Problem I have with really crusty baguettes for sandwiches is that softer fillings want to escape when you bite into them. So did your pate stay put? No matter. Your bread is beautiful. I’ll bet it was tasty, too.

Is this really a Vietnamese baguette? Does it have a cotton like soft crumb that would melt in your mouth without chewing? It does look great though with an impressive ear regardless of whether or not it is really an authentic copy of a real thing.
