Fishwives of Paris

Is there a Baguette in Your Pants?


Listen Later

Is the baguette really French? (Spoiler: only kinda). France’s most famous loaf isn’t as French as you think. In this episode, Emily and Caroline dig into the absurd myths and surprising truths of the baguette’s history, from Napoleon’s army to Viennese bakers, all the way to why the “traditional” baguette was only invented in 1993, making it younger than most millennials. 


Tune in to learn:

  • Why most baguettes in France are industrial (and not worth the carbs).
  • How to spot a truly great loaf (sexy baguette ASMR included)
  • Baguette etiquette tips for your next trip to France.


The “good” baguette we devour on-screen is from Les Artistes; if you’re in Lyon, give them a try and tell them we sent you!


Hosted by Lyon-based sommelier Caroline Fazeli & Paris-based food journalist Emily Monaco.
