“I find that a duck’s opinion of me is influenced by whether or not I have bread. A duck loves bread, but he does not have the capability to buy a loaf. That’s the biggest joke on the duck ever. If I worked at a convenience store, and a duck came in and stole a loaf of bread, I would let him go. I’d say, ‘Come back tomorrow, bring your friends!’ ― Mitch Hedberg
It’s also that the crust tastes absolutely awesome and a squishy “bread” is without soul.
I eat a lot of bread.
In my opinion a crust is a must and traditional is better than American ¯\_༼ •́ ͜ʖ •̀ ༽_/¯
(Not to speak of the fact that “traditional” means something totally different in every part of the world and in Germany “modern” bread is the same as “traditional” bread)
If you’re happy with your state of things, that’s ok for you
There is a huge difference between the bread from supermarkets and that from bakeries like Hofpfisterei in Munich, that really keep traditions alive. You ever notice how much of the brown bread in supermarkets is not actually whole wheat? It’s colored brown with caramel.
If it says Vollkorn then it’s 90%+ whole-meat. If it doesn’t then it isn’t, your usual “brown bread” in Germany is a Mischbrot.
What is “American bread”?
Like is that what everyone calls the presliced stuff?
