freshly baked bread (with no preservatives/etc to make them last for days)
Yes, but it is possible to make lovely bread from only whole natural ingredients which is still edible for breakfast on the second day without resort to the toasting fork. If the French like their weird food, that's their affair, but they can stop pretending they've mastered baking. And don't even get me started on the disparity between their superiority complex vis-à-vis cheese and the reality of their position relative to other cultures 🙂
That's kinda the point of freshly baked bread (with no preservatives/etc to make them last for days).
SOP is to wander down to the boulangerie in the morning, buy the baguettes, eat some with/for breakfast and then maybe with lunch, and then the remains (if any) get used as an ingredient in something else.
