The Fwench have never heard of it!

A recipe would be nice, BF.

Take a baguette. It doesn't have to be especially fresh. Put deep cuts – about three quarters down – and about 2 inches apart – or because we talking European – 5 cm. What you're trying to do is cut into pieces but leave a little bit joining each section at the bottom so that the baguette is easier to handle and is merely articulated – but it can be picked up in one piece.

Between each section put in your garlic/parsley/butter mix. Snail butter . Lots of it. If the snail butter is soft you will be able to spread it deeply into each one of the adjoining faces of the partly cut bread stick. You can even add some Parmesan cheese into the snail butter mix – why not.

wrap the whole thing in foil and then put it in the oven at about 180° for about 25 minutes.

Serve it with hot soup, chili con carne – a bit of what you fancy. Talk Fwench. Address each other by "tu".
