Most baguettes are 26 inches long. Some are even longer. None will fit into the average domestic toaster.
A toaster big enough to receive a piece of bread over two feet in length would also occupy quite a bit of space in a small kitchen, yet a freshly toasted baguette is a particular delight.
There
is a now a solution to all of these problems:
Nelson's Column Toaster
As the name suggests, this toaster is a replica model of the famous Nelson's Column of Trafalgar Square. ie it stands vertically and has a small Nelson figure on top. This means it doesn't require a lot of room. The main column opens up into two halfs, to allow the upright insertion of a long baguette that's been split down the middle.
All of the controls are located on the various parts of the Nelson figure re on/off/toasting time etc.
When the toast is ready, the column springs open with a little patriotic fanfare, and the oh so French bread emerges fully toasted courtesy of our hero Lord Nelson.

Can it be configured to cook french poultry ? After all, Admiral the Lord Nelson cooked their goose ... |

And we would like a Saturn V version. |
|
| |
The Saturn V5 was my first proposal, but I rewrote it in line with the added irony of repeatedly giving the French a second roasting. |
|
| |
A range of styles is indicated. |
|
| |
Perhaps a "Washington Monument" version could be offered, too. |

// two halfs // perhaps Sp. "two halves" |

A life-sized toaster might indeed feed the entire Royal
Navy in a single sitting. |

+ well yes I really need that! i used to have a
toaster oven which fit Larger slices of bread, but I
got a regular toaster and have turn long bread over
and put it in again. This would definitely solve the
issue. |
