How are baguettes "picnicking essentials" in the US? I have literally never seen one at a picnic.

Edit: I will die on this hill...a bread knife isn't even a part of standard picnic basket kit sold in the US.

Just going to the wrong picnics I guess! Nice baguette with cheese and salami.

what kind of freak doesn't bring a bagwette to a picnic

[-] guyrocket@kbin.social 6 points 5 months ago

Yeah, wtf. How can ANYONE EVER picnic without a bagwette? Like, duh.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 16 points 5 months ago

Everyone knows that the only way to eat a baguette is while wearing a striped shirt and a black beret after taking it home from the boulangerie on your bicycle.

why eat outside when inside is right there /s

You obviously do not have a Leatherman Flair. Knife with serrated tip for crusty bread, pâté spreader, cocktail fork, corkscrew, etc.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

I had no idea there was such a thing as a Leatherman for high-class occasions.

[-] Cheradenine@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

The gold part even has a cluster of grapes embossed on it. Ooh la la

[-] Classy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

Upvoted for Leatherman. My Wave+ is amazing

You don't use a knife on a baguette, you freak. You tear a piece of. Ever hear of breaking bread?

Fuck's sake, heathens.

[-] ThisIsNotHim@sopuli.xyz 2 points 5 months ago

Slice it before you go. Are items with bread not found in picnics?

Sandwiches are perfect for a picnic, and it's an occasion you'd want to gussy them up a bit for. Fancier bread might be the cheapest and most obvious way to do that.

Lol what is a "picnic basket kit"? I feel like Amazon is trying to sell you something.

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

It's something that has existed for decades, possibly close to a century now? It typically includes two small plates, two white mouth wine glasses, two spoons, forks and knives, space for a wine bottle with a way to keep it chilled, food and usually some space for napkins and such.

Just checked and Amazon does indeed sell them, some are pretty fancy haha.
