France produces around 16 million baguettes a day. I love it!
“The baguette is a daily ritual, a structuring element of the meal, synonymous with sharing and conviviality,” Azoulay, UNESCO.
The loved baguette is now with other foods and culinary cultures on UNESCO’s list of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
“The baguette is as important as the Eiffel Tower in the French gastronomy.” — Marc Thuet, a Toronto-based chef.
Homage to French baguette in the city of Paris.
The French baguette has a long history and it is hard to imagine life without this bread.
It is not only food but also an important symbol of culture.
It is not just France that treasures its bread but many other countries, too.
The UNESCO’s decision has been met with criticism as well as support around the world.
Some people are against it as they think that this will ruin the true flavor of French bread.
Others are in favor because they think that this will help make sure that this popular bread will never be forgotten.
Also in the list of Intangible Cultural Heritage are the Neapolitan pizza, kimchi, Belgian beer culture…
