I must disagree on this one. I find German bread on average better than what I managed to get over in France. Although only very, very few bakeries do their own bread and bread rolls from scratch these days, the quality is quite good and even across bakeries.
Between that and Thüringer Mett I'm practically certain I wouldn't move anywhere I can't get both of these in the morning (1st stop: butcher, 2nd stop: bakery).
- scrollaway 8y agoFrench bread has a lot more varieties to it in general -- if there's a kind of bread you like, you might find it in France under a different name (eg Campagnard). What kind of german bread are you thinking about? Most of the german rye breads are absolutely appalling to my palate. But you know what they say about taste :)
- blattimwind 8y agoWhen it comes to loafs of bread, my favourite is proper grey bread (which seems to be a lot less popular in the east and is somehow different, less sour in the south), a mixture between white and rye bread. For bread rolls, I usually go with plain white or white with poppy or white with white-sesame. I'm a simple man.
- chopin 8y agoUnfortunately it has become very hard to buy a good sour-dough bread in Germany, even in rural areas. I resorted to baking my own which is far superior to the ones one can commonly buy. Strangely, even small bakeries (outside super-markets) tend to make poor industrial-like bread (with some exemptions).
