Freedom Baguettes

The Freedom Fry meme is not only not dead, it's grown to something larger than a breadbox. At Pret A Manger makes nice little fresh  sandwiches and you can grab them off a rack, walk up to the broad counter, swipe the debit and be on your way. The wrapper (left) was a startling side dish to my above-average chicken mozzarella sandwich. Pret's premise is to emulate finer French sandwich cuisine except quicker and without the snootiness and the riding of the Chunnelness. Whether that concern translates across-the-pond is secondary, as the continuing wrapper copy reveals the goods are, "Just baked - and popped in this sleeve...so you don't have to wait around like a wally."
