Pain Garni & Non-Baguette Breads
Wrap Poulet

Sandwich Flûte
Sandwich on flûte (between baguette and ficelle size).
Sandwich Ficelle
A loaf named 'string', a third the heft of a baguette and mostly crust, so the spare filling rides close to the surface and reads loud. Bread built to recede, eaten fast before it dries.
