Europe has plenty of industrial bread products that do not taste anywhere near as sweet as US bread. It was something that really threw me when I arrived here, that if I went to a supermarket and bought any old loaf of bread it would taste distinctly sweet. Just a matter of taste, and as others have pointed out it's not difficult to get a non-sweet loaf (sourdough, etc) it's just not the standard.
- burmanm 6y agoSaying bread tastes like something in Europe is simply weird. Each European country has their own bread types usually and they have next to nothing in common. For example, while rye bread might taste sweet, it's not because of added sugar (for example, only certain types of Finnish rye breads have syrup added to them, but most do not). The sweetness comes naturally from the rye when it's processed for enough long time. Just like the sourness.
