Random Rants 0x52: [Obligatory rant about title]

[Synobun]

Sour is an awful taste profile for food.

I hate wonder bread.

What's wonder bread? Is it like wonder woman only in bread form?

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

It's a cheap brand of bread in North America.

Also, I don't know how that posted three times.

 

[Snerk]

I figured you just felt really strongly about it.

Sour is an awful taste profile for food.

Sour bread is delicious though.

What's wonder bread? Is it like wonder woman only in bread form?

White bread ... yech.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

I mostly hate wonder bread because of the texture. Compared to other white breads, it's just kind of...I can't think of the word, sorry.

Sour bread is delicious though.

It also keeps better and is good for your digestive system.

So I take it that north america has figured out bread then? UK/AU/NZ has very much not. Their breads are all terrible. Spongy tasteless matter than is an insult to real bread.

In Nova Scotia, there's some local bakeries that know what they're doing. I like to wait till they are on sale and then get some and freeze them in the freezer.

I think CFC glitched when I was posting it. I'm not about to go all over and post "I like video games" a dozen times in different threads again.

Bakery bread is obviously the best but it goes bad after like three days. Wonder bread can survive a fungal plague and come out the other side weeks later just fine.

I find Sara Lee to be much better (I really like their 100% whole wheat bread) ... it's still soft, and keeps well like you say, but it's not bleached and doesn't taste terrible.

You also can double or triple your bakery bread shelf life by keeping it in your refrigerator.

I don't know if you tried this, but look for some bread clips. (I use ones that look like this. Except I paid $3 for them at Dollarama instead of $50 ) Although I mostly got them for accessibility reasons as I have trouble getting the regular bread tags on and off, they seem to help with freshness a bit too.

 

[Snerk]

I always refrigerate bread. I hear some people say it makes it dry but I think it keeps fine.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

People don't refrigerate bread?

 

[Lexicus]

Did they give a reason why?

"Organizational restructuring"

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

That often means "money."

 

[Farm Boy]

Nope. Bread outside of fridge, butter outside of fridge.

Wonderbread is "airy." It's mostly air, it's really cheap. At a certain point, you're getting what you pay for for. Sourdough and rye are amazing, but easily triple to like seven times the cost.
