Excuse us for a minute or two – or perhaps even an hour or more – but we’re salivating over the record breaking news that has come out of Milan over the weekend.
In case you haven’t heard, French and Italian bakers combined their efforts to produce the world’s longest baguette.
It came in at 122 metres in length, or 400ft for those using imperial measurements.
