I'm confused about the single full stop. It shows they have knowledge of basic punctuation, but refuse to use it.

Did.. Did they just make a "pee is stored in the balls" reference?

Reading "anti crab" propaganda made me think extra.

I only accept the darkest, blackest bread there is. I crave the fiber

In 1900 the average French person was eating 900g of bread per day.

I'm working on it to reach this level again.

I like how in the menu the chef is like -- and I'm paraphrasing of course -- you assholes can't have bread cuz you don't deserve it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 hours ago

Simple: I'm a carb based life form.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 hours ago

God gave us grain but not bread so that we, too, could indulge in the joy of creation.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 hours ago

I see extreme anti-carb mentality like teetotalling when the health goal is really just don't be a drunkard.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

Actually fat makes you fat and carbs make you crab

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

You got it all wrong, you just have to work out a lot and then eat all the carbs you want

Gluten free bread lacks any of the pleasant qualities of actual bread (my gluten allergy is "makes you have the shits" and not "kills you")

You can get good biscuits and cake without gluten. Good cereal. Passable pasta. Even decent pizza crust.

Not bread. Not by a long shot. The best gluten free bread in the world is just decent at its best, not to mention costing 15x the price. REALLY not worth it.

I'll eat a slice for you friend 😭

Bakers knead bread to explore their souls.

Personally I just have keto bread with like 1 net carb. Love bread and love the fiber.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago (9 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 hours ago

It's okay to be wrong

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

[–] [email protected] 23 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

And freshly baked bread smells and tastes orgasmic

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

When you crack that loaf and steam comes out.

Adding anything at that moment would ruin the bread.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

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.

You can eat bread without butter, but good luck eating butter without bread

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 hours ago

Don't be trapped by convention. Eat the best part by itself.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 hours ago

Don't tell me what to do.

You should look for better bread. It exists.

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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.

Motherfuckers invented a boulangerie and you queue for an hour?

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

You’re not going to sit and eat a spoonful of jelly like a fucking goblin

Yes I fucking will. I mean it. I do. It's delicious.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

you're not gonna eat a spoonful of jelly

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 hours ago

Bread is a conveyor of butter.
