The American preference for white bread continues to astound me. Pimentos, cheese, and mayonnaise would be better on literally any other bread.

- ProAm 6y agoAll bread is gross.
- dsr_ 6y agoMatters of taste are not debatable: they just exist. There are many gradations of white sandwich bread, though. There is little beneath Wonder Bread, but that space does exist. Above it: some store brands, Pepperidge Farm, and then some ways up, Arnold's Country White (which is itself at the bottom of Arnold's pale offerings: the Italian is a nice step up, and then their Sourdough, while not holding a candle to a fresh-baked loaf from any reasonable establishment, exceeds that by far). Other parts of the US may have their own challengers at any step of the ladder.
- cheschire 6y agoIf matters of taste are not debatable then why do people do it about art?
- dsr_ 6y agoThey don't debate art, they discuss it.
- jessaustin 6y agoI'm not familiar with Arnold or his various bread varieties, but sourdough is certainly not what I mean when I say "white bread". Neither is French bread, nor challah, nor any other reasonably flavorful bread made with white flour. The sandwiches under discussion are made with Wonder Bread or something much like it. It is that questionable taste that astounds me.
- tingletech 6y agoHave you ever had one? It works on these as well if not better than the little cucumber sandwiches at a high tea.
