it's the same in Denmark... i MIGHT buy it to make actual toasts, but only if i cant get bread, from a bakery... beside that i eat rye bread, packed with sunflower seeds, daily...
@@spyro257 same in northern italy, but I know that in a lot of places in italy they use shitty as plastic wrapped bread. My ex always ate the average bread they have and it was goddamn digusting.
Apart from "toast bread", you can also buy pre-packaged bread in grocery stores in Europe. The difference: it still meets the specifications for bread from the baker, but is somewhat cheaper "thanks" to mass production.
Perhaps a small side note: the price of bread in France was fixed by the state until 1978. This also determined what a standard bread was. If the bread costs the same everywhere, then the consumer will buy what suits his taste and you can only make more sales if you make better bread. On the other hand, such an article prescribed by the state is not a magnet for investors. You can't just change any ingredient and you can't change the price. Only then was the price released, but by then the traditional bread was already so deeply rooted in everyday life that it could not simply be replaced. In Germany, for example, there is a similar bread culture, but it is massively endangered because mass products and cheap dough pieces from low-wage countries are flooding the market. We are also losing our traditional, dark rye bread because it is more expensive than the imported mass-produced goods. This bread is still much better than the "foam bread" in the US, but it has deteriorated massively in the last 20 years.
I'm British and i was amazed when my American girlfriend told me bread there has butter and sugar in it. It's bread not cake lol. Just personally i don't tend to eat much bread and often go a few months without, then randomly get an urge for some form of meat sandwich, so buy some fresh rolls.
I travelled in the Asia Pacific region quite a lot for my work. I loved the french breads in Vietnam but missed sliced bread for morning toast so when I saw some sliced US bread I bought it. Next morning made toast, one bite and it went straight in the bin. It was sweet and had texture of a cheap cake. When I returned to NZ a dietitian friend told me that the US puts six times the sugar in their bread than we do. The sugar industry must have some pretty efficient lobbiests to have people eating this fiasco like it's real bread.
Nearly every grocery store in Germany has a bread slicing machine. You just have to put the bread in there, close the small door and press one button (thin,med or thick). That's because we have fresh baked bread and bread rolls in our stores. Grab whatever you want and slice it. Sometimes it's still warm and super soft. The taste is very, very similar to goods that come from a real, traditional bakery. But you can buy pre-sliced breat also, which is filled up in bags. It never tastes like fresh bread, but is still better than toast (we call it like that even if it's untoasted).
Nothing beats walking into a bakery in the morning and smelling the smell of freshly baked bread and rolls. And when you add the smell of freshly brewed coffee... OMG absolutely nothing can top that.
There's a bakery in the southern German village I visit that makes the most delicious breads I've ever tasted. Breakfast, which usually consists of freshly-baked pretzels, bread, cheeses and home made jams, is the highlight of the day. By comparison, food in the USA generally tends to be highly processed. Even fruit and vegetables are 'pampered', so it looks a lot better than it tastes.
We have sliced bread in the UK. Warburtons makes incredibly nice bread. Cant beat a freshly baked loaf though. I tried american bread once. It was like cake. Disturbed me that you can leave an american loaf opened for days and its still soft...
Warburton's have gone woke though, so I never eat their produce now. Tbh, I never eat sliced bread really. Bread, even the "good" stuff, even though moorishly tasty when fresh is not that healthy for you...unless it's all you can afford.
Warburtons don't make nice bread, they make shit sliced bread that is better than its competitors even more shit sliced bread. It makes decent toast and that's about it.

The answer is simple, baguettes are an institution in France. French people prefer to go to the bakery store and pay more than the Americans who do not care much. Markets are driven by demand. Btw there are a lot of "sliced bread" in french groceries stores. On the other hand, Americans are willing to pay a lot more for nice and especially BIG cars than French people. So you have very big cars but, we don't, because we care less about this kind of stuff. We value good bread, you value big cars. So we have good bread and you have big cars. it's all about arbitration and thus demand on the market, resulting in different supply.
I enjoy making my own bread. The only ingredients I use are flour, water and yeast. That's it, and that's all you need. Anything that includes butter and sugar, I would consider to be an enriched dough, which I would use for things like cinnamon buns or doughnuts.
To answer a question: YES, cancer rates ARE higher in the US... Plus obesity, hours off work due to illness and many other issues... FYI - Fun Fact (?): McNuggets sold in Canada were 'about' as salty as those in the U.S (but Canada is planning a major reduction of the salt content soon); while Australian, French and Kiwi nuggets had significantly less salt, but still NOT as little as in the U.K. - Additionally, the UK is decreasing both salt & sugar contents 'across the board' to most foodstuffs, which is now reducing costs to the General NHS / Dental NHS, reducing early illnesses, extending life, reducing tooth decay and improving health to all.
