Tiggum posted:"Brown bread" obviously means something different here to the definition I'm used to, which is just wholemeal bread. Is this an American thing, or a 100 years ago thing or what? And what does "brown bread" actually refer to here? Rye bread? Does "white bread" mean any wheat bread, whether it's made of wholemeal or white flour? This was during World War I. Woodrow Wilson was the US President, but he appointed Herbert Hoover as head of the Food Administration. To ensure that the troops had sufficient rations, Hoover introduced Meatless Mondays and Wheatless Wednesdays. People were expected to abstain from wheat on Wednesdays, and you made your bread from barley or oats or rice or rye. People mostly didn't like them because they're stronger flavored and they don't rise or stick together like wheat dough, so the bread is dense and crumbly. I still have my great-grandma's recipes for those. The barley and oat bread isn't bad, but the others, eww. Not to go too much into historical derails, but Jingo True must've loved The Sedition Act of 1918.. It basically made it illegal to criticize the war effort or the government. Yeah. Not one of our better moments, but a lot of excuses for True to thump people.

Only the crust should be slightly crumbly and even that gets more solid after it cools down some. It is significantly denser than that white fluffy thing that you americanos call bread though. Healthier too. Of course, it could be your recipe is just straight up hosed. After a quick look through, this seems more or less right.

Most good rye bread is half rye flour and half wheat, including the one you linked. That wouldn't have worked for Mr. Hoover. I'll agree that good rye bread is the best thing on the planet though, and I'd thump even Everett True if he said different.

There are Caribou Coffee shops around Washington, D.C. too. There is no way that this Ham Shears bit is anything but a dog on Mary Worth after Santa Mesa was revealed as the town name.

Laputanmachine posted:gently caress you, freshly baked rye bread is the most delicious thing. His Divine Shadow posted:Came to post this. Great, told to gently caress off by two people who didn't read or understand the effing original post. Last I'm going to say about it: the brown bread that the guy in the Everett True panel doesn't want isn't the luscious stuff you love. The rye bread in my great gran's 1918 Hoovered recipe isn't the luscious stuff you love, and she didn't love it either - it wasn't how she or anybody else would choose to make it if the government hadn't gotten in the way. That's the drat point. On Wheatless Wednesdays, the brown bread that people could have if they were "patriotic" didn't contain any of the ingredients that make the bread taste good. The guy doesn't want the bad bread. True smacks him for it because he's a jingoistic tool. At this point in 1918, Everett True is no longer Everyman. He's a straight-up political mouthpiece, and not only that, he's propagandizing the direct edicts of the Wilson administration in the most vulgar way possible. Sorry, but it's "True." If Somethingawful were back then we'd all be bitching that Everett True belonged in the political cartoons thread.

TofuDiva posted:Uh, my Gigi's receipt is from 1918? And it's 100% rye flour, wild yeast and water, like most everybody's back then, cuz she was immigrant-working class poor? Most good rye bread is half rye flour and half wheat, including the one you linked. That wouldn't have worked for Mr. Hoover. To expand on this: people were discouraged from using wheat flour entirely for Wheatless Wednesdays. Instead, they were encouraged to use rice, rye, barley, oat, corn, and potato flours. Check out Mary Elizabeth's War Time Recipes to see what TofuDiva is talking about. Not a single recipe contains wheat flour, which as a baker, I can tell you: it's not going to be very good. At the very least, the texture of 100% rye or rice flour bread is going to be very unpleasant--dense, crumbly, flat. Even the ones that mix flours aren't going to be as good as a recipe with a little bit of wheat flour. Hence the guy complaining that he doesn't want "brown bread." Wheat flour has more gluten than any other flour, gluten being the protein that gives baked goods their structure. Breads made without wheat flour (specifically, non-whole wheat flour) will be flat, dense, crumbly, etc. They will also take longer to ferment, and be harder to digest--something no one would be eager to eat. Modern bread recipes contain at least some wheat flour; most breads made in factories and bakeries also contain extra wheat gluten, especially rye bread. I work in a grocery store bakery, and I've worked in a couple small artisan bakeries: they all use wheat gluten as well as wheat flour. The stuff we eat now is far, far removed from what people were making/eating during WWI for Wheatless Wednesday. Speaking of Everett True, my new favorite webcomic, Octopus Pie, made this little one-off that I love immensely:  Okay, and now a comic. Rhymes With Orange
