    The part baked ones from Iceland are nice (2 packs for £1 i think). And its best too cook them just under the time it says to.

    The Cuisine de France ones (also sold in Budgens) are pre made and just shoved in the oven at the store. They are nice when fresh but eat them the next day and they go hard! (although you can refresh them by sticking them in the oven for a few minutes).

    I like M&S bakery ones - although not even M&S has a bakery - they are scrummy! :j

    However, proper french sticks (ie in France) are always hard by the next day. It's cos there is no crap in them. :D

    I like the part baked bread from Aldi especially the ciabatta.

    The reason French Sticks go stale so quickly is because the dough is made with no fat.

    Our M&S has a bakery. My friend used to start at 7am baking for the store & cafe. Yummy!

  • It's strange as where I used to live Sainsburys baguettes were the best but our local Sainsburys here aren't so good. I just went into Tesco today and stocked up on fresh baguettes to put in the freezer. I cut them in half to get them in the freezer. Cook for 15 mins in the oven and they are lovely.

    The best bread around has to be from Waitrose bread counter. You can't beat it. Tescos and Sainsburys doesn't come anywhere near it!
