French Baguette
Stand:
Even after 1972, somewhat by fits and starts, prosperity grew: people
broadened their horizon. During their holidays abroad more and more people got
used to foreign eating habits.
On the table in Dutch families we saw bread which was not very Dutch….French
baguettes.
Besides Chinese, Spanish, Italian, Yugoslavian and Greek restaurants there were
Turkish, Indian and Vietnamese establishments.
In supermarkets this globalisation was stimulated; they enlarged their
assortment - that counted for the bread department too.
As well as regional specialities one could come across German, Italian and
Turkish bread in many varieties.

At a festive fair in 2002 the French baguette had to share its place with
other varieties of bread and many more dishes. |
