I have found that Bread is a distinctly European obsession. My American partner just doesn’t get it, nor do my Asian and African friends.
It’s so satisfying to have a giant sandwich with meat veg and cheese or indeed just bread fresh from the oven dripping with butter. It’s the most versatile thing imaginable and it’s made from fucking grass!
Jesus Christ I fucking love bread!
Idk about Africa but Asians fucking love bread. Have you ever been to an Asian bakery? Oh the glorious carbs…
Ok like Indians make a lot of bread, but it tends to be various types of flat bread. Don’t get me wrong I’ll demolish a peshwari naan in about 3.76 seconds but it’s not as versatile as a good crusty loaf.
Americans will understand if you use a more specific word for the type of bread, instead of just “bread”, as that makes them think of prepackaged sliced bread.
Mate, it doesn’t matter what form the bread takes. It’s the concept of bread which is divine.
Classic eurobrain right here.
A staple food for basically every civizilization on the planet is “distinctly european”.
I’m not saying other cultures don’t have bread, that’d be fucking r*****d. I’m saying that bread is not as integral a part of other cultures.
Which also is a pretty dumb thing to say.
You just have the wrong Asian friend. You ever have pineapple bun? No it doesn’t have pineapple.
Most of the time it comes with nothing inside it. The crust itself is the tastiest thing, but there are variations, like a big slice of butter, or embedded red bean paste.
it’s made from fucking grass!
I started making my own sourdough bread during COVID because for a while there they didn’t have bread or yeast at the grocery stores. I love the fact that the ingredients are just flour, water, salt and starter (which itself is just flour and water and the yeastie beasties). The yeast all dies during cooking and the water is essentially cooked out of it, so sourdough bread is really just flour altered into a really funky form with a bit of salt. I like the added thought that even the flour is just ground-up grass.
asia loves bread lol, ever heard of bao buns/dumplings/shokupan?
Stop. Fucking. Grass. To. Make. Bread.
Whole wheat? No, wheat hole.
Oh fuck breadOh I’m pitching a tent now!
That’s a bread dragon
French? Have you heard about german bread?
Is that Teto Kasane?
no, its bread
Oh thanks, I never realized.
Bhhaaa the French
Champagne has alwaysbeenknownforitsexcellence
For anyone who doesn’t get the reference search "Orson Welles Wine Commercial " on YouTube.
As a French dude from North of France myself I can only say that Champagne is totally overrated. It’s basically white wine that is bottled with a spoon of cane sugar syrup and then fermented again. I’d rather drink red wine, or cider when I’m in the mood for bubbles (I fucking love cider). And of course, beer.
Now regarding the post, I fucking love bread too.
Is the Champagne (Protected Designation of Origin) from the particular region of Champagne better than generic Champagne from other regions?
In the end it’s a matter of taste but I personally prefer true Champagne Brut and Extra Brut as they offer a more dry mineral flavor, compared to other Champagne like beverages.
But as a French I think it’s really important to respect the idea of “terroir”. I’m Ok with using champagnisation process to create Champagne like beverages, but Champagne is Champagne, from the French region of Champagne.
Now, is it overpriced? Absolutely.
