It's Sunday today and I have JUST returned from the local 'Farmers Market' (in North London)... The funny thing is, I just bought freshly made bread (a baguette, an olive loaf and a sourdough, some pasties and pies. I'm off out NOW too, to meet friends down at the pub were we have a table reserved for Sunday Roast. Yum! Yum! So I will have to watch this later on... Bye 😋
I had to laugh at your amusingly smug comment, even though I felt a bit of an envious sigh! Hope you had a good lunch and enjoy your hoard of baked goodies!
@@JJ-of1ir Firstly, let me mention... I did NOT intend to sound smug, ONLY happy and pleased with myself (so possibly 'smug' - DUH? LOL) - as the day was cold, yet I had ALREADY had a good (productive day) visiting THREE local Sunday markets... 👍 And yes, the Sunday lunch was good. 😊
@@KC-gy5xw I live near Finsbury Park/Manor House and have several 'Sunday/Farmer's' Markets within a mile or two. I actually managed to visit 3 on Sunday morning, one of which WAS 'Ally Pally' (which, TBH, I don't often visit, because the others are closer and nearer to each other). The nearest one to me is at 'Stroud Green Primary School' - small. but we often walk to it (usually), to be able to then have a few drinks in the 'Faltering Fullback' pub opposite (with all its plants and hidden nooks). The other one I 'popped' through was the Chapel Market 'farmers market' (but it was crazy busy and I didn't stay long!). I avoided the 'grazing' because of the Sunday Roast... 🤣🤣🤣
I work in the bakery of a small supermarket. Two ovens, baking lovely bread, biscuits and cakes all mornjng. I even no when some customers come for specific loaves, so I make sure their loaves are freshly baked when they arrive.
Being a Scotsman, this regular shmegular highly recommends Scottish Pride bread. The 'heel' toasted and dripping with butter and sea salt is the closest we get to heaven on earth.
Hi Zee, well, I've just had a look at the bread I have and it is 'Warburtons' Danish bread and sugar is not listed in the ingredients. The natural sugar per slice is 0.4grams xxx 🙂
This is why Americans seem to freak out at the thought of beans on toast! Your beans are sweet, used at barbecues, and your bread is basically cake to us - even to Brits that sounds disgusting! ^^ Our bread is savoury, and not sweet at all :o
Excusing the use of excess sugar in American bread, as a 'preservative' is a reason used for a myriad of products over in America, and the excuse is always that because America is such a huge place, food needs to travel a lot further, so requires a larger amount of preservative. But there's another solution: MANUFACTURE THINGS LOCALLY! Everywhere else in the western world gets by with the concept of LOCAL bakers providing to LOCAL consumers, without too much trouble. If the USA and Canada could accept this concept, it may minutely reduce the profits of your massive manufacturing companies, but on the good side, you'd be able to eat bread that didn't taste like sponge cake, (and for similar reasons, you'd be able to remove the additives from your chocolate, that makes it taste of vomit!)
Much better, would be non corruptible politicians, who wave by laws not to benefit the consumer but promote business instead. The number one target should be food regulations
I watched a video a few months ago about emergency services in the US, when it had finished I watched it again just to count the people in it. There were two slim people, 6 overweight people and what could be considered 13 obese people, I was astounded. It was a video about them surprising someone at Christmas, all I could do was think about them doing their job because when the woman walked into the building she was out of breath, if a walk did that to you I think you need to lose weight.
There are bakeries everywhere in Europe, and as she said, most supermarkets have a fresh bakery section(and a butcher, fishmonger etc) as well as the ready packaged goods...failing all of that, make your own. A dear US friend has been making her own wonderful sourdough loaves for years because she didn't want to feed her family all that added sugar. Not sure why she thought bread would have to travel a long distance in the US and Canada...you just have more bakeries, then it's both local and fresh.
After a long illness a member of my family was veering towards Type 2 Diabetes so we looked at all the foods we ate - which I had thought were healthy - and began by cutting out sugar in our tea, foods with ADDED sugar (as much as possible) and always looked at the labels for naturally occurring sugar. Experts say that humans should not have more that 24g a day, but that you should try to cut it down to as few grammes as possible. One of the horrors was fruit juices. I had always thought this an aid to a healthy diet. It is when eaten as 'an orange' as nature grows it because you eat it with its natural fibre, but just drink the juice and the sugar content is VERY high. It's been a journey of trial and error for us and of many discoveries that something we truly like we can no longer have regularly, but it has been worth it. Yes, we 'slip' from time to time, but we feel so much better, have lost about twenty lbs and are much more active. Also, we have found, if we eat sugar ... the reaction of sugar in our bodies is, like a Gremlin, it drives us to eat more.
Brit bloke here. I watched one of these reaction clips a few months ago, and they were discussing bread. Not only was there a lot of sugar added to USA bread, but one "ingredient" was something that is used to make yoga mats to make them spongy and soft. Go figure as they say over there.
