- So lets talk about the food situation here. Morning meal are quite mellow. The typical is a crossiant and a coffee, which is quite expensive, but do not fret, our school cafeteria or student run bar (literally they sell beer) has an espresso machine, however as of now they are not steaming milk...so I only get shots of espresso, which is way better than caribou coffee's and i know they do not take care of thier machine much, yet it is probably underused. back to what i was saying, lunches consist of mostly a sandwich if you are out, and it always comes on a foot long, or maybe longer really hard bread. Yes, I said really hard bread, like my jaw was hurting for a week straight because of eating this bread. But since I have built up Jaw muscle and I can tackle the baguette with ease. I have created a technique for eating this hard bread. I call it the baguette rip. It is as follows:
1. First, examine your baguette, try to measure the amount of force that needs to be applied in order to sufficiently bite into your baguette. Too much pressure will weaken your jaw muscle, and too little will not break through the surface of the crust.
2. Next, figure your strategy. By this I mean, will you eat your baguette from one end to the other, or maybe start from the middle. Maybe you might want to bite your baguette and then spread cheese onto the breaded part, for this you should have your cheese, and here cheese is a whole other topic.
3. Now, turn your head to the right and bite down into your baguette. As you pull your baguette away from your mouth, you must move your head from the right to the left. therefore using your whole head, and not just your jaw to get a good rip on your baguette. The turning of your head also gives you a clean rip. With a clean rip you could stop at anytime and just put your baguette away, with a bad rip; your baguette just looks mulated.
4. to finish, pull your baguette in the opposite direction of your head. Steps 3 and 4 should be done in one fluid motion. While you are still learning, it may be easier to put your whole body into this baguette rip. Just turn your whole body instead of your head. It might not be a good idea to try the baguette rip while walking until you get the hang of it. It takes a lot of cordination with the whole head and body thing. I'm sure after a few practice times, you'll be ripping your baguette like a pro...now go buy those baguettes!
learn some french: je voudrais un baguette s'il vous plait. <>
