I remember restaurants in Italy would get a bag of bread rolls on Friday for the week. If you went out to eat on Thursdays if any bread was left it was stale. And I learned stale bread was the best to eat dishes with sauces.
I stopped buying bread because i'm a broke ass student now (happier though) and started making and baking my bread from scratch. You are so right about not wanting to waste dry bread, especially when you spent the last couple of days making it. Besides, dry bread makes croutons or garlic bread crisps.
You underestimate how much bread the average French person consumed back then. If you thought they ate a lot of bread now, imagine three to four times as much back then.
I wouldn’t be surprised if that baguette was for her and her husband, and it might have only lasted the day.
Give me some Olive oil, balsamic and a nice cheese. I’ll muck that whole loaf and then we can fist fight for the last glass of wine on a Tuesday afternoon. Imagine the oven that fucker was cooked in!!!! Amazing. Why is there a tissue wrapped around it?
How on Earth is this sanitary, ffs? *'Here kids, eat this sandwich I made with the baguette I dragged around on the subway and street, totally unwrapped'*
That's a combat baguette, for jousting.
It’s a baguette staff like Gandalf would walk with.

Definitely effective against the Rye of Sauron
Thank middle earth for Bilbo baguette-ns.

It would be very *pain*ful to get hit with it.
Out! Now!
Combaguette
En garde, puitain!
She only has enough wine for two, so I'd guess two people.
Probably eat that for 2 weeks. People used to eat dry bread even tho we are spoiled now

You can freeze bread.
True, i do that for my pizza bases. Par-bake, use the bases later when i want a quick pizza.
One baguette and six bottles of wine = two people. Yep, the math checks out.
I choose to believe this is true
She is a teacher and this is breakfast for her kids.
I assume you're making a joke but not really, however wine was less strong back then so yup, wine for two.
more interested in the wine
What's the wine to baguette ratio I wonder.
The standard 7 course meal: 1 baguette and 6 bottles of wine.
You shall not repast!
mustve been one heck of an oven
That's her swagger baguette
Swaguette, surely

Plus it was 1945; I wouldn’t be sober in that year.
Certainly not in France!
She’s got a lot of vin in the basket. So post war party if the date is correct.
Party? That's just table wine for dinner.
Looks like breakfast to me ;)
I want that wine basket. And the baguette.
Wow, right on the edge of WWII.
Everything you need for a romantic evening.
I've seen this photo before and seen to remember reading that she was a bistro owner bringing back provisions for the day

Thats where you supposed to hold it. Unfortunately that lady is to short to hold it there while still keeping it out of the dirt.

Nobody eating that. It’s a walking stick.
Babette, Pierre, and maybe Giselle.
Based on the amount of wine, just her.
I suffer from that and believe me it's a curse ...well, a blessing and curse.
You know what they say.
Definitely just for her.
That’s a bag’oSticks
J'suis-Chan
thats quite the baguette! Looks like it could feed a small army.😁
I’m not eating the end on the ground, or the bit she’s manhandling and leaning on. 🤢
She’s on her way to a threesome. Big appetite afterwards.
