Side question: Why do people buy baguettes? Do they make sandwiches with them? How do you even make a sandwich from them? How are you meant to beat a baguette???

      Hello my name is Doug, I’m 40+ years old and I’m a fucking idiot.

      I mean I guess part of me knew, I have been to Subway and watched them slice the fucking bread. But when I see baguettes at the store I think “hm, just like Olive Garden, I can make tiny baguette slices!” I don’t think “yeah time to make some killer sandwiches.”

      …I’m going to blame my autism for this one. It probably isn’t true, but I’m gonna blame it anyway.

          Well, theres 2 ways to parse ‘no stupid questions’.

          No question is stupid, implying all questions are valid here.

          No (asking) stupid questions- this is a place for questions with either merit from the level of discourse they spark, or the value of the answer.

          Or you could do the arrested development no money down thing with it.

          No, stupid questions! (only)

          I think OP should at least explain why they had this question. Such as being an alien from another planet, being visually impaired, grew up in a remote amazon tribe, or whatever.

      Pro tip: Cut the baguette in a 45° angle.

      It makes the first bite easier, and it looks better.

          Instead of cutting it off at a right angle you cut it at an angle. Personally I’m French and yeah I know of the technique but I’m not the biggest fan necessarily. Works best if you’re making 2 sandwiches out of 1 baguette and fill it up first before doing the middle cut.

            Yeah I get it because the other person posted an image. I was confusing the slice you make to partition the baguette with the one you use to open it up to put fillings in.
