My wife insists on Sara Lee soft & smooth classic white...the bread reminds me more of cake than anything...I call it "cake bread"

And that's typically what's considered white bread (Pablo knows it, but won't admit it). It's funny that you mention how this type bread reminds you of cake. Take Hawaiian bread and sweet rolls.Those are certainly more cake than bread.

Bread selection becomes usually much more limited and the farther you go from bigger cities here, the more difficult finding artisan breads becomes.

Lookout Mori I'm here to destroy all 'white bread' of the commercially manufactured kind. I don't include Turkish or Itlian say in that grouping. There's white then there's white. Give me a nice haevy organic wholemeal anyday.

Aye!

 

[sprintman]

Sorry Scottish in the far distant past slipped out.

 

[Pablo]

Just correcting your statement that's all. Nothing to admit on either side. Of course I know most people call wonder type food product "white bread". And I stand by the fact that there are some breads that are (essentially) white that are great with salami.

Hawaiian bread has about a pound of sugar per cubic inch. That MIGHT be an exaggeration.

 

[sprintman]

Are you being serious re Hawaiian bread?

 

[Mamala Bay]

The original Portuguese Sweet Bread uses sugar. The Hawaiian Bread recipe may include pineapple juice with little sugar added. Also some recipe can also include crushed pineapple, banana or sweet juice extracts with little or no sugar added.

...A real pretzel, some slices of Emmentaler, sliced salted radishes, and a beer on the side...

burp!...Thanks for the recommendation Mori...I couldn't get real Emmentaler so I substituted Havarti...a very worthy cheese!...I just need to know what beer! for next time...All I had was budweiser...and it was ice, cold...

The Havarti was $5.29/lb at the local deli...A Danish lady I work with recommended it...

Well, I for one don't call Hawaiian or sweet bread "bread." Most of them are simple cakes made out of yeast dough. I often make raisin rolls and loaves, but I don't call them bread.

You got banana "bread" in OZ?

 

[sprintman]

Yup I believe so. Big difference here to U.S is we don't put sugar/corn syrup in bread. Bread should not be sweet. next time you visit Oz I'll take you to some nice places. you will be surprised. Hint, isolation breeds imagination/experimentation...s

 

[Shannow]

Nope, banana "cake" is fairly common, never heard it called bread.

As to variety, this mob are pretty well situated all around the country. (we've even got one here in town).

That's the kind of bread worth being called bread!

Never had the "bread" with fruit juices, etc. That sounds better than the King's sugar stuff. (That's all I see here). When you think about it, like all stuff in Hawaii (including the rock), bread came from somewhere else, and certainly yeast bread didn’t come with the original “natives”.

I actually like fruit "breads". I have actually made some great Panettone , and came really close to that great flavor and texture. That is an egg and yeast "bread".....I think the root of the problem is latin word "pan"

MIL just got back from Ko-lima (sp?)…….as usual “the place has changed”, too much traffic, etc….but the new Hotel/Resort was beautiful.

For once I'm not gonna haggle over etymology, semantics and rhetoric. I'll just serve myself a thick slice of bread cake while pointing at the dictionary:

bread
1. a kind of food made of flour or meal that has been mixed with milk or water, made into a dough or batter, with or without yeast or other leavening agent, and baked.

cake
1. a sweet, baked, breadlike food, made with or without shortening, and usually containing flour, sugar, baking powder or soda, eggs, and liquid flavoring.

That's a fairly classic definition. Fine by me!

Sara Lee white wheat bread with Virginia Ham and American Cheese/mayo. Might as well eat bread that has some good fiber in it!!

 

[NYEngineer]

There's a german bakery right near my house that makes awesome bread. My favorite it the marble loaf. Pumpernickle and Rye mixed together. It's soft on the inside with a nice, stout crust. Liverwurst rules on this bread.

 

[Pablo]

I don't care. I'm flaggin' starving here. I'm gonna go down and eat my lunch......boooooowaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahhaha...see what you guys did to me? Pretty soon it will be the beer thread.

(Homemade "Swedish" meatballs and gravy (lamb, pork and beef), cherry jam (out of lingonberry and cranberry jelly), brocolli, and home made fire roasted hot peppers......)

 

[sprintman]

If it's Sarah Lee you can bet it's junk.
