how did bread become such a lynchpin of our diet? the cornerstone, even. not a day passes without some bread. it's enough to make you learn how to spell 'conspiracy'. are there any histories of bread? any anti-bread movements? there was a bread week. enough to make you learn how to spell 'strategies'. bloody bread.

give up bread.

Don't even get me started on fucking bread.

Vietnam's the place, where they wrap stuff in lettuce leaves instead.

I've got one of those fancy-schmancy bread-making machine thingies. You just throw all the ingredients in it before you go to bed, and when you wake up next morning there is a freshly baked still-warm loaf of your favourite bread waiting for you as if by magic. Waking up to the smell of freshly baked bread is wonderful, especially on lazy Sunday mornings for breakfast in bed heavenliness.

― C J (C J), Sunday, 2 May 2004 09:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh wow - I didn't knwo break making machines were that cool! Right, fresh bread machine is on my birthday list. Which one do you have, CJ?

― Johnney B (Johnney B), Sunday, 2 May 2004 10:17 (twenty-one years ago)

any anti-bread movements?

is there really no atkins craze over there?

― g--ff (gcannon), Sunday, 2 May 2004 10:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Mine's a Panasonic, Johnney, but they're all much of a muchness I think. Look for one which has a quick-cook facility (which mixes, kneads and bakes a 1lb loaf in about an hour) because that's always handy, and the time delay function is important (so you can set it to bake the bread ready for when you wake up) but other than that I don't think any particular model is better than any other.

They're so easy to use and the results so great, that you'll never want to buy shop bought bread again.

Yesterday I baked a loaf of wholemeal/multigrain bread for this morning's toast, and it tastes divine.

― C J (C J), Sunday, 2 May 2004 11:04 (twenty-one years ago)

God, I hate bread. The only reason for it to exist is to stop the sarnie fillings from falling out, and even that is pretty spurious. Ugh.

― Super-Kate (kate), Sunday, 2 May 2004 11:55 (twenty-one years ago)

how did bread become such a lynchpin of our diet?

Easy to produce, doesn't go bad fast, requires few ingredients, can be made out of several different plants, the crops can be cultivated all over the world, even here back in the north. Need any more reasons?

french stick/baton
square sliced - white or brown (for toast only)
split tin loaf
naan bread (mmmmm kulcha)

i can't believe all this bread hating!

some of my favorites: focaccia, baguettes, banana bread, everything sold in the states as "rustic" or "farm" bread, russian dark break, lemon-poppy muffins . . .

it's just the fluffy, pre-packaged stuff that give bread a bad name.

Bread is fucking great. I sometimes wish that I could have sandwiches for every meal.

Also, do not forget that in dissing bread you also diss pizza.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Sunday, 2 May 2004 15:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, but the thinner the crust (the less bread) the better the pizza!

I prefer baguettes to loafy bread. And muffins are more like cake, so they're OK.

I do not like bread. As far as I'm concerned, it's like eating wood. It's just not food. It's some strange substance for dipping in soup.

(The only exception to this is Tomcat Bread, for which I would walk all the way to Queens.)

― Super-Kate (kate), Sunday, 2 May 2004 16:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Ever done bread-fisting? It's quite wasteful and indulgent but once you get a fresh loaf home, microwave it ten secs, cut it in half, claw a hot fleshy handful of breadgutts out and chew like a pimp, forget that shell you don't need that shell. Washing hands in olive oil and garlic puree prior to clawing - that's a thought, though I haven't tried.

― LC, Monday, 3 May 2004 08:57 (twenty-one years ago)

People who are wheat-intolerant don't like bread, and the other-grain substitutes can really be teh suck. Unless they're some kind of tortilla.

However I am not one of these people and therefore love bagels from the place on Leather Lane, baguettes, Italian bread from the shop next door (Casareccio, sliced) and the lovely, nutty multigrain with sunflower seeds on the crust that makes the best holdall for an egg mayonnaise sandwich.

My mom has a bread machine and the loaves come out that little bit weird.

― suzy (suzy), Monday, 3 May 2004 08:59 (twenty-one years ago)

When somebody designs a breadmaker that makes proper sized loaves, I will buy it like a shot. There's something very satisfying about doing your own kneeding, but you can't be in a rush.

― LC, Monday, 3 May 2004 09:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Madchen: proper SHAPED loaves'd be even better, they always get made upright?! That seems wrong somehow. I want my loaf HORIZONTAL.

I love bread. Fresh white bread. Oh I know its bad for me but poo to that. Mega fresh white bread spread thickly with peanut butter, or with butter and vegemite... mmmmm.

er, was actually responding to this upthread:

When somebody designs a breadmaker that makes proper sized loaves, I will buy it like a shot. ...-- Madchen May 3rd, 2004.

Madchen: proper SHAPED loaves'd be even better, they always get made upright?! That seems wrong somehow. I want my loaf HORIZONTAL....

So the loaves in mine come out shaped like regular bread that has risen in a bread pan, rather than a vertically-oriented column of it where the top bit is actually the end bit. Handier for sandwiches. I like baking bread by hand too but it involves a big mess (at least when I'm kneading) and lots more time and fiddling. Someday I'll do it again, but the MACHINE is so seductively easy.

three years pass...

Is it just me or has sliced bread gotten worse and worse over the years? Was it just that when I was a kid I was perfectly happy with Rainbo and Wonder Bread and now that my tastes have matured I'm dissatisfied with everything? Wheat breads really piss me off though. Lately every fucking loaf of Orowheat I buy has plasticy-tasting seeds and shit in it, it's like biting into little capsules of misery. All wheat breads seem to rely on high fructose corn syrup as well. WHY? "organic" breads are more irritating because they turn into a moldy mess two days after you buy them, unless you keep them in the refrigerator, where they get hard and awful. About the only packaged sliced bread I can stand now is Orowheat's Country French.

Sorry I know this is not very interesting but I'm really baffled as to why bread sucks so much now.