@@Moonmonkian Should I be concerned about Dihydrogen Monoxide/oxide Yes, you should be concerned about DHMO! Although the U.S. Government and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) do not classify Dihydrogen Monoxide as a toxic or carcinogenic substance (as it does with better known chemicals such as hydrochloric acid and benzene), DHMO is a constituent of many known toxic substances, diseases and disease-causing agents, environmental hazards and can even be lethal to humans in quantities as small as a thimbleful. USA allows certain substances in their foods that are banned by most of the rest of the World. So yes, go figure. If the population is constantly sick, the big pharmaceutical companies (and the greedy government of course) make loads of money.
Im in the UK and a Type 2 diabetic . I inject insulin each day and my enemy is sugar . I shouldnt eat cakes . Bread , potatoes many fruits flour sauces and the list goes on . I know if I overdo it because my vision goes blurred and my feet go numb. Sugar is very bad and your body struggles to deal with it
Brit here, You must remember, America is a business. So to make bread last longer, they add tons of sugar. Look at the labels on products in your supermarkets, they read like a chemical set-why? Because "food" is changed via additives and chemicals, to make it whiter or orangey (ever seen real orange juice? it isn't orange in colour!) or tender or tastier? You will find that there is lots of sugar and salt in loads of food products. Your chicken is washed in chlorine, to make it edible, beef has "tenderisers" and loads of antibiotics. You should really be checking just what you are eating! An awful lot of America additives and chemicals are banned in Europe and thats why they dont buy American food. Your eggs have to be kept in the freezer/chiller compartment in the shop,Ever wonder why? Eggs in the UK are on normal shelves, not chilled. It has to do with animal husbandry- your chickens live in shite, thats why they wash the eggs. Even McDonalds has a different recipe in Europe to America. I often wonder whether the "food" industry has ties to the medical profession !! CHECK what you eat! Remember, sugar is addictive and dont believe the sugar free claims because they use sweeteners that keep you in the sugar loop. Sugar as well being addictive also makes you want more- drink or food. Try buying food without sugar or salt in it--you will be surprised. Probably the best way is to buy from a farm shop as opposed to a supermarket. Loose pounds and feel fitter and healthier. It's been said by many Americans who have lived in Europe for over 6months, that they actually lose weight even though they eat the same amount of food. Think on. Remember it's a business. Laws in America favour business not the customer.
American bread has so much sugar in it that it would be classed as CAKE in the UK ! I like peanut butter, especially on toast, but not every day. She never buttered the toast before adding the marmalade !! I just checked my SUPERSEEDED bread and it has NO sugar whatsoever in it ! Just flour , water , yeast and seeds.
Greetings from the United Kingdom. I always look at the ingredients whether its bread or not, just a habit i have gotten into. You could make your own bread, either with a bread making machine, or manually, its a bit time consuming but at least you will know whats in it (providing you don't add a heap of sugar).
I have noticed that bread in the UK now lasts longer, when I was young bread started to go stale after 3 days. This bread was used to make a bread pudding with raisons and such, delicious.
Someone should ask Alanna - if it's ok to say 'bergel' for 'bagel' how come when you're checking the ingredients, you look on the label, and not the 'lerbel'?
Get yourself a breadmaking machine and I'll happily send you over the pre made kits. Simply add a bit of water, and you'll have a fresh loaf every day.
The “food has to travel further, so therefore it needs to be the way it is” is bollocks. It works for the big grocery companies, but bread is a very simple thing to make, a local bakery is not a difficult thing to run. They use that excuse for why US chocolate tastes like vomit. They need to put all sorts of crap in it so it can travel! Chocolate keeps for a long time without any additives. Your food producers are scamming you.
I myself have been to America a Few Times and the last time I went was Over a Decade ago ! Because I like to try things while on Holiday and We’ve been to California Florida Nevada and Arizona and I know you have 2 Different Types of Bread in America What you call Bread and What we in Europe see as Bread IE Sourer Doe ?. And to be honest I hated Your American normal Bread Way to Much Sugar ! BUT The Sourer Doe Bread was The what we get in The UK,EU Proper Bread ?.
Canadian bread isn’t as sweet as American bread Subway rolls cannot be sold as bread it is classed cake because of the sugar content My daughter lives in Canada I never eat bread there I only eat her homemade
American bread is horrible! Sweet and a lot with eggs in randomly!! yuck.. As someone who was in hospital with an egg allergy, when they send up sweetened and egg enriched bread with my meals I called up the 'nutritionist' and tore her off a strip with my vitriol and sarcasm. (I was already famous in Austin and in the music scene for having such an incredible reaction and being ALIVE still: my late BFF was still being quizzed over 2 0 years later ) I hope she learned, but I doubt it very much.. Hopefully if you have a frozen mojito or any frozen drink, you should not have any egg whites added - you can thank me for that.

