Bread is CIVILIZATION

Bakers knead bread to explore their souls.
And get ripped forearms.

What is there to be confused about? They can speak english correctly, but they simply refuse doing so due to a lack of respect for the language. Almost every professor at my uni is also like this: they have the skills to follow grammatical rules, but they don’t owe it to anyone to actually do it. This is normal.
Also any language where through and threw sound identical doesn’t deserve much respect.
Huh, I thought you were joking, but I just checked on google translate, and apparently the correct way to pronounce “threw” really is the same as “through”. I always pronounced “threw” a bit more in the front of my mouth so it has a different sound. Crazy stuff.
Here’s a bunch of better examples (it’s a 1 minute video).
They also resent anti-runon-sentence propaganda
This is incorrect.
Butter, jam, marmalade, honey, relish, mayonnaise, and mustard are what make life worth living.
Bread is like air: a medium that is difficult to enjoy on its own, but necessary so that we can have the truly good things.
Found the heretic
Give me a loaf of bread, and I will eat it and be happy. End of story.
Condiments are nice conditionally, but bread is always fantastic
And freshly baked bread smells and tastes orgasmic
You can eat bread without butter, but good luck eating butter without bread
Don’t tell me what to do.
It could help you get to space
Don’t be trapped by convention. Eat the best part by itself.
You should look for better bread. It exists.
Funny thing is, where I come from, a bunch of those “better breads” wouldn’t even be considered bread because we use an entire separate word for white breads. I wish English also had segregation of breads by color, because it’s easier to tell what people are talking about.
For example, garlic bread for me would mean dark bread, because that’s how it usually is here - but apparently for Americans, it’s usually white bread. Which actually kinda sounds better than what we get.
I guess what I’m saying is that there’s tons of great breads out there, but English makes it difficult to know what someone is talking about, because most of y’all are eating sai (white bread), not leib (darker breads), but using the word that I’d use to describe leib.
A rye and emmer sourdough is a thing of beauty, though. I’d also be interested in a dark garlic bread- is that normally made with whole cloves baked into the bread or is it made by putting a garlic mixture onto/into an already baked loaf and then reheating it? I am coming at this from a perspective of German breads, though, so I’m probably happier with dark breads than most people are.
It’s usually bread fried with garlic mixture, so you get really hard and crunchy pieces. It can be done extremely well, or kinda meh. Usually you get the “kinda meh” variant prepackaged and superb stuff at like fairs and stuff.
I haven’t had rye and emmer sourdough, but when I acquired a starter from a friend during lockdown, I think it was a combination of rye, barley, oat and potentially regular ol’ wheat flours to make delicious bread - I don’t remember if wheat was involved, but if it was, it was in fairly small amounts. Obviously, the ratios were different each time and so was the bread.
Garlic toast! Yes that’s usually on white bread here, I use a baguette to make it.
Better bread is bested by buttered bread.
Bread is bested by buttered bread, better bread is bested by buttered bread, but better bread bests buttered better bread.
That’s crazy. Bread is incredible. I’ll happy sit and tear pieces off and eat them like an animal. I also like condiments, but plain bread is fantastic if it’s good bread.
You’ve never bitten into a fresh, still-warm loaf of homemade sourdough just a few minutes out of the oven, have you…
Truely good bread can be eaten completely alone and taste amazing.
There’s a mom and pop shop here that makes sourdough rounds on the weekends.
There is always a line, they always sell out. It’s one of those things where if you want one, you have to get there, and get in line an hour or so before they open. Otherwise you’re SOL.
They are absolutely wonderful rounds. Just perfect.
Motherfuckers invented a boulangerie and you queue for an hour?
Why waste my time when I can slather it with something delicious?
You are a lost soul…
Try fresh baked bread right out of the oven. I swear whenever my bread machine finishes, I get through the first third of the loaf within the first half hour and then take most of the week to finish the rest.
I’ve been trying real hard not to spend money on a bread machine.
Don’t do it. Those machines are the devil. Tempting you with the smells and tastes of some of the best bread ……. For me, I think it was close to a year before there was ever any bread left to put away, and my waistline showed it. I did have help, but ……
The tradition was to start a loaf after dinner every Friday and Saturday. Then id start video games with my teens, until the machine beeped around midnight. Perfect gaming break!
I got my first bread machine second-hand on eBay, for a fraction of the price of a new one. When that gave up the ghost I found a replacement machine even cheaper in a charity shop. It’s the sort of thing people buy or are given, and it ends up shoved in a cupboard. They are sold on cheaply, often hardly used.
I make a simple wholemeal loaf every week: bread flour, yeast, a little fat (oil or butter), a little salt. I leave it to bake overnight and wake to a wonderful smell. It’s better bread than supermarket stuff and works out cheaper, even using premium flours. I’m too lazy to go through all the kneading, proving etc; having a machine do it for me is perfect.
From someone who eats almost no bread anymore:
It’s the bread.
You’re not going to sit and eat a spoonful of jelly like a fucking goblin, but you might eat a piece of plain bread and be happy about it. Especially if it’s a perfectly cooked dinner roll.
You’re not going to sit and eat a spoonful of jelly like a fucking goblin
Yes I fucking will. I mean it. I do. It’s delicious.
you’re not gonna eat a spoonful of jelly
Speak for yourself mangohead
Down with the tyranny of delicious sweet things being spread on salty bread which ruins their taste. I eat jams and Nutella like they’re a dessert.
Bread is a conveyor of butter.
Bread, pasta, tortillas, chips, rice, etc. They are all just vehicles for sauce.
cries celiacly
God gave us grain but not bread so that we, too, could indulge in the joy of creation.
“A man cannot live on bread alone
But nor can he live without it”
–That one shopkeep in Kingdom Come: DeliveranceReading “anti crab” propaganda made me think extra.
Did… Did they just make a “pee is stored in the balls” reference?
But im allergic to gluten :(
I’ll eat a slice for you friend 😭
Gluten-free bread exists
Gluten free bread lacks any of the pleasant qualities of actual bread (my gluten allergy is “makes you have the shits” and not “kills you”)
You can get good biscuits and cake without gluten. Good cereal. Passable pasta. Even decent pizza crust.
Not bread. Not by a long shot. The best gluten free bread in the world is just decent at its best, not to mention costing 15x the price. REALLY not worth it.
Bread is still one of those real old school basic foods, that comes with a decent somewhat similar old school basic price.
I don’t care if it’s good or bad, i want to have some money left at the end of the month instead of having month left at the end of your money.
In 1900 the average French person was eating 900g of bread per day.
I’m working on it to reach this level again.
Yeah but that factory white bread in the supermarket is literally the devil. How else can it stay good for so long?
Factory white bread is just misunderstood. It’s not meant for anything fancy, it’s designed for PBnJ or a quick bologna sandwich. If you’re putting more than a slice of cheese and ultra processed meat slurry on it, you’re misusing it.
That is because it is not bread. It is simply a bread-like edible substance.
For thousands of years the peak of life has been eating fresh bread and drinking wine, it still is tbh. For maximum luxery add fresh cooked meat to the bread :3
And CHEESE !
Bread is best as a butter or cheese delivery vehicle.
No matter how you slice it, only the upper crust of bread society can cut it as a standalone food.
Simple: I’m a carb based life form.
