Can't be, just a way for people to tease baguette bread harder.
Rumor has it that the baguette originated in the Napoleonic era, and the traditional bakery bread is not suitable for carrying and preserving as marching food, and it is made into the shape of a short stick, which is convenient for the soldiers to put into their pants.
In addition to being used to feed the hungry, the baguette was also able to withstand sideways chopping swords in battle, and this battle established the baguette's reputation as the first weapon in the food world, as well as the history of the next several hundred years.
Baguette:
The baguette is the most traditional type of French bread. French bread is represented by the word "baguette", which means "long jewel" in French. The recipe for French baguette is very simple, using only four basic ingredients: flour, water, salt and yeast, and usually no sugar, no dairy powder, no or little oil or wheat flour.
Fresh baguettes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a slightly salty texture that brings out a malty aftertaste from repeated chewing, cheese, jam, cheese, garlic, coffee, and hot sauce.
France in 1920 within the month of October out of a decree, prohibiting bakeries to let pastry chefs work from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m., which is a more saintly decree, the original intention is to protect the right of workers to a normal work and rest. But the French have to buy bread for breakfast after sunrise, and it's too late to bake the traditional round loaf after 4 a.m., so the French invented the quick-bake baguette.
But obviously this was unrealistic, and the French basket was already full of baguettes at the time. 1920's working hours ban is said to be unreliable. But the French word for modern baguette, baguette, may have appeared after 1920.
Another claim is that the Paris Metro was built with a large number of workers from different countries, faiths and races, and that this group of workers fought at the drop of a hat. At that time, eating round bread required the use of a table knife, so the fights often resulted in bloodshed, so the French authorities later replaced round bread with easy-to-tear baguettes.
But again, this claim is not plausible, as it was 1898 when construction of the Paris subway began, and the baguette predates this.
More widely circulated is the Napoleonic theory, an argument that suggests that the cooks in Napoleon's army invented the baguette because it was easy for the soldiers to hang it on their pants legs without getting in the way of marching or fighting.
But that's not realistic when you think about it. Not only would the baguettes be a hindrance to walking, but the swinging of the legs would also break them.
Relatively more reliable is the Viennese theory, according to French Wiki, in 1837, the Austrian entrepreneur Auguste Szasz opened a Viennese bakery on the Rue de Richelieu in Paris, which included long strips of Viennese bread, which were very popular among Parisians, and so they were circulated.
But this is equally problematic, at least in Victor Hugo's Les Misérables the word "flte de pain" is mentioned, which in the 19th century meant baguette, and Les Misérables mentions baguettes in the 1810s, which, according to Victor Hugo, who was a great historian, should not be made up. It's not like he's making it up.
