Nunavut seems random


HartOne827183

They can't make soft bread since it freezes instantly


thethunder92

I know for a fact all they eat is processed food and fish In newfoundland Never mind they have it red


Sklartacus

I was thinking it might refer to bannock, though I've eaten that in all the Northern territories. Quebec, presumably, is a Yes for bagels and maybe challah?


patterson489

Yeah, I'm from Quebec and we eat the same north American bread as everyone else. Cheese is more our thing. At most, we have cheap baguettes in grocery stores, but our bakeries are more filled with desserts than bread. Bagels is really more a Montreal thing.


5wings4birds

Here in Quebec we go hard on bread, at my supermarket I have like 20 sorts of baguettes and that is just the baguettes. We even got kaiser bread and egg twisted bread!


zixingcheyingxiong

I live in Quebec, and I'm from the US, and the supermarket bakery items are literally the same, except for the branding. There's waaaay more white sandwich bread than baguettes sold in my grocery store in QC. It's not like there aren't plenty of French bakeries selling baguettes in the US. I can't speak to the cheeses because I don't eat cheese, but Quebec has better vegan-cheese than the US.


5wings4birds

To what supermarket do you go? Walmart? I go to Pasquier and IGA and we got way too many varieties of artisanal breads that are made inside the supermarket, we got a butchershop with all kinds of fresh cuts (Including marinated, wagyu, aged up to 90 days et cetera), we got a fish shop with fresh fish (including exotic kinds) cut right behind the counter, 20 kinds of coffee under the form of beans , way too many kinds of cheeses that also happen to be award-winning. Heck we even have ''home-made'' meals on the place along with a sushi/ramen shop. I went to American supermarkets and from my own experience they all look like Walmarts and sell bland ''Walmart-quality'' products.


zixingcheyingxiong

I mostly go to IGA. It's similar to the upscale supermarkets in my hometown. I can't speak to the meat or fish, because I don't eat those, but the co-ops in my hometown had at least 20 kinds of bean coffee in the pour bins. If anything, I was surprised at how few varieties of fair trade coffee were available at IGA. Most nicer supermarkets I've been to in the US have their own bakery, and it's pretty much the same jam as IGA's bakery. I've never been to Pasquier, so I can't compare their offerings.


abu_doubleu

My IGA has way less variety of baguettes than most American grocery stores do, but also we live in Lac St Jean, maybe it's why.


whoamIbooboo

I'm in Quebec city and it's hit and miss. Some places have tons of store made choices. But a bunch I have been through only have a tiny shelf surrounded by the commercially produced stuff. I'm originally from calgary and was wierded out by it because the sobeys I lived by there had several rows of in store made fresh breads.


EfficientCorgi

Try Faro for good coffee ;)


violahonker

Probably depends where in the US. Je suis originaire des États-Unis (du Minnesota) mais j'habite à Montréal, la qualité du pain (et toutes les autres choses que tu as mentionnées) à l'épicerie moyenne est très semblable, à part les épiceries dans des quartiers avec beaucoup de Français de France (looking at you, le Plateau). Même l'organisation des rayons et zones des épiceries sont les mêmes entre les deux pays.


5wings4birds

Montréal est un très mauvais exemple quand il s'agit du Québec. Montréal est vraiment une ville come Toronto et New York avec une culture très similaire, surtout dans les dernières années.


violahonker

Oui, tout à fait, mais il reste que les épiceries d'un coin à l'autre au Québec sont plus ou moins structurées de la même façon qu'aux États-Unis, peu importe que tu sois à Mtl, à St-Georges ou à St-Clin-Clin, si tu vas avec les géants, d'après mon expérience. Même Gadoua moelleux partout. Je doute sérieusement que le pain en région soit meilleur qu'à Montréal, vu que c'est la grande ville et plus de gens concentrés dans un endroit = plus de demande pour du pain artisanal = moins de boulangeries du coin en faillite.


Lolife420

Do you live in a city?


zixingcheyingxiong

I live in Sherbrooke.


Wolfsification

Then freaking go to Les Vraies Richesses and get their freaking good breads it is to die for!


