143. When baguettes were king

The Shed Dogs fall back into Daylight Losing Time with a look at all the fun things Apple’s new operating system brings to your phone: good tips, highs and lows, and favourite features. When we’re done with that, we need a change of pace and so bring you, under RJ’s tutelage, a thorough background on baguettes, followed by a rigorous taste test of three different local baguettes so that you can know what to put in that big basket on the front of your bike. After this, you’ll be able to dazzle your friends and scare your enemies with your confident cosmopolitan knowledge of one of France’s most carefully guarded culinary treasures. All you’ll need is that beret you’ve been wishing you could wear.
