Being german specifically, I am not allowed to enter this conversation for my mental health.

I wanna know who the balls started the rumor that there's no good bread in America. Like I've seen a surprising number of Europeans leave comments on TikTok where they claim that there's nowhere to buy fresh baked bread in the US or that the bread that's available here has so much sugar that it would be considered cake everywhere else in the world. Like I get that people think the food in America is dogshit for a variety of well know reasons (also not true but that's a separate convo) but how did the bread thing in particular start like it's way too specific

#but boy howdy do i have thoughts #thoughts that only my dear online friends get to be subjected to so we can actually end the conversation when needed #once i was staying at my grandmas place but she had gone out with my cousin #so during a video call with a US friend I angrily marched into the kitchen to hold up actual bread and gesture to its crust #while giving an expletive-filled explanation of what was wrong with the object she called bread #turns out my grandma and cousin were in fact already back and sitting in the living room #when i explained why I was ranting about “proper fucking bread” my grandma simply nodded and said “yes what they have over there isnt bread #i was still quite mortified #almost as mortified as i am by american “bread” ayooo #also forever haunted by the time i specifically ordered mac and cheese from the US and saw that the pasta alone had SEVEN (7) ingredients #dry pasta has one (1) ingredient unless youre one of the folks who likes the egg based kind in which case it has two (2)#you guys gotta regulate your food industry fr fr #ramble #german stuff #at least tangentially
