baguette
Long crusty loaf
A baguette is a long, narrow loaf of French bread with a crisp crust and soft interior.
The shape is distinctive—typically about two feet long and only a few inches wide.
Baguettes are meant to be eaten fresh, ideally the same day they're baked, as they go stale quickly.
In jewelry, a baguette is a gemstone cut into a long rectangular shape, resembling the bread in silhouette.
