French eating less breadPosted Apr 28th 2006 8:38AM by Nick VagnoniFiled under: Business, Grains, Baking, Trends, Newspapers, Europe, FranceThe people of France are eating less bread than they did in decades past, according to a recent Reuters
story. At the turn of the century, the average French person consumed a little more than a pound of bread per day. That
figure is now down to a little over five ounces of bread per day, less than the average bread consumption for people
from Germany and Italy. Still, the decline seems to have steadied, with some French bakeries bolstering their sales
with loaves made of more traditional ingredients. Clotilde over at Chocolate and Zucchini
posted about these "baguettes de tradition" a few weeks ago.
