Don't be disingenuous. We're talking about sugar as an actual ingredient, not any natural sugar which might exist within the other ingredients.

Right, because if we talk your way we can be prissy little euro-twits who can pretend there's no sugar as we lie to ourselves. Come off it, clown.

I ask this as politely as possible, but are you suffering from some kind of reading comprehension issue?

Because we constantly get these slapfights where you mischaracterize something someone else writes in the most hostile way possible.

Fishmech please stop badposting, the point isn't whether :fishmech:there are actually more carbohydrate calories in the starch part than the added sugar part:fishmech:, it's that US style bread tastes sweet which is bad and unbready.

I thought adding a little sugar to bread dough feeds the yeast and doesn't really flavor the finished product? I generally only eat sourdough bread and occasionally rye, so I don't get the USA BREAD IS CAKE thing, although that cheap white Wonderbread poo poo is truly awful.

Depends a lot on what yeast you're using in what dough, but generally the yeast will feed on the sugar content of the starch in the flour. You can add a little sugar/potato if you want to help the process along, but too much will dry out the dough and limit the growth of the yeast.

I don't think it's that hard to find decent bread in the US; most grocery stores have a bakery department of some sort and the shorter shelf life means there's always a loaf on sale if you're willing to eat it quickly. I know a lot of people will get the mass produced stuff to keep in the pantry for quick meals, and then buy a loaf of bakery stuff a few times a month to go with dinner that'll get eaten in a day or two.

Is it sourdough, wholemeal and has to actually be chewed instead of melting away like cotton candy? If that's not an option then your bread isn't actually decent :colbert:

That reminds me, does anyone else run into the problem of grocery store bakeries selling sliced, under-baked bread? Like, the bottoms are mostly white but the tops are Golden brown?

I've run into under-baked sandwhich bread with the orida wide loaves too, but much less severe.

Yeah that's not true though? Again unless you choose to only compare European rock bread that's barely fit for an unfavorable mule to the cheapest possible garbage white you can find in the US.

I'm having a good faith discussion, yall are spasming over 0.001% higher sugar content across all breads meaning everything is now cake because you once bought knockoff wonder bread at a supermarket outside Orlando.

This is absolutely a thing. From WW2 to the late 90's, mixed-use developments weren't really a thing. They're only really starting to come back in a lot of places as people gentrify old downtowns.

Mixed use developments are extremely good and I love them. I would suspect that is these were more common, the convenience factor of purchasing a thing would far outweigh that of purchasing from Amazon, provided the price difference isn’t too different.

You must have not been paying attention to Brexit, where a ban on bendy bananas featured prominently in the argument for EU overreach:

[url posted:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6481969.stm[/url]]As Commission Regulation (EC) 2257/94 puts it, bananas must be "free from malformation or abnormal curvature". In the case of "Extra class" bananas, there is no wiggle room, but Class 1 bananas can have "slight defects of shape", and Class 2 bananas can have full-on "defects of shape".

No attempt is made to define "abnormal curvature" in the case of bananas, which must lead to lots of arguments. Contrast the case of cucumbers (Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1677/88), where Class I and "Extra class" cucumbers are allowed a bend of 10mm per 10cm of length. Class II cucumbers can bend twice as much.
You'll be shocked to learn that a ban on sales of bendy bananas never actually existed. The regulation is only about the standards required to be allowed to sell bananas of a certain class, so that when a supermarket orders bananas from an importer, they have an objective way of determining whether they got the quality of banana they paid for. If a supermarket wanted to be in the defective-shape banana business, there was nothing stopping them.

When I worked in a restaurant, the owner was there 15 hours most every day working his rear end off, and was involved in just about every aspect of the place. That may just be the difference between an independent, somewhat upscale place and a fast food franchise, but I'd wager the place would have been a lot less successful if he'd just sat at home wanking into spreadsheets

If one is asking employees or frankly any member of any organization to really go above and beyond, well they see everything one does and judge it when deciding if they will. But that's small unit leadership most managers know gently caress all about leadership.

I hated it when the owner came back into the kitchen.

The fucker would just sit there and stare at people while being in the way.

Commercial kitchens aren't roomy places to begin with, having some douche standing there with his hands on his hips between the line and the fridge didn't help.

I worked in a MacDonald’s in my youth also a supermac. Best, least stressful jobs I’ve ever had, with the nicest most diverse group of people. I often wonder what would have happened if I’d gone on to management rather than university. If they paid the living wage rather than minimum wage I would happily work in fast food again. :)