Agreed, we even have the Sugar Tax now where sugary drinks like Coca Cola (regular) will cost more than a Diet Coke to dissuade people from drinking it. "Officially called the Soft Drinks Industry Levy (SDIL), the tax puts a charge of 24p on drinks containing 8g of sugar per 100ml and 18p a litre on those with 5-8g of sugar per 100ml, directly payable by manufacturers to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC)." We'll see if it works.
If you want a bakery like the one described in the video, take a trip to the Detroit Metro area. I live in Eastpointe, a suburb on the border with Detroit and I have several like this near me. The Italian bakery is 1/2 mile away, the French one is a mile and half, and the Croatian bakery is a quarter mile away. The Croatian bakery alone has 25 varieties of bread -rye, pumpernickel, onion, asiago cheese, etc. In addition, I can go to two Polish bakeries in Hamtramck and two more in Sterling heights, both suburbs about six miles away, while I can go to about three Greek bakeries either downtown or in nearby suburbs (about a 30-minute drive). I can also by cheese like in Europe by going to our Eastern Market where one shop alone sells about 200 varieties.
In the supermarket I work in a fair bit of of bread is sliced. In the bakery bit it’s unsliced for most of the day and gets sliced mostly at the end of the day
Cancer rates can be a little misleading if one concentrates on one product because other factors can be added such as car truck fumes [soot] obesity as well as adatives of many other products.
Yep I remember seeing a video where bread sold in the EU has 1 gram of sugar whereas the same bread in the US has 6 grams. You do this across a big range of food and you can understand all the food poisoning the US has, overweight people and other health issues.
Of course we have factory made sliced bread in the UK- it's cheap, OK to eat, and lasts 4 or 5 days tops before it goes stale or green, but the nicest bread is always the freshly made stuff. A tiny bit more expensive, much more flavourful, and lasts 1 to 2 days before going stale. When I was in the US, my host made me a sandwich with 2 week old bread that was so sweet it could have been cake. Couldn't taste much beyond the sugar, but my goodness did that stuff bung me right up!
Where I used to live in in London, we had a fantastic Turkish place that used to make their bread on site. Gawd, it was delicious ! Plus fresh baklava and other fresh pastry treats. The smell was addictive .That shop is about the only thing I miss from London, after leaving 13 years back.
@@vanthspiritwalker- I have been to Italy three times in my life and live in a block of six flats, in North London. My neighbours next door and above me are 2 Italian guys, each with a Polish and a Japanese girlfriend. Also, very close is an exclusive Italian Deli (who has a very large Italian customer base - both domestic & commercial); so I will try to get or order to try. Grazie
I like making my own bread. It's pretty easy. Only 4 ingredients (flour, water, yeast, a little olive oil). I buy organic rye flour and bake it in an iron pot. It's great with soup. Not so great for sandwiches.
Sliced bread in Greece it's called tost bread. Psomi yia tost, or psomi tou tost. Toast or tost in Greek pronunciation isn't that slices you slather with butter in the morning. It's composed of mainly 2 slices of bread, and in between there's ham or turkey and gouda cheese or kaseri (local yellowish cheese). Basically toast is a sandwich. And that's not our regular bread. It's also at least 70% healthier and better for you than American sliced bread. It will hold up to a week max before molding. Also local bakeries often offer fresh sliced bread or have a slicer to slice your fresh bread and use that. There's 3 bakeries in each neighborhood. We go get bread that was make the very same morning. Sliced bread isn't what's used next to a meal, for breakfast or to deep in soft yokes. My favorite is whole wheat sourdough bread. Even to make sandwiches It's the best. It holds the longest through natural methods and you can freeze it and heat it up and it tastes good as fresh. Plus it's so crunchy and full of flavor when toasted. Food in America is so processed that im not sure you can even call it food anymore. That's why people love the food they eat in Greece. It's fresh!
I read some comment, and some people are just literally say - what’s the problem? Make your own bread - it’s easy ! What a good answer. Why I just didn’t think about it before:))
Is he being a bread snob? Yes, totally, that said a lot of American supermarket bread is too sweat and has an alarmingly long shelf life. I live in the UK and visit the USA often. The trouble is traditional French bread has virtually no shelf life, that is why there are so many bakeries, because you have to buy bread fresh every day. Think about it, if you want proper fresh French bread, that won’t break your teeth you have to go out and buy it before breakfast - every day. Would that work in a country the size of America? In the UK we can get mass produced sliced bread (with less than ½ the sugar and ½ the shelf life of similar American bread) as well as fresh baked bread of many kinds in supermarkets and we have local traditional and artisan bakeries. In the USA my friends and I have to search for it but you can get acceptable bread in most supermarkets. If Americans want better bread they can get it, and if enough people want it that kind of bread will become the norm.
you want good bread , buy a bread maker and make it yourself, dead easy, throw the ingredients in before you go to bed, set the timer, wake up in the morning to the smell of fresh baked bread, nothing better than a hot slice of fresh bread smothered in a really good butter for breakfast.