Damn you and your tempting bread smell
We do have sweet bread like brioche from France but it's buttery rather than sugary sweet

While is 6grams per slice in American cake...sorry bread.
We sell a lot of meat, fish and cheese spreads so kids have a healthier filling and less sugar
American bread would be classed as a cake in the UK lol

Our bread is savoury, and not sweet at all :o
We have marmalade.jam.peanot butter.chocolate spread.marmite on toast or just bread and butter.
It is Sunday and this reminds me of Mom making hot chocolate tea and we would dip our hard dough bread in it It was wonderful .
Buy a bread maker Island girl and make your own delicious bread. It’s quick and easy to do if you’re worried about the children’s health.
Thanks for sharing

Watch out for 'peanut butter'- check the oil content, it should NOTa be hydrolysed!

American bread lasts weeks. Real bread lasts 3-5 days.
I have noticed that bread in the UK now lasts longer, when I was young bread started to go stale after 3 days. This bread was used to make a bread pudding with raisons and such, delicious.
You need a bit of sugar to help the yeast to rise
Tiger bread is by far the best 🎉 🇬🇧 ❤ Tiger is sooooo good and the crust even better
Someone should ask Alanna - if it's ok to say 'bergel' for 'bagel' how come when you're checking the ingredients, you look on the label, and not the 'lerbel'?

Hi just a quick comment have you heard about the SUGAR TAX in the UK for sodas ‼️‼️‼️
Peanut butter is mingin 😅
Natural PB is lush!!
My husband loves his peanut butter but I’ve never tasted it. I also don’t know anyone who eats marmite or what it tastes like like either.
The best bread 🍞 is from Jamaica 🇯🇲 😊
🇯🇲🇯🇲yum yum yum😋
Get yourself a breadmaking machine and I'll happily send you over the pre made kits. Simply add a bit of water, and you'll have a fresh loaf every day.
I make my own bread. I don’t add any sugar.
We call your bread cake because of how sweet it is. Our bread doesn't have a long lifetime like you but we will still prefer wot we have
Peanut butter is weird. I love peanuts, but I don't want them prechewed.
It must be a huge downgrade from Jamaican food to American.

If you add sugar to bread ingredients, it becomes a frankenstine cake, not bread! English bread adds salt not sugar
America must have Local Bakers surely. Not every Loaf of Bread travels 1000s of miles.?

American bread tastes so weird because it’s not really bread. So full of rubbish it can’t be sold anywhere other than America
