That's not bread, that's a disgrace.

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Y'all are like

Yum! This fermented sheep asshole and rotten cabbage is true food culture!

But you react to soft sweet bread like a vampire in a 60s horror flick reacts to holy water

Because it is a disgrace to bakery... I love bread but that is disgusting

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And all those regional European delicacies are a disgrace to cooking. I love food, but those pickled-shrew-taint type things are disgusting.

I was commenting on the hypocrisy of you calling what is just a plain soft sweet bread disgusting, while all these European countries get a pass on their regional abominations of food culture.

I know that plain white bread is not great, but it's basically just a really boring cake. The ire is unreasonable.

The bread tastes fine, but the ingredients are awful.

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Like what?

I'll grant you they're not artisanal breads with handpicked ingredients - but not all brands load up on nasty preservatives, and people make white bread themselves, too.

American bread is classified as cake where I live because of the amount of sugar in it.

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Right. Literally like I said earlier - it's just a boring cake.

I didn't realize that Europe considered cake to be such a terrible thing

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't consider cake itself to be bad. But that bread must be horrible for you.

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Only in the sense that people eat it more than you'd typically eat cake - id agree with that.

But I don't really see why it's bad inherently

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well, most people don't eat cake extremely often. They may eat bread not thinking its almost cake.

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic 2 points 2 weeks ago

So... The thing I just said?

I'm not gonna disagree that Americans have unhealthy eating habits. But the bread itself isn't the issue, imo.

Using every little bit of an animal you have killed in order to not waste the life is actually awful.

However, prioritising profit over substance, shortening leavening time and adding sugars and preservatives is actually wonderful.

I didn't realize Europe had ethical issues with boring cake. If I could roll my eyes any harder at your disingenuousness, they'd pop out of my head.

No, go back to your foie gras, the absolute paragons of virtue that you are. We will just have to satisfy ourselves with bread that is occasionally shelf stabilized, like the absolute monsters that makes us.
