HLT. That's not a baguette. It's just a ham sandwich on some sort of a cheap roll. -- Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them. |

When I'm eating a sandwich, I'm usually not doing anything else (maybe reading an e-book). That said, the sandwiches that I make are usually smaller than a restaurant sandwich. I don't have to make myself feel like I'm getting good value for the money. Cindy Hamilton |

You need to visit better restaurants. There are plenty that serve a reasonable portion. But they don't sell sandwiches. Cindy Hamilton |

One of my friends birthday is a day before my wife so she was invited for dinner. It was a pleasant day and I enjoyed making veal chops and risotto for them. Congrats on the anniversary. |

I think this type of food is poorly represented in and around where I frequent. I often struggle to find anything I *really* like for lunch or breakfast when in Launceston. There are a few good places but not many. >Had lunch with friends a few days ago at a restaurant that has BLT on >the menu.

I know bacon is on the Avoid list but I had a bacon sandwich for lunch today. I often skip lunch but we had a pickleball this afternoon and I tend to play better and longer if I have had lunch. |

You're clueless about food. http://www.peelham.co.uk/organic-mea...l-mutton-free- range-pork/organic-veal "Our organic grass reared veal is now fully back in season. As a natural product based on an extensive livestock pasture system our veal is seasonal. So for a short period in the late spring and early summer we dont have any available. Peelham organic veal is from 8 - 10 month calves from our herd of organic pasture-grazed Aberdeen Angus and Luing cross suckler cows. They are free-grazing naturally with their mothers as part of our extensive free-ranging herd of cattle. Our cattle are housed during adverse winter conditions in open staw-bedded sheds and fed on naturally fermented forage. Reared only off grass and on mothers which are also only grass-reared produces our exquisite tasting ruby veal with its delicious flavour, fine texture and tracing of intra-muscular fat. Our organic veal is given added depth of flavour from dry-ageing the carcasse for two weeks in our butchery chill." Janet. |

I wonder how the quality compares. There are lots of long skinny loaves here called baguettes, but that is where the resemblance ends. There are some better quality "baguettes" available, but really good baguettes like those commonly available in France are hard to find. |

Things are getting better, but for a long time the only thing that resembled a baguette in any way was what they called French Stick, a long skinny loaf with a hard crust and a bland center. I am surprised to see that they still sell those things because there is much better available. |

At my supermarket I can buy ready to cook banquettes and they are excellent but you need to take it home and bake pronto for best results. |

Today, people go to the supermarket for everything and think they are getting good food. Even with an in-house bakery, it is not as good as a real bakery with a top notch baker. They are hard to find. We have pretty good bread at a place 3 miles from us, but limited selection. Good rye bread no longer exists since the Polish bakery close about 30 miles from us Same is true with cakes and pastry. Hard to find the good stuff. |

A baguette here in the US is probably often some cheap roll labeled that way just to charge twice as much as it's worth. I do believe that the French corner the market on fresh baked bread. |

I've had one sitting on my kitchen counter forever. I rarely use it but it's there. Lately just a decoration based on how often I use it. :-D |

Q: do we kill and eat any young pork? I can't think of any. Everyone loves the idea when they are raised with love...free range, organic only food, gets to live with mom in the pasture, grows up all happy and stuff. But then, they are slaughtered for our food when they are still young kids. Imagine your own young children raised in the same loving way but then killed young. So organic meat, free-range is still evil. Then we have the young ones raised in crates with a life of hell. These are the babies that would probably wish to die soon. "oh man, please kill me now." These are mercy killing like we do for our beloved pets. |
