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.

[–] ftbd@feddit.org 6 points 23 hours ago

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

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

Bakers knead bread to explore their souls.

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

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

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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.

But im allergic to gluten :(

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

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago (17 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.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (6 children)

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.

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 day ago (3 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.

[–] 7U5K3N@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day 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.

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.

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day 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.

[–] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 3 points 1 day 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.

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I've been trying real hard not to spend money on a bread machine.

[–] MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

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.

Bread is a conveyor of butter.

[–] paultimate14@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Bread, pasta, tortillas, chips, rice, etc. They are all just vehicles for sauce.
