| | longuet/breadstick/grissini | Explanation:
French being much more specific than English about patisserie and baking matters, I would stick (!) with the French term if you can.
Le Vocabulaire du Pain defines the longuet thus:
'petit pain biscotté mince et long (gressin)'
In English the only words we use for this type of thing is the Italian grissini (always in its plural form) or breadstick. As the typical 'longuet' is rather different, I would be inclined to keep the word, and perhaps put breadstick in brackets. |
