The article does seem to have forgotten completely about the existence of modern wholemeal bread. I understand that people do buy white bread, but I can't for the life of me understand why.
- nabla9 6y agoFor the same reasons people like everything sweet: more carbs less fibre.
- implements 6y agoFried food and brown bread doesn’t really work - though perhaps that’s a UK cultural thing.
- thehm 6y agoAs it mentions, there are many uses of plain white flour other than bread. > Flour can be engineered into a series of deeply likeable textures, from the softness of sponge cake to the crispness of a cracker to the custardy satisfaction of a Yorkshire pudding.
- TeMPOraL 6y ago> I understand that people do buy white bread, but I can't for the life of me understand why. I have the opposite view: who on Earth eats wholemeal bread and why would they subject themselves to that, when there's perfectly good and tasty white bread available?

- 082349872349872 6y agoZopf/tresse (with almonds) is the white bread we buy.
- stronglikedan 6y agoI prefer white bread because the pleasant but mild flavor compliments most things without being overpowering. I only use non-white breads that compliment the flavors of what I'm topping it with, such as a Reuben sandwich. I couldn't imagine a PB&J, tuna/chicken salad, or cold meatloaf sandwich on anything other than white (and believe me, I've tried).
- natmaka 6y agoSome believe that removing the grain's bran/germ (while refining, in order to produce white flour), also removes some/most chemical compounds used by industrial agriculture (pesticides...). This leads to organic whole flour, which is expensive.
