What i put myself for the sake of this blog...
I recently ventured into the newly opened Baguette du Monde near Embankment. Due to the sunny weather everyone else had had the same idea of grabbing some food and sitting in the park. Baguette Du Monde was the only place not heaving... surely because it's brand new? No.
They have a range of baguettes (obviously) for under £3 and some other stodgy looking heated snacks plus the usual "fruit", crisps and soft drinks. I went for the coronation chicken baguette, the only one i really fancied. This was a mistake as they add mayo to everything, yes even sandwiches already containing mayo, so gooey wasn't even the word. There was not alot of filling, and as previously mentioned it was mostly mayo.
They only had white baguettes, unusual you might think seeing as they sell themselves on these, but the bread is nothing to write home about, or in fact blog about. That station favourite Upper Crust do much nicer ones, except if what you have is a really hankering for a mayonnaise white bread sandwich that drips everywhere.
I didn't even finish it, which happens almost never.
Baguette Du Monde really has inflated it's prices this week. Prior to the change a bacon or sausage sandwich in the morning (they were usually not warm it must be said) with a coffee cost £1.25. Today this has gone up to £2.70. Now that's not only inflation but a tip to go to somewhere else where the bacon or sausages are at least hot and better value can be obtained elsewhere.

Yeah! I went here a while back and was appalled at the poor quality. I had a terrible cappuccino and a dry, stale inedible croissant. I was like, WTF? Don't these French people have any pride?