The thing is the demand, if in the US there are bakeries but people prefer to go and buy this toast bread in supermarkets, the laws would hardly change that.
I'm ONLY minutes into the video and am annoyed (angry, while agreeing with the premise). So, I really don't know if/what/might be is going to be mentioned. I have been to the US often, over many years and can say the basic bread you buy in shops is Sh1t - The proviso being: Unless you HAPPEN to go to a proper small town, family bakers, a farmers market or very expensive restaurant offering organic bread! I DO know that the salt content is SO MUCH higher in US loaves than in Europe/UK (approx 12% + higher - because the 'Rest of the World' have restrictions on ingredients). Recent tests found (especially) chicken dishes, pizzas, bread and even salads are loaded with far more salt in the USA - than ANY available in Europe or Australia. Then think about the SUGAR added to US drinks, cakes and similar foods... I'm in the UK, so 'the irony is strong' - maybe, just maybe (?) the food manufacturers are in the pockets of the 'US Health Care' (now that IS an oxymoron!) - Just saying !!! 😉🇬🇧
The UK don't put a load of crap in bread either. It gets delivered fresh to our supermarkets daily, sliced, or they make it themselves sliced or unsliced. Our local markets make their own bread, rolls and cakes.
home made bread flour water yeast (activated with sugar) and salt plus a lot of time mixing kneading proving super market bread well read the list of ingredients i once asked the supermarket bakery if i could buy some fresh yeast from them (what i am used to using) they said sorry we dont make our bread here we just defrost and heat it so that the smell can be sent to the front door
@@philiprice7875 The supermarket I work in makes it's own bread, just (we order yeast flour etc in bulk) but only the white and brown bread, the speciality bread comes in ready made. We do make hot x buns from scratch at Easter. They dont make as much as they used to. We will give yeast if someone asks. I am aware a lot of supermarkets dont, skilled workers are more expensive, butchers were among the first to go, if you can find a store that still has a fresh meat counter they are classed as meatcutters now, less wages.
In France we have thoses sliced bread , also if you have it at your home you better have a good reason before getting judged , its more expensive than traditional bread
Bread was actually made in Scotland before England and we sliced our Bread First in the world. That was so Children did not eat thick Bread. Women ate middle thickness and Men thick slices. Yes. Cancer and Cancer realted illnesses is huge in America as is Obesity and there are more People who are sterile. At the beginning, around 50 seconds, I thought you were going to cut back on the huge number of paused and long speaches. How wrong I was.
I love how you do your intros haha Here in the UK we have both bakeries and supermarket sliced bread. Bakeries can be expensive though but it makes sense since all their stuff is made fresh and they do have to compete with supermarkets where you can get very cheap bread which is a shame. When you mentioned about the wine and bread being in the same aisle I laughed because I was thinking the same thing haha Where I live, on the highstreet there used to be three bakeries now there is zero. Good video
Proper bread is what start to miss after a couple days visiting the US Sugar belongs in a cake or pie, not in bread, americans…. Us Germans have 3000 TYPES of bread
The main thing about the success of the styrofoam bread is laziness. In France you’ll go get your bread every day, so it’s fresh every day, and you are healthier every day not just because you’re eating something that is tasty and delicious with an enticing texture, but also because you valued it highly enough to get off your arse to get it. Just saying.
in Italy it is even better than in France. There are over 250 types of bread alone among those identified and every single small village has its own next to the best known.
Tbh, if I think about good bread France is not my first thought. It is even one of the first things mentioned by Americans visiting or moving to Germany. As for Cancer, I would say there is probably a reason why the top 4 clinics specialized in Cancer treatment are in the US.
cancer rates are actrually higher in the EU, but mainly because we smoke more and most population in general lives in cities dating back to the middle ages which causes more traffic, unlike americans which mainly live in the suburbs and get mnore or at least, less poluted air. I would also wage that most population currently living in the EU was exposed to some sort of radiation that leaked in chernobyl, I was a baby when that happen and lets face it, it reached every country in europe, so I reckon that could have long lasting effects in the general population.
Bread is so important. It appears that many in the USA don't care much about what they are eating. There are many others though, who have decided to grow their own food. There are many YT channels owned by homesteaders across the USA. 'Justin Rhodes' and 'Sow the Land' are my favourites.
it's not about the laws. While we have law that prohibit the use of some ingredients they can still make processed breads. It's the fact that people generally don't want to buy them. They know what a real bread tastes like and they will rather spend more money to get that satisfaction.
