Udon Baguettes

Yeah, walk into a Paris bakery and ask for a "French bread", un pain Francais SVP"

baguette, la flûte, pain parisien, ficelle all are "French bread"
don't think any of you would know the difference!

I might give a baguette at the ex-Carefour near the airport a try but doubt it is edible.
Will keep ya posted

Give me a good old fashioned Bread Roll any time

What I miss (from the US, of course) are Vietnamese French sandwiches - baguettes, filled with pate, or spiced ham, or BBQ pork, crisp veggies, and a sort of spicy mayo dressing. Where I lived, there were a lot of Vietnamese, and a shop called Ba Le used to have a line out the door all day long. Buy 5 get 1 free...

Saw similar in Laos, but not so far in Udon or Nong Khai...backpacker crap only.

I'd buy one for a member who can point me to one reasonably near by...

That's ok, but thanks anyway. I also recommend the pork and rice soup with mushroom.

I had some nice Lao baguettes with pate and veg (bread crisped up on a bbq) on Wattana Nuwong Rd (Turn left after the plaza near the Thai Music place. Opposite side to the computer centre. Had a hot baguette last Saturday about 09.00 from the Big C near the airport.

Thanks, Papa. We'll hoist one in your honor. I plan to be there next week.

Wow, those sound great, too.

We buy bread at Carrefour/Big C a couple times a month, but get our baguettes locally, here in Nong Khai. Definitely have to check out the place on Wattana Nuwong...

Thanks for the great suggestions.

Offer's open any time...

Well, I must say, Coffee Pate is great. Mrs. and I went this afternoon.

I had the pork and mushroom soup, and my wife had the pho. We started with a pate sandwich (banh mi), and ended up ordering a second.

The owner was friendly, and the service was top-notch. The place has a nice feel, and was fairly full of customers at around 12:30. Just the kind of place I look for...

Thanks, Papaguido. Great recommendation.

Bagels with cream cheese and lox (cured salmon) are considered a traditional part of American Jewish cuisine (colloquially known as lox and a schmear).

A bagel (also spelled beigel)[1] is a bread product, traditionally shaped by hand into the form of a ring from yeasted wheat dough, roughly hand-sized, which is first boiled for a short time in water and then baked.[2] The result is a dense, chewy, doughy interior with a browned and sometimes crisp exterior. Bagels are often topped with seeds baked on the outer crust, with the traditional ones being poppy or sesame seeds. Some also may have salt sprinkled on their surface, and there are also a number of different dough types such as whole-grain or rye.[2]



A baguette:
A baguette (play /bæˈɡɛt/) is "a long thin loaf of French bread"[1] that is commonly made from basic lean dough (the dough, though not the shape, is defined by French law). It is distinguishable by its length and crisp crust.

A standard baguette has a diameter of about 5 or 6 centimetres (2 or 2⅓ in) and a usual length of about 65 centimetres (26 in), although a
