[quote]Bakers say the UNESCO listing would protect a know-how that has passed through generations and shield the baguette from imposters around the world.
[quote]The UNESCO "intangible heritage" marker - meant to recognize oral traditions, performing arts, social practices, rituals and methods of traditional craftsmanship - already covers ancient methods of making flat breads in Iran and Kazakhstan.
But what does DL think?

I mean it's not like cheeses or wines or olive oils or hams that come from certain regions. Or am I wrong, do the French use a particular French wheat flour and French yeast to make their bread? C'mon now with all this pretentiousness!

^. It has to be made with cigarette stained fingers and a jaunty beret.

I'd take a freshly baked Kaisersemmel over this French mediocrity anytime! And ever since the bread box was invented baguettes also became very impractical for storing - you can't even put the damn things in without breaking them in half first.

I'm down. A freshly baked baguette is the merde.

Yes indeed, we too use "cookies." Don't you just LOVE clicking on these things on every single site you visit? I know we do! You can thank the EU parliament for making everyone in the world click on these pointless things while changing absolutely nothing. If you are interested you can take a look at our privacy/terms or if you just want to see the damn site without all this bureaucratic nonsense, click ACCEPT and we'll set a dreaded cookie to make it go away. Otherwise, you'll just have to find some other site for your pointless bitchery needs.
