Baguettes in Laos

bahnmi pate 2

I was going to conflate this picture with another post, but baguettes seem to be such a big part of Lao food culture that I thought they actually deserve their very own post (plus I kinda like this photo and thought it deserved its own post).  Baguettes are everywhere here, probably because of the huge French influence and presence here.  I’m not complaining; I love baguettes.  Just a few weeks ago, I was daydreaming about buying a completely unnecessary bag in which to carry a freshly purchased baguette even though (a) I’m broke and (b) I hardly ever buy baguettes.
