Will it subsequently be eaten at a picnic?

This is the best summary I could come up with:

For the past five years, bragging rights over the world’s longest baguette have belonged not to the residents of a small village or a city in France, but rather to a clutch of bakers 500 miles away in Como, Italy.

On Sunday a crop of 12 bakers from France set out to rectify this, with plans to spend at least eight hours kneading, shaping and baking their way back to victory.

They gathered early morning in the commune of Suresnes, in the western suburbs of Paris, and readied themselves to beat the standing record of 132.62 metres – roughly the length of the arch at Wembley stadium.

“In Italy?” one local told newspaper Le Parisien this week as he emerged from a bakery, baguette firmly tucked under his arm.

The sentiment was echoed among the bakers who gathered at Suresnes’ Terrasse du Fécheray observation deck, where their record-breaking attempt was due to unfold against a backdrop of sweeping views of Paris and the Eiffel Tower.

“I hope that we’ll be able to recover the record for France,” Sylvain Lecarpentier, one of those taking part, had written in a post on social media in the lead up to the event.

Thanks for sharing!

Hope we Germans take it away.

I already have a design for a oven that would allow for infinitely long bread.
