[edit] Official French Bread
This article is wrong, isn't it? I believe French food laws specify that "french bread", not any bread, is to be made only of water, flour, yeast, and salt. Please correct me if I'm wrong, or correct the article if I'm not. CGameProgrammer 19:56, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
I deleted the passage below as it was not sensible : I tracked who inserted it and found that it was inserted by user Center-for-Medieval-Studies who was banned more then a year ago but I found today a text that he left in the article on Baguette : 08:55, 6 June 2005 Center-for-Medieval-Studies He wrote :
The French government recently codified into law a specific type of baguette, the "baguette de tradition", which can only be made using pre-modern methods. This classification was the result of the efforts of historian Steven Kaplan, who specializes in the history of French bread from 1700 - 1770. Kaplan called upon the French to reject the modern baguette - which he denounced as a "tasteless, odorless monstrosity" - in favor of more flavorful, original types of French bread. The key, Kaplan's research suggested, is the 18th century practice of allowing the yeast to develop overnight, which results in bread with a cream-colored interior (rather than the familiar white) and a much more pronounced flavor and smell which is widely regarded as superior to the modern baguette.
Did someone try to find the mistakes that he wrote in the wikipedia?

I'm not an expert about baguettes. I did my best to undo the damage he did to some other topics, but I really don't know what to make of an edit like that. Go ahead and delete it as unsourced if you wish. DurovaCharge! 02:24, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism
erm... I'm not quite up to speed on wikipedia protocol, but there's a glaring piece of vandalism on this page, and I wasn't sure how to bring it to an editor's attention. Anyway, someone messed up the "baguette" page.
