Prepare the baguette

• Take a freshly baked baguette picked up from your local bakery that morning.
• Slice it open lengthways.

Butter generously

• Spread a lot of butter, preferably French butter, over both cut sides of the baguette.

Add the ham

• Layer a generous amount of good quality ham inside the baguette.

Add the pickles

• Add some pickles, preferably cornichons, to cut through all of that fat.

Serve

• Close the sandwich and serve, ideally as a picnic sarnie.
