- herbst 4y agoItaly is not exactly famous for bread, and France more or less only for baguette and sweet bakery. Austria and Germany are big into the bread game. With slightly different bread cultures. Switzerland too to some degree. You'll find a German bakery in nearly any major city for a reason.
- detritus 4y agoI don't think I've ever seen a German bakery anywhere, and not here in London. French, Polish and Italian bakers, yes. I know too that Poles go on ceaeslessly about how wonderful their neutronic matter rye bread is, despite it filling me with abject horror. Horses for courses, I guess - but I've certainly no association with 'central Europe' and world-leading bread.
- herbst 4y agoInteresting. Even in Bangkok premium bread had a German flag on it. But who knows. Cultures portrait in other cultures is a complex topic. By the way, I initially only stated that people here think it's the central of bread. I really only know a bit of how other places see things.
- omnimus 4y agoCertainly not in europe. I’ve never heard about German bakery. Italians on the other hand are as big masters of bread as French. Ever heard of Focaccia? Ciabatta? Pizza?!