There are good preservatives and bad preservatives usually based on profit not goodness or genuine care for the customers health. Wholemeal contains more roughage .Wjte bread is stripped of its nutrients wholemeal is not. The E.U and Britain bans a numer of American food products because of what is considered ingredients that are not good for the health of the people. America could do the same which makes me wonder how far the profit motive is allowed to go.
The thing is, I kinda find the extremely soft bread boring. I like the crhuncyness on the outside and the softer inside, with a bread flavour, not a sugar and butter flavour. Idk how people prefere the boring monotone "cake bread" over the traditional intresting and unique bread.
I feel genuine concern for the people of America and the companies that put larger profits above the health of the people. Freedom of choice can be perverted just as Adolf Hitler perverted the freedom of speech along with Stalin .
Freedom is hypothesis, freedom is given by government to keep you in the limbo you are in, as long as you tow the line, believe the propaganda, allow the narrative to run and don't question anything. Yeah you are free. Governments and its satellites use the narrative democracy to keep you adhering to the line they want. There's more to it, but when thing happen ( wars, etc) mentally think about every situation going on, listen to all sides, make your own opinion, not the fake, or propaganda. And look towards why are these things happening, who benefits, and why no one talks about it, and if they do, they are conspiracy theorists, nuts or just not what the satellite companies want to promote the narrative. There's not much a few people can do tbh, we all die in the end, governments and their polices, propaganda change, and don't care about the few. Just like war, afterwards they move on, do they care, no. Then you ask are we free, they fought for our freedom, what about the ones who didn't come home, are they free?? They are in a way. Unfortunately freedom is tiny, being free is not what they want to be.
I just watched this today and whilst I agree with a lot of his points, I do feel he didn't have much that was positive to offer. Whilst it was well shot and everything, you'd be better watching the Adam Ragusea video he mentions as there are more facts and less emotions.
Might be just me but I've been watching you for maybe a couple of months now and I've always thought you reminded me of someone but could never put my finger on it. Finally, there was a click in my small brain and it's Danny Dyer. Watching your videos will now be less frustrating (at me, not you).
It boils down to one thing and that's money, the US is too capitalistic in that there is very little checks and balances on it on whether you should do something because you can. Then you've got the problem of the health care industry that actually profits on people getting sick and here is the kicker, the food industry doesn't want universal health care because they likely know that if the US got that, it would put a lot more pressure on the government to clean up it's act on food quality, in other words, fewer profits for the food industry, after all, when the burden of health care is on all, anyone that is sick, overweight and so on, becomes a burden on that system, so there's a big incentive for the government to improve the quality of living of the people in many areas, food being one of them. Basically, Americans have got a big struggle in getting real change in the US and mainly because they've let corporations get too powerful whiles weakening the government. In other countries like in Europe, we seem to like big governments that keep businesses in check and pull them into line if they go too far, basically, EU countries took capitalism but with many checks and balances, whiles adding a lot of social protection, the US on the other hand became a free for all to the highest bidder with more money and I suspect unless Americans wake up on that, it's only going to get worse in the coming decades and I think part of the biggest problem is that the government goes out of it's way to protect big business at the expense of medium and small business, which big business only care about profits and streamlining.
And there in a nutshell is why Americans, live on average, 2-4 years less than a lot of countries in the world. Check out videos of Americans who have lived in Europe and then move back to the US and how sick they get when they start eating American food again. It’s a real eye opener!
It's not just France, practicly all of Western Europa has better bread than the US: Netherlands, Belgium , Germany, you name it, even the sliced bread in supermarkets is better. And Paris the most bikeable city? he obviously never been in The Netherlands.
Yea I have tasted all of the bread (well not all but Danish, French and German espsecially)... the American bread is not bread for me.... I am not talking about how it is made but the taste is just horrible (sugar and sugar). and bread in France you can keep two days before it becomes dry (not from France here)... like HE said, it has been done for thousand of years. "bread" that can last for longer than a week is not bread. In Europe, we buy our bread every two days. Look at the "holes" in the american "bread"... well we use yeast that can make big "holes" and smaller ones... in america it is always the same... think about that. Not saying that america has great food, yea but not the bread hehe :)
" with real butter" Wtf is unreal butter please? We have loads of sliced bread. Nearly all of it better than the US version. That said, sliced bread should never be a go to option for food....even though it can be delish, esp when toasted, with "real" butter and Marmite.
In France people shop everyday and can actually buy amazing quality real bread by the slice and so be sure of freshness. Last month my wife and I left England to take a tour of the Eastern US. We found the food quality very mixed. Just one place where the food was delicious. Most was not so good and ketchup type sauces were needed to make it palatable. But the worse aspect was the cost. Incredibly expensive, even for the not so nice food. Then the tipping culture. It felt like being surrounded by beggars. So the idea of cheap American food is not real, at least not for the consumer.
