How many people does a frozen garlic baguette feed

190 replies

IHopeYouStepOnALegPiece · 07/08/2023 18:26

In your house?

A friend who is a competitive underfeeder claims 1 baguette feeds 2 adults and 4 teenagers. I say she’s fucking ridiculous.

I’ve eaten half of one whilst typing this so assume there’s a middle ground

Unless it’s similar to the mumsnet chicken

It would be a stretch for two adults and two small kids here. Probably three portions.

Whatelsecouldibecalled · 07/08/2023 18:27

2 adults

GroomedForSerfdom · 07/08/2023 18:28

If the person is me, one baguette to one person.

Xrays · 07/08/2023 18:28

Half each - 2 adults really. There’s 4 of us including Ds aged 11 and dd aged 19 so I’d get 2 and we’d have half each.

Peony654 · 07/08/2023 18:28

I’d say it feeds 4. DH and I usually share half a baguette. And rarely.

Mousehoel · 07/08/2023 18:28

I could eat a whole one.
If being polite I could share it with another adult.

1992H · 07/08/2023 18:28

Her poor kids must be permanently starving!

i usually allow for around 1/2 baguette per person, on the basis that if I do one for me and my two kids they ask for more once it’s gone, but when I cook two there’s a little left!

UltramarineViolet · 07/08/2023 18:28

Depends how much other food is being served but I would serve it as a side dish for no more than 4 people

Cloudsandrainnotsunandsand · 07/08/2023 18:28

We use part baked ones and allow half a person.. Ds 8 can eat half a baguette no problem.. Your mate's dc will have food issues on such rations imo.

storypushers · 07/08/2023 18:28

We have one between 2 adults and 2 young children. Could all probably have another slice ideally. If adults have 2 and kids have 1 your friend is probably right.

Shutuptrevor · 07/08/2023 18:29

There’s usually nine slices aren’t there? It goes between 3-4 in this house, depending on what else is on the plate.

Watchthedoormat · 07/08/2023 18:29

2 adults.
Likely 1 teen if my dc are anything to go by.

HauntedPencil · 07/08/2023 18:29

For three kids I use one - for 5 people definitely 2/3 baguettes (depending what else is on offer)

One is a bit paltry

Pinkitydrinkity · 07/08/2023 18:29

1 baguette between 2 adults - or 3 at a push!

Dacadactyl · 07/08/2023 18:29

4 in this house, so 2 adults and DD16 and DS11. But obviously with pizza and salad, not just on its own.

MillicentTrilbyHiggins · 07/08/2023 18:29

Is cook one for the 3 of us (18 and 16 year olds and me)
Although I'm low carb these days so the DC get half each.

BoohooWoohoo · 07/08/2023 18:29

2 adults (although 1 adult could eat it on their own)

autienotnaughti · 07/08/2023 18:30

As in literally one ? (So not a two pack) 2 adults and 1 child max

AnSolas · 07/08/2023 18:30

1 for 1 if snacking
Or
2 between 3 if its a side to bulk a meal

TenOhSeven · 07/08/2023 18:30

2 adults but we might leave the end bits.

CloverHilla · 07/08/2023 18:30

In this household of 2A and 2 teenagers we would eat at least 2 baguettes. They'd be horrified at sharing 1, plus everyone always wants the end bit so no fights over that.

OhDoh · 07/08/2023 18:30

Shared one between me DP and DS 3. It was supposed to be just two of use but DS demanded some lol 😂. Wish I had made more!

BreadInCaptivity · 07/08/2023 18:31

In this house 3 adults but that's because I don't like it that much and will often only have one slice - two at a push.

DH and DS could happily eat one between them along side a (very) large portion of lasagna and salad (especially after doing sports).

Overthebow · 07/08/2023 18:31

Surely it depends on what else is served with it? A big pasta bowl, salad and garlic bread I would say 2 adults and either 1 or 2 kids so would serve 1 baguette, but smaller pasta and no salad then I would do 2 baguettes for that many people.
