Comment on Best meal ever
BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 1 month agoAs an USAmerican. The absolute travesty that we sell in the grocery store is one of the worst crimes against humanity.
I want to live in world where we’re all walking distance from a bakery that makes real bread daily.
do your grocery stores not all have bakeries in house, too?
like, I get that Walmart and the like can price out local bakeries, and then sell you shit “fresh” bread instead once they’ve forced the local small businesses to close. but it’s better than the stuff that never moulds, yeah?
Walmart baked in house bread is close to the never molds variety. Defending it would be like defending Subways “fresh baked bread” which isn’t even legally allowed to be called bread in certain European countries. At one point they were caught putting the stuff in foam yoga mats in their bread.
In my opinion, that “bread” is a very distant cousins of homemade sourdough spelt (or whatever locally sourced whole grains was available) which was made cross culturally for millennium and is still available in select locations.
Super Walmarts and Neighborhood Markets actually have bakeries and make real bread, too.

Yeah, I’m also from the US and my grocery store sells pretty solid breads. I also have solid French and Italian bakeries walking distance from my house. I also live in the suburbs.
Some people only have Dollar General.
US very big and very varied. So I’m from Jersey, if that helps, because I think it’s important to be specific. We have great bread, great bagels, great pizza and for this I am very thankful.
