    And all those regional European delicacies are a disgrace to cooking. I love food, but those pickled-shrew-taint type things are disgusting.

    I was commenting on the hypocrisy of you calling what is just a plain soft sweet bread disgusting, while all these European countries get a pass on their regional abominations of food culture.

    I know that plain white bread is not great, but it’s basically just a really boring cake. The ire is unreasonable.

        Like what?

        I’ll grant you they’re not artisanal breads with handpicked ingredients - but not all brands load up on nasty preservatives, and people make white bread themselves, too.

            Right. Literally like I said earlier - it’s just a boring cake.

            I didn’t realize that Europe considered cake to be such a terrible thing

                Only in the sense that people eat it more than you’d typically eat cake - id agree with that.

                But I don’t really see why it’s bad inherently

                    So… The thing I just said?

                    I’m not gonna disagree that Americans have unhealthy eating habits. But the bread itself isn’t the issue, imo.
