    When you think of your stereotypical French person, you may well picture them in a striped shirt and holding a baguette. For bread is an integral part of the country's diet and the French take it very seriously. In the show this week, bakers tell us the secret to making good bread as we explore the rules of "baguetiquette".

    I spent a month in Paris and the thing I loved was living right next door to the bakery. Every morning, I ran down and got a fresh baguette. It was cheap compared to what bakeries charge in my city.

    • @temperateortropical161
      @temperateortropical161 6 років тому +5

      There had been year on year grain crop losses due to extended cold. Elsewhere in Europe people survived by eating root vegetables, but the French believed potatoes, etc. were poisonous, an idea encouraged by the Church at that time.

      Far more than that, the king and queen were wasting huge amounts of money and increasing france’s national debt.

    • @temperateortropical161
      @temperateortropical161 6 років тому +3

      No more than normal for the times. Monarchy is attacked to justify revolution. The Tsars killed fewer people in 50 years than the Soviets did in mere months. Read Solzhenitsyn & listen to JBP on this.
      As the OP said, the French Revolution was about starving peasants. I recently found out that they wouldn't adapt to eating anything other than bread when the climate turned colder for years & wheat (probably all grain) crops failed year after year after year.

    Growing up in New York city, I was exposed to traditional French, Italian, German, and Austrian bakeries and came to love the pastries and breads from each nation. I moved to northern New England from age 17 to 21, then southern New Jersey from 21 to 24, and finally to California. Most of the major cities like Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, And San Francisco have neighborhood bakeries but suburbs and rural areas just don't. I found and still find this very frustrating!

    2 important points.
    Don't put the bread on the table upside down. A big faux pas. That is, place the bread on the table in the position it came out of the oven (it's flat underneath).
    Also, heed the saying "Pain sur table n'a pas de maître" = literally: bread on the table has no master, which means just because your bit of bread is next to your plate doesn"t mean you can hog it. Well... it's just a saying, in any case, but somebody can snatch it!

    I visited Paris for the first time in 1990, I stayed with an American friend who was living in nice part of south Paris. I went to the boulanger for a baguette, the baker hand me a baguette with only a napkin in the middle to walk home, I asked for a brown bag to cover it because it was a block walk and I thought the baguette "polluted" on the street by the time I reach her apartment! I'm sure they were laughing at me after I left the boulanger. Whenever i go back to Paris, i tend to buy my baguette in the local supermarket, it come with a paper "sleeves" In Napoli, someone actually pan fry the baguette in olive oil! :o

    It's not the increased prices that lowered people's bread consumption.
    It's the diet we develop as we had more choice over time with the help of Industrialization and automation.
    I just came from the supermarket, spend an hour deciding what type or brand of yogurt should I buy.
    Oh man, don't even start with bread aisle... Every time I had to buy bread I buy a different kind and still I couldn't taste them all because the kind of breads are going up faster than I consume.

    Breads are simple carbohydrates that are turned quickly into blood sugar by the body. So it's kind of like eating sugar. Which would be one reason why the French people are eating less bread.

    My God. What tripe about the origin of the baguette - which was only referred to by that name decades after Napoleon (the Napoleon tale has long been ridiculed as a myth). And the law cited says NOTHING about the baguette. It defines pain de tradition, whatever shape it might be made in.
