Which sentence is correct:

  1. Best enjoyed with baguette.
  2. Best enjoy with baguette.

And should I use a prefix before the baguette? Thanks.
 
No.1 is correct and without 'a".

I'm not sure what tedmc meant by "No 1 is correct and without "a" " - it's not grammatical.

No 1 is incorrect without "a" and it's not a complete sentence. You might see "Best enjoyed with a baguette" under a photograph of, for example, a large glass of cold beer.

Should the complete sentence be 'Cold beer is best enjoyed with a baguette'?

I guess it means 'No. 1 is correct and "a" is not needed'.

That would be one possible correct sentence.

We could probably all guess at what was meant. I'm going to wait until tedmc comes back to us on this one.
 
  1. Best enjoyed
  2. Best enjoy

Hello, Ucul:

Active: A person enjoys this best with a baguette.

Passive: This is best enjoyed with a baguette. / This is enjoyed best with a baguette. (As you can see, you need the past participle "enjoyed."}

Yes, those are phrases and not sentences of course.
'A' is an article, not a prefix.

A cup of hot coffee/ A glass of cold bear is best enjoyed with a baguette.
Hot coffee/Cold beer is best enjoyed with barguette.

I definitely don't fancy drinking your first spelling error.
