I'm not sure what this has to do with Denmark then?? The only white bread but mostly air I can think of is definitely not weight loss material.

Because it's called "Danish bread" here, I dunno why that's used to identify really lovely white bread that's mostly air but that's what it's usually called, Danish, and usually as a low calorie alternative to normal bread.

It looks like this but less appetizing and is sold like this:





It basically disintegrates when you pick it up and tastes like poo poo.

It might just be something that Warburtons specifically made up in like the 70s because it sounded good. Much like Greene King IPA is not that.

I see. Yeah, we got something like that in Denmark, but I'd be lying if I said I ever saw anyone buying it nowadays. It looks like a cheap factory version of what we call "French Bread", but that's definitely not supposed to be a low calorie alternative.

As for accents, Essex is the worst imo. Might be because i work in a call centre and Essex callers are always loving cunts.

Jordies have the best accent though. Because they pronounce the language properly I mean.

Germans are well proud of their bread, with good reason: each region has its own characteristic style of bread - good, hearty food, great stuff with some meat and cheese. I had so many conversations out there where random strangers would feel the need to take the piss out of British bread.

Easily rebutted by asking what the gently caress else makes a half decent bacon-egg sarnie, to which they'd say yeah, fair point.

The bread menace

They opened a wholesale warehouse in Plymouth and my fiancee and I visited on a whim, I walked out with a box each of thirty two 50g Walkers packets (the big ones that usually go for a quid now), the best Walkers flavours of Smoky Bacon and Worcester Sauce, £6 each - it's been 4 days and I still have over half left and I'm giving the things away

incidentally did you know that an important ingredient of Worcester Sauce is fermented anchovies? cause I very much did not and it increases the number of good things anchovies are involved with to one

e: plus, who can knock caesar dressing (or most other things involving anchovies)
e2: and in case you're not familiar with scotch woodcock - it isn't just the anchovies on top, it's the anchovy paste spread all over the buttery toast that makes it. It's also good stuff in cottage pies, gravies, stews, whatever. A teaspoon of anchovy paste is God's own RDA of sodium.

And pizza, where anchovy is an essential ingredient. You just can't get the salty, oily goodness that makes a truly excellent pizza without it.

If you're eating pizza which isn't salty then you may want to put some cheese on it.

Worcester sauce afaik is fairly close to Garum so that's entirely sensible that it should be made of fermented fish.

I wish I liked anchovies but they're just too salty for my taste, can't manage soy sauce either, way too salty.

Nah nothing that far back, there's lots of theories but it's probably a nickname for George that got associated with pitmen and the region in general.

That's the reason judges would wear a black cloth over their heads when passing sentence of death, so God couldn't see them doing something that was supposed to be reserved to him. Why only the death sentence, and why the inch of horsehair already on their head wasn't an effective omnipotence-denial shield, and why the big man wouldn't also be pissed off with them wearing silk stockings and robes with cloth trousers, I have no idea.
