Under $10 - Chicken Salad Baguette, $4.50
The Age
Tuesday December 21, 2004
The premise is simple: walk in, get food, walk out. Nothing flash, just an honest baguette, packed to the rafters with whatever you feel like, all in under a minute. My current favourite is the chicken salad combo: a warm, crisp baguette layered with roast chicken and then crammed with cucumber, tomato, lettuce, beetroot, julienned carrot and a sprig of fresh coriander. More adventurous lunchers ask for chilli or raw onion, but cheese or avocado works better for the faint of heart. It's no fancy, trussed-up focaccia, but it hits the spot just the same.
