As a German (Frankonian to be precise which even for Germany has an especially rich culture of bread) I find what Americans call "bread" quite gross. Most tastes are acquired and the low quality and culinary culture in regards to bread always astounds me when traveling anywhere outside Germany except Italy (they know how to make good white bread like Ciabatta) and maybe Indian naan and similar Asian variations, though that's something completely different to Western bread.
- foxyv 4y agoThe USA is kind of huge. It has hundreds of enclaves and micro-cultures that can make people a 100 miles away from each other, almost seem like they are from a different country. What Americans consider "Bread" is usually such a wide range of items that it makes my head spin. Most of it isn't even really bread in the classic sense. However, in some areas of the USA, you can get loaves of the richest, most amazing breads imaginable from any country or culture in the world. However, Americans usually don't buy their bread if they are serious about it because all the small town bakeries are out of business. They instead make it themselves.
