Spare no details, come on you baguette lovers, my missus was thinking to start making her own batch of Baguettes in her small convenient store to get some of the punters in.

Your help will be strongly be appreciated!

Thanks guys in advance!

Do they come with any sauce or not, sorry for being blunt as sometimes I get put off if there isn't any sort of sauce but that is just me, how about you guys?

What sauce would you add with ham+cheese or tuna+mayo?

These two are just a one off as I don't think you can have any souce on these too.

But a Chicken Salad or a lamb/beef salad wrap you could have mild chilli relish or even sweet chilli sauce, I was thinking of these in particular.

Blimming neck, Pineapple & Banana in the same sentence as baguette, never thought of that or will consider it, unless if major high street vendors are selling a lot of these, what's the others take on it?

So tell me guys of some sort of sauce you would prefer and I will try them out.

Also what are the main baguettes which are the most popular you guys find in a major high street baguette shops and also what sauce would you like in baguettes?

Hope she has her food hygiene certificate if they are going to be for sale.

My favourite are the chicken, bacon and sweetcorn ones they sell at my local greggs.

(not including independant delis)

She has worked very hard to obtain these certificates as she really feels strong about it, I am just hoping that it pays off!

Is there a specific baguette you think will taste nice that you can't find anyone doing (pre-made)?

Personally I want to pick up the baguette, pay, and eat. Not really interested in messing around with sauce.

I mean a sauce already added?

As far as fillings are concerned I have my baguette needs pretty much fulfilled tbh. The only thing that would sway me is the baguette itself.

For instance the ones you get at places like greggs tend to be a bit cold and dry, whereas if you go to a proper deli you get par-baked bagguettes that are then warmed to-order. And the bread itself tends to be better quality.

So forget the fillings, the key to a delicious baguette is the bread itself, in my opinion.

That's some good critique there, thanks.

So what is good tasty baguette in your mind then?

I have to be honest with you guys, I have stopped eating baguettes (from high street places) for over a year as I found most places to be selling very dry baguettes and my mouth is always aching after too much chewing, don't know if this relates to any of you guys facing such situations as mine?

So BACON Baguette & Tuna Baguette is a MUST then, I suppose?

I might be the only one here but I can easily gobble a massive cheese topped baguette from the Supermarket by itself, without any topping right out of the bag.

Now thats what I call a hungry guy, but no salad?

Also what sort of Baguette would I be choosing to use to hit a big proportion of baguette eaters?