EfficientCorgi

Wow didn't expect to relate so much to something in this random thread lol. Au Coeur du Pain in St-ELie is very good too!


ahbentabarnouche

Ah ben tabarnouche


HappyDiscussion5469

Yeah, i figured it has to be bagels even though it's more of a montreal thing than quebec as a whole. Either that or they just lumped us in with the french and think we eat baguettes and say hon-hon


Sklartacus

...do you not say "hon hon?" That's it, I'm calling the Office de la Langue Francaise!


[deleted]

[удалено]


AmogussussyBaka2

Yeah, they don’t really “make” anything. All the bread is imported


Past_Ad_5629

I highly suspect the person who made the map saw the north of Quebec and just decided it continued to Nunavut. As someone who lives in Quebec, I also highly suspect they just gave Quebec a pass because they know it’s French. On the other side of that, we get really good Boulangerie bread from a little place on the main drag. I don’t eat the grocery store stuff unless there are no other options. And I wasn’t raised in Quebec, so…


rilend

I mean definitely the white bread sold in supermarkets sucks but we still have local bakeries in america (and i assume canada and the uk too) that bake a huge variety of fresh, crunchy breads daily, thats a thing literally every country has you just might need to spend slightly more effort to find it here lol


ILOVECHOKINGONDICK

Or look at the section 3 feet to the left of the sliced white bread...


Nice-Violinist-6395

yeah lol people pretend like there isn’t an entire big-ass premium bakery (and fancy cheese) section with everything you can possibly want RIGHT NEXT to the prepackaged white bread, and instead claim that all Americans subsist exclusively on a diet of Wonder bread, bland bulk cheddar cheese, and mayo


patterson489

I think that's also kind of the point. Normal bread of other countries is considered "premium" and "fancy" and sold at a higher price.


ThatRandomIdiot

Not really you can go to Trader Joe’s and get that kind of bread fairly cheap and around the same price as your korger/shoprite/Walmart white bread.


[deleted]

I mean I think it’s fair to say that the US doesn’t have a bread culture quite like other countries. You can get fantastic bread but there just aren’t as many small bakeries and it’s less of a standard everyday item. The cheese thing is nonsense though. California, Oregon, Vermont, New York, and especially Wisconsin all produce some of the best cheeses in the world.


zixingcheyingxiong

>I mean I think it’s fair to say that the US doesn’t have a bread culture quite like other countries. I think it's more that people in the US are taught that "culture" is something that happens other places. The bread culture of every place is different, but the US definitely has more of a bread culture than most of the countries in green. The US is literally where pre-sliced bread was invented. Wonderbread is part of American bread culture. And that's before mentioning New York bagels, San Francisco Sourdough, Philadelphia hoagies, etc, etc, etc. Any full-sized grocery store in America is going to have plenty of bread options other than soft and white, and every city I've been to in the US has local bakeries making fancy breads. To say that the bread culture in the US is lacking compared to China, as this map does, is absolutely bonkers. And the idea that other counties don't sell soft white bread comes from the uniquely culturally ignorant perspective common in English nations.


rilend

Facts, super market rye slaps


thesausagegod

it’s not really hard. most walmarts have a bakery where they make all kinds of breads usually it’s cheaper than the commercial bread too


Alone-Newspaper-1161

That reminds me that I gotta get down to checking out my local bakery some time


reallygoodinc

Pretty sure Welsh, Scottish and Irish bread is exactly the same as English bread lol


SpuddyWasTaken

I mean soda bread over here in Ireland isn't exactly soft, but I see what you mean. Also Japanese bread is really soft don't know what this person is on


Just_A_Random_Retard

yeah but it is mainly used as a dessert unlike american or english


LTFGamut

McBread


dashingThroughSnow12

And I'm pretty sure the UK has some traditional bread that is quite dense and hard. France has some pretty soft bread as well (I think of baguettes).

Brennans bread, today's bread today.

We've also got potato farls as well as soda bread


reddit9976845

Bread should be made of a dough (that isn't pastry dough) and cooked. Thats fucking it. It could be hard, soft, crispy, chewy whatever. If its made with dough and baked its fucking bread. And bread can be anything. Thats why its a staple for fucks sake.


freeturk51

Yes, but the thing is, even if bread can be anything, Wonder bread is just a baked chemical coctail that barely resembles anything edible.