The British should really wind back from this discussion as "white sliced" packaged bread is still popular, the Chorleywood Process en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorleywood_bread_process was developed here in the '60s and packaged Branded bread available in Supermarkets are really just adaptations of this industrial process. There are very few True "Local" Bakers left in Britain. I was brought up on, and my children thanks to my wife, on homemade bread. Shop bought bread for me was only a Holiday "treat" and now a necessity in old age.

If you want a bakery like the one described in the video, take a trip to the Detroit Metro area. I live in Eastpointe, a suburb on the border with Detroit and I have several like this near me. The Italian bakery is 1/2 mile away, the French one is a mile and half, and the Croatian bakery is a quarter mile away. The Croatian bakery alone has 25 varieties of bread -rye, pumpernickel, onion, asiago cheese, etc. In addition, I can go to two Polish bakeries in Hamtramck and two more in Sterling heights, both suburbs about six miles away, while I can go to about three Greek bakeries either downtown or in nearby suburbs (about a 30-minute drive). I can also by cheese like in Europe by going to our Eastern Market where one shop alone sells about 200 varieties.
Yes fresh baked and pre packed sliced and in various "flavours". We do however have "bread" not the salty sugary stuff you get over there.
In the supermarket I work in a fair bit of of bread is sliced. In the bakery bit it’s unsliced for most of the day and gets sliced mostly at the end of the day
Cancer rates can be a little misleading if one concentrates on one product because other factors can be added such as car truck fumes [soot] obesity as well as adatives of many other products.
In the UK, US bread where it can be found, is classified as cake due to its sugar content. I avoided it when jn North America.
Yep I remember seeing a video where bread sold in the EU has 1 gram of sugar whereas the same bread in the US has 6 grams.
You do this across a big range of food and you can understand all the food poisoning the US has, overweight people and other health issues.
Of course we have factory made sliced bread in the UK- it's cheap, OK to eat, and lasts 4 or 5 days tops before it goes stale or green, but the nicest bread is always the freshly made stuff. A tiny bit more expensive, much more flavourful, and lasts 1 to 2 days before going stale.
When I was in the US, my host made me a sandwich with 2 week old bread that was so sweet it could have been cake. Couldn't taste much beyond the sugar, but my goodness did that stuff bung me right up!
Where I used to live in in London, we had a fantastic Turkish place that used to make their bread on site. Gawd, it was delicious ! Plus fresh baklava and other fresh pastry treats. The smell was addictive .That shop is about the only thing I miss from London, after leaving 13 years back.
You should check the approx. 300 different types of bread we bake in Italy
I don't have time. Could you please just mention the top three best (in your opinion). Much appreciated, thank you in anticipation... X
@@stewedfishproductions7959 Off the top of my mind, you should try the Pane di Altamura, the Rosetta and the Pane di Lariano to begin with
@@vanthspiritwalker- I have been to Italy three times in my life and live in a block of six flats, in North London. My neighbours next door and above me are 2 Italian guys, each with a Polish and a Japanese girlfriend. Also, very close is an exclusive Italian Deli (who has a very large Italian customer base - both domestic & commercial); so I will try to get or order to try. Grazie
@@stewedfishproductions7959 You're welcome!
@@vanthspiritwalker Thank you ❤
Yes Conner. It’s nice to unburden on a stranger or someone who you completely trust. x
In the UK we have sliced bread as well as unsliced bread, the unsliced is usually a bit more expensive than the sliced bread.
American bread tastes more like cake than our bread in the UK. It contains High Fructose Corn Syrup which makes it way too sweet for my taste.
In France you can buy pain à mie which is a soft, slightly sweet bread which is normally sold sliced.
I like making my own bread. It's pretty easy. Only 4 ingredients (flour, water, yeast, a little olive oil). I buy organic rye flour and bake it in an iron pot. It's great with soup. Not so great for sandwiches.
Sliced bread in Greece it's called tost bread. Psomi yia tost, or psomi tou tost. Toast or tost in Greek pronunciation isn't that slices you slather with butter in the morning. It's composed of mainly 2 slices of bread, and in between there's ham or turkey and gouda cheese or kaseri (local yellowish cheese). Basically toast is a sandwich. And that's not our regular bread. It's also at least 70% healthier and better for you than American sliced bread. It will hold up to a week max before molding.
Also local bakeries often offer fresh sliced bread or have a slicer to slice your fresh bread and use that.
There's 3 bakeries in each neighborhood. We go get bread that was make the very same morning. Sliced bread isn't what's used next to a meal, for breakfast or to deep in soft yokes. My favorite is whole wheat sourdough bread. Even to make sandwiches It's the best. It holds the longest through natural methods and you can freeze it and heat it up and it tastes good as fresh. Plus it's so crunchy and full of flavor when toasted.
Food in America is so processed that im not sure you can even call it food anymore. That's why people love the food they eat in Greece. It's fresh!
