At the supermarket it's easy to stock up on the basics, like horse. Did the french never learn the song, 'I knew an old lady who swallowed a fly'? What was it that killed her again...?
There is a large problem with baguettes. They are not wrapped. Wrapping is hunger proof, you can't take wrapping off subconsciously in a moment of craving food. With baguettes there are no barriers, it's fresh bread goodness and my mouth. I live about a 15/20 min walk away from my bakery, I'm hungry, it's in my hands, the top out of the paper yelling "EAT MEEEEE". Often, I get back home and put it on the table and stare disappointedly, wondering where half my baguette has gone.

Beth has the same problem. Tesco express is only 5 mins walk but a good chunk of french stick (not really upto baguette standard) has gone by the time she gets home!
