I think it's impossible to explain to Americans that in Europe, in every small town, there are at least 4 bakeries selling daily fresh baked breads and savory lunch items. American "bakeries" are just pastry shops selling desserts.
That is definitely true that white wonder bread that used to be a staple of many homes had additional sugar in it.Also Jersh is spot on about Burgerland store bread, its packed with sugar, very shelf stable, and poor quality.
I do not know if this is true or not, but my gut tells me that even the varieties beyond chedder cheese in America are probably still way more processed and lower quality than the same types of those cheeses you'd find in Europe.
Lmao at anyone who doesn't eat a luther burger for breakfast every morning.uh, yes? what else would you buy at a bakery? bread?
you've been away from the motherland for too long. we upgraded to donuts years ago

I think the Greek market sells that is that the spiral phyllo type dough with cheese and spinach inside? If so its delicious.Something like burek (or krompiruša/sirnica/zeljanica) being available on every street is one of the best things in the balkans. Best damn bakeries in the world.
bro low key doxing himself with his regional grocer chainsMy brother in Christ, have you never stepped foot inside a Wegmans or Giant Eagle before?
I think I understand what's happening here. Our Dear Feeder has simply lived in Europe so long that he's adopted their cope. This is just cope from The 1976 Judgement of Paris when American wines won both red and white categories over French wines with European judges. One French women even tried to take back her score when she learned she voted for American wines.
The European simply can't tolerate that he cannot speak his mind, he cannot own a weapon, he cannot teach his child, he can't own anything. He is cattle.
And so the europoor copes by braying wildly at the happy American "you can only eat slop! You have not my delicious delicacies!" He says as wet hay drops haphazardly from his chewing muzzle. The euro cattle shakes in anger, bell on his neck clanging in a rhythmless discord.
He cannot speak about his own country or "countrymen" without being beaten and slaughtered by his owner and so he moos in anger at us. I'm sorry to say euro cattle but I am too busy enjoying all the best foods in the world, all available in the best country in the world.
I will construct a wonderful charcuterie board of American splendor and kickback and enjoy my AC and my ability to call you a homosexual. When a sunni Muslim lights big Ben in fire because he saw an ankle, I will be chewing on the finest american bruschetta, when the Paris sky is choked by smoke from peaceful Algerian protests I will taste some wonderful Butterkase. A grooming gang turns a young girl into literal sausage, but not nearly as sublime as the salami I dangle between two finger above my open mouth. Ah how wonderful, how exquisite. Finally to top off the meal I will call my local representative and tell him how good a job he's doing and how fine life is before pouring myself a bottle of Californian red (the finest wine in the world).
Homemade feta cheese and spanakopita at my local farmers market got me through some rough timesI think the Greek market sells that is that the spiral phyllo type dough with cheese and spinach inside? If so its delicious.
Oh sure, but the suggestions I give on how to fix this country would land me with an account ban and target hit for """"fedposting"""" and """"glowing"""", smfhI don't know much about this, but it's baffling to me how self-hating us Americans are nowadays. You guys do realize that we got ourselves into this mess right? We could uncuck the government but instead you guys just bitch and moan. Fucking retards.
My favorite local baker does a version of spana that I've not had better even at Greek restaurants.Homemade feta cheese and spanakopita at my local farmers market got me through some rough times
I call for Total Expat Death.I own land and farm animals.
You are a fat expat.
I'm thinking I'm making a mistake even replying to you, but what are you talking about? Where in Europe do you experience this travesty?Well yeah. European homes also have almost no kitchen or laundry room, not to mention lack air conditioning. European stoves are more around to heat up water for tea and small meals where Americans literally cook family sized meals. Society is set up differently, in US the big grocery chains are just for simplicity, there’s still delis and such but I think Null has just been spoiled by European living. He probably thinks the only places to go out to eat are Olive Garden and Buffal Wild Wings while bars are nonexistent
Actually, to add to this, this goes for just about any corporate grocer and even the small mom and pops. American consumer culture has forced European style of bakeries out of business. Prices were too high and demand was too high as well. In fact, a lot of the ingredients that are in our modern breads and ready made foods stem from the customer. Too expensive? Let's find a mix of chemicals that replicate flour or figure out a way to optimize flour's use, let's find replacements for everything else! The bread doesn't last long, well, okay, the company starts adding preservatives, conditioners, etc. Then, in an effort to further optimize and meet the demand of the consumer companies cut even more corners by stuffing bread full of sugar. Same with processed meats.Powerleveling, slightly. HEB no longer makes real scratch anything. Everything is frozen and shipped to each store to be baked on location. The exception are certain dougnuts and scratch breads. But even the "scratch" breads are essentially easy bake mixes just at larger scale. TLDR, even though it is scratch it is basically still fresh Walmart bread.
I like when they mince green onion into the spinach and cheese though it is not traditionalMy favorite local baker does a version of spana that I've not had better even at Greek restaurants.
