Mandy68 Â Â 10 #1 Posted January 23, 2012 Having tried all the supermarket stuff and a few local bakers, has anyone got any reccomendations where to get French bread locally? Been to France recently and missing yummy bread Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
shanes teeth   10 #2 Posted January 23, 2012 Depends what sort of French bread you like,but my favourite at the moment is from Lidl.It's quite crusty and the middle is a bit ciabatta-ish but it is great with pate or beurre d'isigny and jam!

lh123 Â Â 10 #3 Posted January 23, 2012 Being French myself, unfortunately I have yet to find real baguettes and real patisseries. La Perle disappointed me as all their cakes are filled with whipped cream and not the original creme patissiere. As for breads, the baguettes are never soft inside, crust is too big. These 2 are about the on;y stuff I miss from back home ... Along with the weather ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

carmencarter   10 #7 Posted January 24, 2012 I'm French too- was quite pleasantly surprised with the Marks and Spencer baguette. But don't tend to go there often so have to settle for part-baked most of the time. Not as good as the real thing, but will do for me.