I read some comment, and some people are just literally say - what’s the problem? Make your own bread - it’s easy ! What a good answer. Why I just didn’t think about it before:))
Is he being a bread snob? Yes, totally, that said a lot of American supermarket bread is too sweat and has an alarmingly long shelf life. I live in the UK and visit the USA often. The trouble is traditional French bread has virtually no shelf life, that is why there are so many bakeries, because you have to buy bread fresh every day. Think about it, if you want proper fresh French bread, that won’t break your teeth you have to go out and buy it before breakfast - every day. Would that work in a country the size of America? In the UK we can get mass produced sliced bread (with less than ½ the sugar and ½ the shelf life of similar American bread) as well as fresh baked bread of many kinds in supermarkets and we have local traditional and artisan bakeries. In the USA my friends and I have to search for it but you can get acceptable bread in most supermarkets. If Americans want better bread they can get it, and if enough people want it that kind of bread will become the norm.
you want good bread , buy a bread maker and make it yourself, dead easy, throw the ingredients in before you go to bed, set the timer, wake up in the morning to the smell of fresh baked bread, nothing better than a hot slice of fresh bread smothered in a really good butter for breakfast.
was always told / taught never eat fresh HOT bread
@@philiprice7875 you Have been missing out trust me.
The thing is the demand, if in the US there are bakeries but people prefer to go and buy this toast bread in supermarkets, the laws would hardly change that.
And is not a problem of french laws, all euro countries must follow the same food production laws.
I'm ONLY minutes into the video and am annoyed (angry, while agreeing with the premise). So, I really don't know if/what/might be is going to be mentioned. I have been to the US often, over many years and can say the basic bread you buy in shops is Sh1t - The proviso being: Unless you HAPPEN to go to a proper small town, family bakers, a farmers market or very expensive restaurant offering organic bread!
I DO know that the salt content is SO MUCH higher in US loaves than in Europe/UK (approx 12% + higher - because the 'Rest of the World' have restrictions on ingredients). Recent tests found (especially) chicken dishes, pizzas, bread and even salads are loaded with far more salt in the USA - than ANY available in Europe or Australia. Then think about the SUGAR added to US drinks, cakes and similar foods... I'm in the UK, so 'the irony is strong' - maybe, just maybe (?) the food manufacturers are in the pockets of the 'US Health Care' (now that IS an oxymoron!) - Just saying !!! 😉🇬🇧
French supermarkets sell sliced bread mainly Harry's which is sweet and disgusting. It also lasts a couple of months.
The UK don't put a load of crap in bread either. It gets delivered fresh to our supermarkets daily, sliced, or they make it themselves sliced or unsliced. Our local markets make their own bread, rolls and cakes.
home made bread flour water yeast (activated with sugar) and salt plus a lot of time mixing kneading proving
super market bread well read the list of ingredients
i once asked the supermarket bakery if i could buy some fresh yeast from them (what i am used to using) they said
sorry we dont make our bread here we just defrost and heat it so that the smell can be sent to the front door
@@philiprice7875 The supermarket I work in makes it's own bread, just (we order yeast flour etc in bulk) but only the white and brown bread, the speciality bread comes in ready made. We do make hot x buns from scratch at Easter.
They dont make as much as they used to. We will give yeast if someone asks. I am aware a lot of supermarkets dont, skilled workers are more expensive, butchers were among the first to go, if you can find a store that still has a fresh meat counter they are classed as meatcutters now, less wages.
In France we have thoses sliced bread , also if you have it at your home you better have a good reason before getting judged , its more expensive than traditional bread
Bread was actually made in Scotland before England and we sliced our Bread First in the world. That was so Children did not eat thick Bread. Women ate middle thickness and Men thick slices. Yes. Cancer and Cancer realted illnesses is huge in America as is Obesity and there are more People who are sterile. At the beginning, around 50 seconds, I thought you were going to cut back on the huge number of paused and long speaches. How wrong I was.
At 3:40 & 9:10, un pain au chocolat, different from a croissant
Wine and Bread aisle is the Catholic Communion aisle was my guess.
It's known as the high cost of cheap food.
I love how you do your intros haha
Here in the UK we have both bakeries and supermarket sliced bread. Bakeries can be expensive though but it makes sense since all their stuff is made fresh and they do have to compete with supermarkets where you can get very cheap bread which is a shame.
When you mentioned about the wine and bread being in the same aisle I laughed because I was thinking the same thing haha
Where I live, on the highstreet there used to be three bakeries now there is zero.
Good video
It's not a bread or a wine aisle, it's an isle one side bread one side booze. Whats wrong with that?
Proper bread is what start to miss after a couple days visiting the US
Sugar belongs in a cake or pie, not in bread, americans….
Us Germans have 3000 TYPES of bread
I got some burger buns from Costco, it was disgusting, full of sugar.
