How many people does one standard garlic baguette serve in your house?

[PLAYJAJADINGDONG]

As a side with pasta dish.

Just that 🙂

The slices are piddling little things.

I think we have lost sight of portion control in this country. Sometimes I can barely even pick a slice up in order to better divide it between us, they are so massive.

A pp said that she cuts the bigger ones up. Well that's all very well if you don't have teeny tiny hands and a battered old Volvo to worry about.

I thought you were serious for a second.

I only serve it with soup, and it makes two or three servings.

Good for you! It’s just a bit wanky though to tell people that they’re ruining their palates with god awful this and that isn’t it?

Yes, it is.

One whole garlic bread? Oh easily serves five of us with enough left over for the next two days as well. The carbs! You disgusting fat pigsters. Think of the carbs!

Wanky garlic bread. Just get an Asda cheapy garlic baguette FGS.

And risk destruction of their palate?

I’m embarrassed for you and your flagrant food philistinism

@Boltonb frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

I want some now, with bolognaise on top... so much for the healthy eating plan

I would say 2 but there'd prob be a little left over - not enough for a third person though. So 2.5?

2 with something like lasagne/pasta bake and salad.

If its with a pasta dish where the pasta portion is more flexible then maybe 3.

I wouldn’t have it with lasagne or pasta, it’s nice with a bowl of tomato soup though! I like a slice of two of those ones that look like pizza. One of those divided into 8 slices and we all have a couple each 👍

Indeed. As one of the ubiquitous teeny-tiny MNers (and who often gets mistaken for a teenager despite being of pensionable age), I actually once got trapped beneath a slice of garlic bread as I am far too slight to lift such a horrific carb load off myself.

I lay there for hours, squeaking intermittently, until a passing ‘bread + pasta’ heifer was able to set me free by shamelessly wolfing down said slice of bread.

Dreadfully traumatic day. I’ve not dared THINK about a single carb since.

2,they are tiny

24. Half a bit each, remains last for a week.

Of realistically, 2 people.

Depends on how many of us are eating so between 2-4. Ideally 3 is enough.

2 adults. Maybe some left maybe not

In what way are you using TeenyTiny as a dig or out me down? Are you making fun of short arses under 4 foot 10?

Ha, I was joking but I see someone has already gone for the winner of true competitive MN style eating.

Honestly, I can't believe people eat garlic bread alongside other food. It's a rare treat in our house and one baguette should last our family of 5 at least 3 meals as it should only ever be an accompaniment to a vegetable main - soup perhaps as another poster suggests, or a salad.

The beauty of garlic bread is that it has SO MUCH FAT AND CARBS that no salad dressing is necessary!

One baguette for 2 people here but I usually buy the slices because we get more of the garlicky bits and less of the crusty bits. A pack of 9 slices means two slices each and a spare which magically disappears while plating up to avoid arguments over who gets it.

I've been making my own more recently but not in an effort to be wanky, it's because I keep completely forgetting to add the garlic bread to our order (didn't happen when I was walking around the shop!) and we always have bread, butter and garlic in the house.

It's a MN trope. Regular posts from teeny tiny posters who can barely eat a crumb and constantly get mistaken for teeny tiny teens who might be blown over if it's a bit gusty outside - they really are THAT slender and teeny tiny.

It's quite weird actually,

4 but one is a toddler.

We used to have one between the two of us, but not with pasta though, that would be a bit of a carb overload for us!