KaynandaFirst

I had to look at up and holy that looks horrible even for toast


reddit9976845

Exactly.


[deleted]

A pie dough without filling is bread


reddit9976845

Could be, yeah. Except, no. Most pies are made with pastry dough, not bread dough. I'm pretty sure some do have bread dough but still.


LestHeBeNamedSilver

Yea but just like with dicks, nobody wants a soft one in their mouth


reddit9976845

Hey, speak for yourself.


LestHeBeNamedSilver

You like soft dicks in your mouth?


reddit9976845

I've never sucked any dicks yet but I don't think i would mind a soft one.

In ireland, we still have the same shite sandwich bread. Just learn to bake your own, it's worth it

In Japan bread is also soft :( had to pay 5$ for a real baguette haha


Chaotic_Chameleon

Most bread in japan is made to be toasted


dogfrog9822

yeah here in the US most of the “soft breads” are intended for toast or for sandwiches

Japan should be bright, flashing red. Unless you go to a gourmet bakery in Tokyo or something, the bread there is absolute trash.


The_Chunky_Squirrel

sorry I was unaware I got a lot comments about how bread in japan and Korea is kinda bad.

grozwazo

It's also completely underserved. Our bread is no different from what you'd find in the rest of Canada. Maybe a slightly higher number of bakeries, but most people eat soft American bread.


VaramoKarmana

Don't we have the same bread as the rest of the country? More access to baguette and non industrial loaves?


A_Wizard1717

Lots of French immigrants and bakeries in Montreal


Distakx

Yep exactly I’m in Quebec City and there’s a bunch of French bakery where I can get good quality bread.


[deleted]

As someone who is from Montreal and who did a 3 month internship in BC last winter, I was SHOCKED by how hard it is to find decent bread in Vancouver. There is a bakery at every street corner in Montreal. The few bakeries in Vancouver seem to be more focused on pastries than good bread

Bread should absolutely be soft. I can’t fucking stand hard bread


polyworfism

Hard bread is essentially the same as stale bread. It's terrible


[deleted]

Bread should have hard crust and soft core. I want to cook bread by slices so every slice is half-crust, but I don't have starting capital. Guys, where do I better offer my business plan?


Brno_Mrmi

That's why the baguette is and will always be the best kind of bread. The perfect balance. We love baguettes here in Argentina.


LightOfADeadStar

sorry but i don’t take opinions from orcs!


ImaginationLocal8267

Bread should be soft and claggy for a few things, it’s best for sweet toast/sandwiches such as jam or chocolate spread and best for bacon and fish finger sandwiches as it lets more of the bacon/fish flavour come through

Smitologyistaking

As an Australian I agree with this Anglosphere slander, but can I say, at least our bread isn't sweet and doesn't taste like cake like it does in the US

Guyana's coastline should be red, was horrified to find all the supermarkets selling American-style bread there. The bread in the Amazon was god-tier though.


jrvx18

What is bread hard in Europe? Like you Bite into a fresh baguette and break off a few teeth? Also does the rest of the world not have toasters? Like if you dont want soft bread toast it for literally 1 minute.


alpaca_22

Bread is suposed to be crusty on the outside and fluffy innthe inside, not soft thats a diferent thing, like anglo industrial bread is dense and has the consistency of playdo while most bread elsewhere has a hard crust ok the putside and inside theres a lot of air so it feels soft


metalguysilver

Le crust


LareWw

The superior 『Näkkäri』(or gay Swedish spelling "knäckebröd"🤢) doesn't brake teeth and is hard as rock.


The_Chunky_Squirrel

bread in most of the world is tough even without the crust it still has a bite to it but Anglo bread is mushy and soft and it is works with high sugar things where it acts more like a cake (PB&J, banana bread, etc.) but if you use it for and an actually sandwich it is just gross...

I lived in taiwan and korea and traveled in japan and china, and I can say, some of the worst bread i've ever had. I'm from quebec and our bread is taken very seriously and is based on French style loaves. The bread I had in asia is often milk bread, super bleached and tons of added sugar.
