In Brazil we have a small baguette called “French bread”! It’s very convenient and absolutely everywhere

I believe those are called Petit Pain.

At first I was impressed it exists if France, but it’s kinda obvious. Now I’ve learnt that, for 20 years of my life, I believed a bullshit story about how hundreds of years ago people in Brazil couldn’t make baguette so they sold “French Bread”
Btw, cute name for a pastry

So here in the UK they sell these fresh in Lidl: a cheap supermarket but it has an amazing bakery where they make these and other items.
I often go to Lidl at lunchtime to buy two of these and something simple to fill them with into sandwiches, usually cheese and ham, (insert bland UK food joke here).
My question for you, in the spirit of international culinary collaboration, what Brazilian fillings would you stuff one of these with to make a great sandwich?

We put cheese, ham, salami, mortadella and other stuff. However just mortadella on bread is really famous, because it’s quite cheap and a very famous TV show called Chaves had the main character loving it.
Recently I’ve started trying to make more meal-like sandwiches, like chicken, tomato and lettuce (really tasty) or egg, cheese and peperoni (all heated up together) and it’s considerably better
Also, you’re talked about petit pain, do you know they have that name in France or they are sold with that name in the UK?
