Ahhh. Coolness.
nar: Well, as I said, they're basically all slight variations on a theme. Not to sound elitist (regionalist??), but the one notable thing is that it's apparently difficult enough to get NOLA style french bread just right (humidity and air pressure here are apparently unique or very close to it) in most places beyond the Greater New Orleans area. e.g. light/fluffy/aerated innards that practically dissolve in your mouth, within a thin, crispety-chewy crust. If the crust is more or less smooth (as if it were an oversized sub roll) with a dense, chewy inside, you've got the aforementioned "Italian bread dough in a different shape." WM does this, and it's not bad at all, just not real French.
All of the "French Bread" I've seen in most other places are normally either the Italian-esque type, or something closer to an actual French baguette (long, thin, tougher crust). Many places outside of the main area will simply drop stereotypical PB ingredients (e.g. fried oysters/shrimp) on a sub or hoagie roll and call it a PB instead of a sub or hoagie."For a musician, the SNES sound engine is like using Crayola Crayons.

Oh, that makes sense. Like how sourdough starters are different depending on where the yeast came from. I like crispy but thin crusts, those are good. I've never understood why some bread has such a hard crust that it rips up the inside of my mouth. But hey, put "artisan" in the name and that makes it okay, right?

Hahah, yeah. My mom digs those, actually. I could go for a good sourdough boule right about now, now that you mention it... >_>"For a musician, the SNES sound engine is like using Crayola Crayons. Nobuo Uematsu used Crayola Crayons to paint the Sistine Chapel." - Jeremy Jahns (re: "Dancing Mad")
