Dear readers,
In France bread is an essential part of our routine meals.
If you have the chance to go there don't be surprise if you see French bread laid on tables for breakfast, lunch or dinner in restaurants!
Why is it so famous in France? Because a "baguette" combines two things : it is simple and it tastes good. More importantly the baguette is affordable for everyone (0.90 euros about 1 dollar). Besides it has many uses. You can slice it in half lengthwise and make sandwiches for instance.
What you want to put inside depends on your taste. The most common one is the "jambon beurre" (ham and butter sandwich). Good and easy to do. You cut a slice of baguette, cut it length-wise and coated both halves with a layer of creamy butter. Than take a slice of ham, fold it in two and put it between the two pieces of bread. During the summer, you will probably see people in groups sitting on the grass in parks doing a "pique nique" which is a type of meals you have outdoors with friends or family. The foods you bring can be either something you've prepared yourself or bought outside in stores. Usually this is when you will see the famous French sandwich I've describes above. Here is a picture of the "Jambon Beurre". If you want to order one at the baker's shop all you need to say is : "Bonjour, je vais prendre un jambon beurre s'il vous plait." (= Hello, I'll have a jambon beurre please."
Or even faster : "Bonjour, un jambon beurre s'il vous plait". (=Hello, a jambon beurre please).
You can also eat a baguette with French cheese, (some are really good!). I will post something about it later. For lunch you can dunk a piece of bread into your bowl of soup. For breakfast you can dunk it into your bowl of hot chocolate.

The most common one is the "French baguette". If you go to France you will probably see some baguettes tops peeping from underneath peoples' arms.
I give you a tip to recognize good ones. It has to be all crunchy golden shell with soft white clouds for insides. And if you are lucky, the baker would have just taken it out from the oven, it will be all warm in your hand. Why is it so famous in France?
