That reminds me of the genius idea my son came up with for spaghetti bolognese with garlic baguettes. It used to be that the end pieces were my least favourite, but he started taking the end 3 or however many pieces as a whole chunk. Then he would scoop out all the bread from the open end, then refill it with spaghetti bolognese. When I do it I like to cut up the pulled out bread with the side of my fork and stuff that back in there also, really packing it in, then you just scoff the bolognese baguette end in all its glory!
