Is the brioche in your third point sweet?

Here in France brioche is kinda like cake bread: flour, salt, yeast, sugar, eggs, a fuckton of butter.

In America all bread is so full of sugar that it’s all cake bread. Brioche in America is a cake bun.

  True.
  
  I still remember when Ireland decided that Subway couldn’t call their bread bread because due to the amount of sugar it contained it actually was cake according to the law.
  
  And I’m really disappointed that we - French - missed an opportunity to gatekeep bread.

Living in the US, the last time I tried to buy “Brioche” bread (Sara Lee was the brand), it was just like eating a sandwich made with a dense shortbread.
