So on a baguette, butter yes or no? For whatever impulse reasons I purchased one today which might be the first time I've purchased bread in years -- (edited)

Posted by JD (aka Jason Dean) Jun 24 '20, 16:33

I made the mistake of looking up how one eats it. Uh, primarily to reassure myself that I wasn't just being lazy when I get around to just tearing pieces off it. Hey, at sometimes I really am Asian and I generally don't do bread on my own. I'll eat it and enjoy it as I'm not that gluten free guy but I'm typically not going to go out of my way to have bread

But looking that up led me to entire discussions about butter or not with regards to baguettes.

Responses:

I disagree that butter isn’t eaten with baguette in France. It’s very common to have a baguette for breakfast with butter and jam. - Roger More Jun 24, 18:34
Nah, that is a bahn mi or choripan -- nm - con_carne Jun 24, 18:23
I'm weird. I never butter my bread. -- nm - Bjarön Jun 24, 16:43
of course -- nm - Beaker Jun 24, 16:40
in France, no. -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 16:40
Not unless you’re eating oysters. - znufrii Jun 24, 16:38 11
- So no butter then? Best as I could figure from what I read, no butter was a French thing -- nm - JD Jun 24, 16:40 10
  - They probably also have fresher, higher quality baguettes. -- nm - Ender Jun 24, 16:58 2
    - Baguettes are eaten the same day. No exceptions. -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 16:59 1
      - This one I kind of knew when I was buying it so the consuming challenge is now front of me -- nm - JD Jun 24, 17:00
  - The only time we were offered butter in Paris was when we were eating oysters, because oysters are from Brittany, which is also known for its butter -- nm - znufrii Jun 24, 16:50 2
    - Ohhhh... Well no butter is definitely easier 8-) But now I kind of want clams (note: NOT oysters) - JD Jun 24, 16:59 1
      - oysters are mostly gag to me. -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 17:00
  - Abomination. -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 16:40 3
    - I kind of feel like I'm talking to me 8-) uh, what exactly is the abomination? -- nm - JD Jun 24, 16:43 2
      - You don't put butter on a baguette. -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 16:55 1
        
        Got it 8-) -- nm - JD Jun 24, 16:59
I think the only time I've bought them is to use with a dip:/ -- nm - Meg Jun 24, 16:36 3
- Ohhhhh....now there's a thought - JD Jun 24, 16:39 2
  - baguettes are three ingredient. Flour, water, yeast. -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 16:56 1
    - sorry , four! salt. -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 16:57
I only put butter on untoasted bread in restaurants. At home I'll put french/italian bread in the oven before putting on butter. -- nm - Max Jun 24, 16:36
Is it bread? Then the answer is yes. -- nm - spamlet Jun 24, 16:35 1
- Yup. -- nm - kelly Jun 24, 16:39
Butter yes...there's an famous French caper movie called Diva, one of the characters cuts a baguette and smears a whole stick down -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 24, 16:35 1
- That's why he is a criminal. -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 17:28
Sure. -- nm - Andie Jun 24, 16:33
