    I’m confused about the single full stop. It shows they have knowledge of basic punctuation, but refuse to use it.

      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.

          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.

      The darkest bread there is, is usually bread that is articifially dark. Here in the Netherlands we have bread colored as chocolate, that would actually be white but is made to look dark so people think it’s healthier.

    In 1900 the average French person was eating 900g of bread per day.

    I’m working on it to reach this level again.

    I like how in the menu the chef is like – and I’m paraphrasing of course – you assholes can’t have bread cuz you don’t deserve it.

    God gave us grain but not bread so that we, too, could indulge in the joy of creation.

    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

        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.

          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.

      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.

          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.

        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.
