How are baguettes "picnicking essentials" in the US? I have literally never seen one at a picnic.

Edit: I will die on this hill...a bread knife isn't even a part of standard picnic basket kit sold in the US.

    Just going to the wrong picnics I guess! Nice baguette with cheese and salami.

    You obviously do not have a Leatherman Flair. Knife with serrated tip for crusty bread, pâté spreader, cocktail fork, corkscrew, etc.

    Slice it before you go. Are items with bread not found in picnics?

    Sandwiches are perfect for a picnic, and it's an occasion you'd want to gussy them up a bit for. Fancier bread might be the cheapest and most obvious way to do that.

    Lol what is a "picnic basket kit"? I feel like Amazon is trying to sell you something.

    It's something that has existed for decades, possibly close to a century now? It typically includes two small plates, two white mouth wine glasses, two spoons, forks and knives, space for a wine bottle with a way to keep it chilled, food and usually some space for napkins and such.

    Just checked and Amazon does indeed sell them, some are pretty fancy haha.
