih kurang gitu lah rasa dia kot...kat strawberry tu letak macam syrup laah..Best! Banyak lagi jenis roti dan pastri yang terdapat kat dalam satu bakery tu..masuk kedai tu terus je lapar..tapi dalam banyak-banyak pastri dan roti kat situ..tetap tak leh challenge the best Malaysian pastry n roti - KARIPAP and opkos la ROTI CANAI !! betul tak???
