Being a French territory way out in the other side of the world, it is sooooo French. Anyway, Scottish/Aussie hubby & I enjoyed the breads, especially the baguettes (from the boulangerie to the "cheap" (no such thing as cheap here...) epicerie. None of the sweet breads! Flavorful! The baguettes were light & crusty! It's a current frustration here in Melbourne at the moment: the "French sticks" (as no one calls them baguettes) are floppy, thick and sweet (as most of their breads are)....

Apicio and sister, your comments made my day! There’s a place in Shenzen where I get my dinnerware, it’s 2 huge buildings with more than 3 floors each so they probably have that baguette basket.

Same morning I went to E.Dehillerin and G. Detoufor the first time. ( So this entry and comments are really making me remember!). I went to a nearby store, Simon, and bought what at the time was " the pan had to have". Someone had convinced me that Kristel Pan for steaks was a necessity! Its not that its not a good pan but after using it once I realized what I already had in my kitchen at a quarter of the price was just as good! I believe I have never used it again! If it makes you feel better MM, those baguette banettons look fabulous! I wish I had a baguette basket that looked like that! I only was able to find the round bread baskets with the linen liners there and I wanted one for a baguettes. You would think that with all the baskets we export or import from China, we would be able to find them readily but I haven't. So if anyone knows where we can get some, please let me know!
