On 'Welcome, First Time in Korea?' Frenchman Paco and his friends discussed what makes a good baguette after tasting Korea's baguette.
On the 9th, the MBC every1 entertainment program 'Welcome, First Time in Korea?' featured Paco, Jamil and Max visiting a famous bakery in Jeonju. While tasting the sweet and delicious breads found only in Korea, they seriously discussed baguettes. Fabien said, "Just as pansori is an intangible cultural property and was listed by UNESCO, the French baguette is also listed by UNESCO," saying that could be the case.
Max said, "This is a personal opinion, but a baguette should give you an impression the moment you take a bite. A good baguette's first bite should be slightly salty. And at the 'best baguette contest' there were usually five slashes," presenting criteria for baguettes. Jamil gave his own opinion, and their views diverged.
Then they concluded, "The price of the baguette is the key." Fabien said, "If a baguette is priced at 1 euro, even if it's very expensive it's 1.7 euros; if you raise the price beyond that, a revolution will happen. That must never happen." To help DinDin and Kim Joon-hyun understand, Fabien asked, "What if you had to pay 5,000 won for a bowl of rice in Korea?" DinDin and Kim Joon-hyun recoiled, saying, "No way. Oh my, that analogy is so good."