The main thing about the success of the styrofoam bread is laziness.
In France you’ll go get your bread every day, so it’s fresh every day, and you are healthier every day not just because you’re eating something that is tasty and delicious with an enticing texture, but also because you valued it highly enough to get off your arse to get it. Just saying.
Normally twice a day.
In France the cost of baguette is actually determined by the government its that important in France
😂 yeah off course we have sliced bread, just not wonder bread 🥖
in Italy it is even better than in France. There are over 250 types of bread alone among those identified and every single small village has its own next to the best known.
What areas and town would you recommend to visit except Rome and other touristic places
@@YOUTUBSTERR1 for example the whole Baroque part of Sicily
I love bread and I particularly loved bread in Italy. So much choice and everything I tried was gorgeous.
And now we know why macdonalds buns are indestructible and never rot, gross.
Are You drinking water called Poland Spring? What the hell? xD
Tbh, if I think about good bread France is not my first thought. It is even one of the first things mentioned by Americans visiting or moving to Germany. As for Cancer, I would say there is probably a reason why the top 4 clinics specialized in Cancer treatment are in the US.
The US’s go to attitude to an artificial problem is another artificial solution.
French bread is way better that German one
You've said "french laws" like 6 times in this video as if that's the sole reason (an assumption to begin with) for all of this...
How the hell did he get that shit through customs???!
I thought bringing dangerous chemicals into Europe was illegal
cancer rates are actrually higher in the EU, but mainly because we smoke more and most population in general lives in cities dating back to the middle ages which causes more traffic, unlike americans which mainly live in the suburbs and get mnore or at least, less poluted air. I would also wage that most population currently living in the EU was exposed to some sort of radiation that leaked in chernobyl, I was a baby when that happen and lets face it, it reached every country in europe, so I reckon that could have long lasting effects in the general population.
Bread is so important. It appears that many in the USA don't care much about what they are eating. There are many others though, who have decided to grow their own food. There are many YT channels owned by homesteaders across the USA. 'Justin Rhodes' and 'Sow the Land' are my favourites.
it's not about the laws. While we have law that prohibit the use of some ingredients they can still make processed breads. It's the fact that people generally don't want to buy them. They know what a real bread tastes like and they will rather spend more money to get that satisfaction.
There are good preservatives and bad preservatives usually based on profit not goodness or genuine care for the customers health. Wholemeal contains more roughage .Wjte bread is stripped of its nutrients wholemeal is not. The E.U and Britain bans a numer of American food products because of what is considered ingredients that are not good for the health of the people. America could do the same which makes me wonder how far the profit motive is allowed to go.
The best bread is bread made at home and eaten on the day it is baked. Nothing else compares.
No, you don't like the 'standard baguette'.
One question for you: Do you have a passport, and have you ever travelled outside the USA?
The thing is, I kinda find the extremely soft bread boring. I like the crhuncyness on the outside and the softer inside, with a bread flavour, not a sugar and butter flavour. Idk how people prefere the boring monotone "cake bread" over the traditional intresting and unique bread.
You can blame us brits as we invented the Chorleywood bread process which allows the use of lower-protein wheats and reduces processing time
I personally like a good granary or super seed , but toasted thick white is good for my marmite in the morning ☺
I feel genuine concern for the people of America and the companies that put larger profits above the health of the people. Freedom of choice can be perverted just as Adolf Hitler perverted the freedom of speech along with Stalin .
Freedom is hypothesis, freedom is given by government to keep you in the limbo you are in, as long as you tow the line, believe the propaganda, allow the narrative to run and don't question anything. Yeah you are free.
Governments and its satellites use the narrative democracy to keep you adhering to the line they want.
There's more to it, but when thing happen ( wars, etc) mentally think about every situation going on, listen to all sides, make your own opinion, not the fake, or propaganda. And look towards why are these things happening, who benefits, and why no one talks about it, and if they do, they are conspiracy theorists, nuts or just not what the satellite companies want to promote the narrative.
There's not much a few people can do tbh, we all die in the end, governments and their polices, propaganda change, and don't care about the few.
Just like war, afterwards they move on, do they care, no. Then you ask are we free, they fought for our freedom, what about the ones who didn't come home, are they free?? They are in a way. Unfortunately freedom is tiny, being free is not what they want to be.
i had no idea hobos had the money to travel...
I just watched this today and whilst I agree with a lot of his points, I do feel he didn't have much that was positive to offer. Whilst it was well shot and everything, you'd be better watching the Adam Ragusea video he mentions as there are more facts and less emotions.
Might be just me but I've been watching you for maybe a couple of months now and I've always thought you reminded me of someone but could never put my finger on it.
Finally, there was a click in my small brain and it's Danny Dyer.
Watching your videos will now be less frustrating (at me, not you).
In Germany we apparently have over 3000 types of bread. Source: Geography now. I haven't counted.
