Bread in stores

SharkE — Mon, 09 Dec 2024 15:50:47 GMT

you can't find a good sandwich bread any more.

It's either too dry or has holes running thru it.

Bought one brand for a long time till it started being

dry long before the expiration time.

So, I switched over to another brand. Go to make toast with my favorite Smuckers cherry preserves and it is so hole -e jelly is leaking out all over .

Can't any of these bread bakers bake a decent loaf ?

I couldn't agree more. Every time I purchase bread, it seems like it's beyond it's expiration date. It tastes dry and old. That's because it probably is.

And, yes, they are often with big holes that my peanut butter falls through ... Lol. But mostly, there is no taste of fresh bread. Might as well be eating cardboard. I've thrown away so many loaves.

Thank God I can make my own.

You just want a loaf of bread at the handy all the time to eat with your meals.

Too much to ask I guess.

I quit buying bread years ago. The wheat they use to bake stuff these days is nothing like it was when I was growing up. Today wheat is all GMO which has made the wheat full of gluten and it has significantly lost it's nutritional value. Worthless.

ETA-

It's so bad that they have to 'fortify' the flour with minerals and vitamins to make it anything worth eating.

@SharkE Did you ever try Ezekiel (in the frozen section) or Dave's Killer Bread. I have no problems with either.

Tastes like cardboard is right.

I am fond of rye bread but what's sold has no taste or the texture is too soft. I can buy some from the store bakery section but it's expensive and goes stale quickly. Sigh.

@SharkE. Are you referring to sliced white bread? It has been doughy and awful as long as I remember. In my adult life, I've bought nothing but whole or multi-grain bread. It has some "guts" to it, is much more nutritious, has fiber and no holes. It also keeps a lot longer.

Another bad product is Smuckerrs preserves which they cheapened to a thin jam with no recognizable fruit. Do yourself a favor and try a British import. I got a variety in a box in a QVC gourmet show. World of difference and well worth it. Cherry is my favorite too.

I can't find my current favorite bread. It's Kroger's Private Selection Honey Oat, Their other Private Selection varieties are in the store, but the Honey Oat has disappeared. I hope they haven't discontinued it. It always seems to disappear faster than the others. Currently eating the Multigrain, which is pretty good, but it's got some sort of seed in it that I don't like the flavor of, caraway maybe?

We like the Rudi'a sandwich breads, especially the multigrain oat. Nice texture, no holes, toasts well. Not easy to find though.

This bread. In the frozen food section.

SharkE — Mon, 09 Dec 2024 20:44:23 GMT

I can't eat nothing with seeds in it and don't like that ol'

brown healthy bread. LOL

Had to give up stuff with any kind of nuts in it too like Snickers, etc. d*mn teeth break off and I'm on Fosamax

if a tooth has to be pulled they won't touch you for a month or two till they think Fosamax is out of your system then after the tooth is pulled you can't get back on fosamax for 3 months.

So, I just gave up on all nuts or anything that is to brittle, hard or might pose a tooth breaking off.

Got osteoporosis why I'm taking Fosamax.

Last time I fractured a tooth on a piece of pizza ! Couldn't be saved had to be jerked out. Me and my sister both, yrs. ago broke off a tooth on McDonald's french fries!

I need pitbull teeth ! hhahahahhahah

@SharkE. Bad teeth are definitely genetic. My sister and I also have them, although we always had the best regular dental care, fluoride treatments, etc.

I pressure cook anything that I think may pose a problem meat related. Tx. meat is tough as shoe leather.

don't pressure cook minute steak or hamburger.

Any kind of thicker meat gets browned then pressured.

Thank God I prefer turkey and chicken more.

I'm wearing a 'flipper' when I leave the house. Big tooth was pulled and I didn't want to wait for implant just got a flipper tooth that you put up where the hole is then the wire holds it in. At home I don't give a poop

It's on the side anyway just don't smile to wide. LOL

@SharkE We are Bonne Maman Cherry Preserves folk here. Love the syrup around the cherries! I put in yogurt for a treat.

Bread mostly comes from our Zojirushi 1 lb bread maker, or sometimes Daves bread--one of the ones with high fiber. The Zo bread is whole wheat with a less then 1/4 cup white flour.
