French bread sold in England isn't French bread, unless bought from a genuine boulanger. It is English bread shaped to look like baguettes. My understanding is that French bread is baked without fat, which is why it has a shelf life of only a few hours and why there are so many bakeries in France, as people will buy bread two or even three times a day.

There wasn’t any fat in this - just warm water, yeast, flour, sugar and salt.
