I bought a HUGE baguette today and decided I wanted to eat half of it tommorow. But anyone who gets them knows they go stale about 36 seconds after you leave the shop.
I've cut it into lengths and put the lengths side by side in an airtight box. Let's see if it's edible tommorow. It's an interesting experiement as I like them and it's always annoyed me.
If not .. I'll put Peanut Butter on until it is

Not a mention of cheese! A promising thread ruined.

Well I had cheese on the bits I eat earlier ;) Leerdammer. Not my normal choice but it was on offer, and goes well with baguettes.
I've a feeling. And this may just be a feeling. But I've a feeling if I can solve the "Baguette staleness problem" with the "cut into little bits and put in a box hypothesis" .... there may be a nobel in this for me. A well deserved one. It's between me and brassneck to be the first chit chat laureate, and I feel finally, after my work on Peanut Butter, I'm going to make it. |

If you had left it go stale you could have eaten from your other end

Gosh JC if you have sunk to leerdammer you are in desperate straits. Do you require a food parcel.
Or are there any food banks near you? |

I think it worked a bit. I need to try it with a really fresh one.
I'm fed up being forced to carry one when I walk the dog, after that campaign saying I had to baguette and bin it. |

When I do give in to a baguette, I only buy a small one and eat half on the day, then the next day I cut the end, that has always gone solid, off the remaining half. Then I spread loads of butter on it and it’s still ok to eat. I like roast beef in a baguette
 I can’t remember the last time I this btw. |

Well it's the air that does it I think if you put it in a container it'll help. I was buying some of these zip lock bags in a supermarket the other day (they are very useful) I should see if they've got some really big ones. They are so good for organising stuff in drawers and so on. I've drawers of crap and I can never find stuff and I'm trying to not be so freakin USELESS at that sort of thing!

I've also tried sprinkling a little water (maybe I should try a spray?) and microwaving for a few seconds, it seems to revive them a bit.
