So you're suggesting that a main feature of US food culture is shit bread?

  > So you’re suggesting that a main feature of US food culture is shit bread? I don’t know if GP was suggesting it, but it absolutely unironically is. At least from the perspective of anyone who thinks of bread as a standalone element; bread as a neutral canvas for other elements is fairly central to, at least, many of the distinct American food cultures.

    Sure, but then you can take exactly the same ingredients but swap out the bad bread for an artisanal bread and the result will taste much better.
