    Carbs aren’t evil but if you don’t want to be overweight you have to eat carbs in moderation. It’s not that hard gang.

    This is incorrect.

    Butter, jam, marmalade, honey, relish, mayonnaise, and mustard are what make life worth living.

    Bread is like air: a medium that is difficult to enjoy on its own, but necessary so that we can have the truly good things.

      Found the heretic

      Give me a loaf of bread, and I will eat it and be happy. End of story.

      Condiments are nice conditionally, but bread is always fantastic

          When you crack that loaf and steam comes out.

          Adding anything at that moment would ruin the bread.

            Absolutely! You must always try the bread unbuttered first. Then add the butter for the second bite, but that first bite of freshly baked, still steaming bread must be plain to truly experience it’s splendor.

            Fun fact, while the Eucharist/communion is given as a special ceremony in most denominations, originally the eating of bread at any time was considered a holy moment.

            “For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.” In the king James, but many other translations phrase it as “whenever” or “every time” instead of “as often”

            Still today, (Christian) Quakers take it this way. You are taking the Eucharist whenever you eat bread (or just eat) or drink wine (or just drink). There is also a belief that every bath is a baptism, and that the sacraments are daily lived experiences.

            So, yeah, bread is life, and is holy, and is all things that are good, and yes, I am a diabetic, and I’ll cut out soda, and ice cream, and candy, and even (God help me) potatoes if I have to… But you’ll get my bread over my cold, dead, amputated foot.

      That’s crazy. Bread is incredible. I’ll happy sit and tear pieces off and eat them like an animal. I also like condiments, but plain bread is fantastic if it’s good bread.

      You’ve never bitten into a fresh, still-warm loaf of homemade sourdough just a few minutes out of the oven, have you…

      Truely good bread can be eaten completely alone and taste amazing.

        There’s a mom and pop shop here that makes sourdough rounds on the weekends.

        There is always a line, they always sell out. It’s one of those things where if you want one, you have to get there, and get in line an hour or so before they open. Otherwise you’re SOL.

        They are absolutely wonderful rounds. Just perfect.

      Try fresh baked bread right out of the oven. I swear whenever my bread machine finishes, I get through the first third of the loaf within the first half hour and then take most of the week to finish the rest.

          I got my first bread machine second-hand on eBay, for a fraction of the price of a new one. When that gave up the ghost I found a replacement machine even cheaper in a charity shop. It’s the sort of thing people buy or are given, and it ends up shoved in a cupboard. They are sold on cheaply, often hardly used.

          I make a simple wholemeal loaf every week: bread flour, yeast, a little fat (oil or butter), a little salt. I leave it to bake overnight and wake to a wonderful smell. It’s better bread than supermarket stuff and works out cheaper, even using premium flours. I’m too lazy to go through all the kneading, proving etc; having a machine do it for me is perfect.

      From someone who eats almost no bread anymore:

      It’s the bread.

      You’re not going to sit and eat a spoonful of jelly like a fucking goblin, but you might eat a piece of plain bread and be happy about it. Especially if it’s a perfectly cooked dinner roll.

        Speak for yourself mangohead

        Down with the tyranny of delicious sweet things being spread on salty bread which ruins their taste. I eat jams and Nutella like they’re a dessert.

    Bread made feeding people cheap. That isn’t civilization; that’s dominator culture. It’s slavery with extra steps. You’ve all been eating peasant food. Break the cycle.

      Bread is a whole lot of work to make than say, rice. Bread isn’t cheap, it’s only cheap because some of the ingredient might’ve been subsidised in one way or another, to make sure the country isn’t starving. It’s popular among us peasant because it could last, it’s one of the most versatile ingredient available, and it’s filling.

      Bread made feeding people cheap.

      Bread is a luxury, if feeding people cheap was the only concern, porridge would be a better use of grains than bread. Porridge predominated when peasant culture predominated; bread becomes common with civilization’s connections, innovations, and specialization.
