Food and drink

This is the list that pays for itself on the first morning, because everything in it is asked for out loud. The second entry, la baguette, is a word English has borrowed and narrowed to one meaning. In French it is first of all a thin stick: une baguette magique is a magic wand, les baguettes are chopsticks, la baguette du chef d'orchestre is the conductor's baton, and a drummer holds des baguettes too. The bread is called that because of its shape and nothing else. So a French sentence with baguette in it is not necessarily about lunch, and d'un coup de baguette means something happened as if by magic.