You don't put butter in bread.lol
The French have like 2 hour lunch breaks at work x so they can sit down for a nice lunch
Watch more Johnny Harris videos
It boils down to one thing and that's money, the US is too capitalistic in that there is very little checks and balances on it on whether you should do something because you can.
Then you've got the problem of the health care industry that actually profits on people getting sick and here is the kicker, the food industry doesn't want universal health care because they likely know that if the US got that, it would put a lot more pressure on the government to clean up it's act on food quality, in other words, fewer profits for the food industry, after all, when the burden of health care is on all, anyone that is sick, overweight and so on, becomes a burden on that system, so there's a big incentive for the government to improve the quality of living of the people in many areas, food being one of them.
Basically, Americans have got a big struggle in getting real change in the US and mainly because they've let corporations get too powerful whiles weakening the government.
In other countries like in Europe, we seem to like big governments that keep businesses in check and pull them into line if they go too far, basically, EU countries took capitalism but with many checks and balances, whiles adding a lot of social protection, the US on the other hand became a free for all to the highest bidder with more money and I suspect unless Americans wake up on that, it's only going to get worse in the coming decades and I think part of the biggest problem is that the government goes out of it's way to protect big business at the expense of medium and small business, which big business only care about profits and streamlining.
Yeah, been to France lately. Bread? Not what was, baguettes not baked, but steamed. Sad, but as the UK.
Sliced bread of the US type does exist here.
But it's not called bread.
It's called toast.
toast! lol most people call it SH**E
And there in a nutshell is why Americans, live on average, 2-4 years less than a lot of countries in the world. Check out videos of Americans who have lived in Europe and then move back to the US and how sick they get when they start eating American food again. It’s a real eye opener!
It's not just France, practicly all of Western Europa has better bread than the US: Netherlands, Belgium , Germany, you name it, even the sliced bread in supermarkets is better. And Paris the most bikeable city? he obviously never been in The Netherlands.
I can confirm.
American bread os possibly the worst bread in the world.
It's too soft, sweet, spongy.
It's pretty much a cake, not bread
Yea I have tasted all of the bread (well not all but Danish, French and German espsecially)... the American bread is not bread for me.... I am not talking about how it is made but the taste is just horrible (sugar and sugar). and bread in France you can keep two days before it becomes dry (not from France here)... like HE said, it has been done for thousand of years. "bread" that can last for longer than a week is not bread. In Europe, we buy our bread every two days. Look at the "holes" in the american "bread"... well we use yeast that can make big "holes" and smaller ones... in america it is always the same... think about that. Not saying that america has great food, yea but not the bread hehe :)
Did this guy commit a crime taking that bread to the EU?
Im sure your American Bakery's have fresh made bread, umm got to French supermarket seems unfair , or go to American bakery and buy it not supermarket
" with real butter" Wtf is unreal butter please? We have loads of sliced bread. Nearly all of it better than the US version. That said, sliced bread should never be a go to option for food....even though it can be delish, esp when toasted, with "real" butter and Marmite.
The US food in general is poor in general, processed cheese, full of harmful chemicals that are illegal in Europe.
let's not joke. The American one is not bread and has nothing to do with bread.
Don’t trust the money men too much.
I thought this was a bread reaction and now we have gone into therapy...very 'american', too 'american', just get a grip and a life.
Next unsorted your eggs out
US bread is awful. Yuck
American bread is made with sawdust.,.
It's cake.
In France people shop everyday and can actually buy amazing quality real bread by the slice and so be sure of freshness. Last month my wife and I left England to take a tour of the Eastern US. We found the food quality very mixed. Just one place where the food was delicious. Most was not so good and ketchup type sauces were needed to make it palatable. But the worse aspect was the cost. Incredibly expensive, even for the not so nice food. Then the tipping culture. It felt like being surrounded by beggars. So the idea of cheap American food is not real, at least not for the consumer.
As a German, the only thing I can say: Please watch "Baby Got Laugengebäck". :-)
UK bread has all kinds of crap in it which the government forces them to include, the last I read about what stuff for pregnant women
The quality of “good bread” in the USA or even the U.K. to some degree is significantly worse than bread in France/Italy/Spain
I bet you voted remain😂
The British should really wind back from this discussion as "white sliced" packaged bread is still popular, the Chorleywood Process en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorleywood_bread_process was developed here in the '60s and packaged Branded bread available in Supermarkets are really just adaptations of this industrial process. There are very few True "Local" Bakers left in Britain.
I was brought up on, and my children thanks to my wife, on homemade bread. Shop bought bread for me was only a Holiday "treat" and now a necessity in old age.
You can get sliced bread but it’s only going to last maybe 5 days or so because it doesn’t have the same chemicals/preservatives in it.
Connor you can always talk to me on discord 💜
