It's been some years since I was in the US, so maybe it's not as bad as it was, but the hidden sugar in bread was the one that always astonished. US bread tastes, to me, more like cake and frankly ruins the chance of a good sandwich.
- maxerickson 10y agoIt depends on which bread you buy. The lightest sandwich breads that are made in regional commercial bakeries tend to have quite a bit of sugar. The bread from the store bakery might not have any. Bread from fancier bakeries will depend on what style of bread it is.
- _greim_ 10y agoI wonder if it's a situation in which parents struggling to get kids to just eat your damn food have created market forces that have gradually pushed mainstream bread to suit the preferences of children. We parents (at least in the US) often compromise on food for the sake of our kids, and it seems plausible that collectively we've unconsciously adapted our preferences to match our children, and so lost our taste for truly wholesome bread.
