my dude have you ever gotten a sandwich in Ljubljana? It's bread, salt, butter, and bacon grease. that's it. And they're fucking amazing. I don't think europe has any room to criticize.

    The bread in Europe isn't drowning in sugar like American bread though

    I don't know from what American bread you're taking about. Subway? Wonder Bread? I know one person who likes them and doesn't eat them out of economic necessity. He just got out of the navy and we are working on training his palate on real food.

    Sourdough? Tiger bread? There's a sandwich shop I eat at just for their focaccia. Fuck I wish I was eating there now. They didn't ímport those. Might have imported the floors.

    Almost all non-artisan store bought bread in the US uses sugar in some degree to feed the yeast.

    That's one thing that's hard to explain to Europeans - the US has good food, some of the best in the world.

    It's just not the usual fare, and you will pay so much for it.

    There's great artisan bakeries - but here in Barcelona, every bakery has good fresh bread without additives for a euro or two right by your house. In the US, same things would take a specific car trip and cost much more.

    that's pretty standard for Europe as a whole - lived in Netherlands and Croatia (both smaller cities) and it was the same thing
