I double checked and industrial bread doesn’t mold because they add E282, E250 etc which are mold inhabitants :) And the lack of moistness is an expression of cheap ingredients, fast process and the end product being premade frozen almost breads that just have to be heated in the store.
The nonindustrial bread doesn’t spoil immediately because… Why would it? Put it in a warm environment with no air access and it will?
- Comment on A succulent meal 1 day ago:
No, on the contrary,
Well, if by “spoil” you mean “make inedible”, then moistness makes the bread edible longer (because it slowly evaporates from outside in, and while it does you can still eat the bread). It will be a little stale, sure, but properly stored a loaf of non-industrial bread becomes a dry brick 7-8 days after buying.
The industrial bread becomes dry like a desert within 2-3 days.
If by “spoil” you mean “get rotten” then yeah, improperly stored bread could get mold - I was unable to achieve that result at home though, and I literally just keep it in a cotton bag. At the same time industrial bread will get dry very very fast so the likeliness of mold when improperly stored is less.
- Comment on A succulent meal 1 day ago:
imagine a higher water content might make it spoil faster.
No, but if improperly stored in the store it could get mold, and it’s more expensive to make.
- Comment on A succulent meal 1 day ago:
Then it’s slightly better industrial bread (was it baguette?), but yeah. Leavens or emulsifiers or weird making process lead to it. Like they also used one of the water retaining emusifiers instead of proper starch content - those tend to keep moistness for up to 48h since baking and then it evaporates instantly.
Non industrial bread keeps water longer, but more importantly loses it more gradually and from the outside in (so that at least the “core” is still moist).
- Comment on A succulent meal 1 day ago:
How long does it keep the moistness? Is it still moist the next day? What about day after that?
- Comment on A succulent meal 1 day ago:
Crumb must be crumby, but “flesh” of the bread should be moist (do not confuse it with soft). Properly made bread shouldn’t be wet or chewy.
When making bread you add water to the dough. Starch will keep the water and when baking, the flesh should retain it spread evenly. Industrial bread often dehydrates/dries it, as that’s how it works with their emulsifiers or leavens - don’t ask me why though, it’s just my observation.
And you can be sure that dry bread is either old stale bread or fresh industrial breas.

super dry breads
Technically that’s not bread. That’s… Hm… Wheat scratcher? Anywho, a proper bread with no industrial processing is moist. :)

- Comment on Epstein Files Reveal How Pathetic Richard Dawkins & Other Men Are 1 week ago:
Well, he has defended pedophilia in the past
A survivor of child molestation encoded the molestation “as not that bad, see I turned out all right” and for some reason instead of people telling him “dude, I’m so sorry this happened to you” he’s getting called “defender of pedophiles”.
Is it because he’s a man?
- Comment on Epstein Files Reveal How Pathetic Richard Dawkins & Other Men Are 1 week ago:
The video is 30 minutes long, I’m not watching that. Could someone who watched it answer this question:
What does Richard Dawkins did according to Epstein files? Or is it just a title bait?

I mean they have weird taste in Denmark :)

They eat licorice in Denmark, so…

So what does it actually do?
It replaces the launcher (“desktop”) of your phone with something else. Maybe something faster, or using less resources, or something you can customize to your taste.

And you did utilize the fruits you had, but there never was an abundance of them like for example in medieval Italy.
- Comment on in all fairness italian cuisine is a relatively recent invention 2 weeks ago:
Yes. Historically British Isles had meh climate for fruit production. You could either forage for berries, but fruits were mostly seasonal apples or pears or plums, but the harvest seasons were rather short.

And if you were to say, for example, that pasta with tomato sauce is an Italian dish, I’d argue it’s not, as pasta was eaten across the whole Europe, and likely first added tomato happened in Britain.
Bolognese sauce with pasta on the other hand would definitely be Italian dish. Do you see the distinction?
- Comment on in all fairness italian cuisine is a relatively recent invention 2 weeks ago:
Fair.
Polish rosół is much more similar to French consomme than to ramen though. The stretch to ramen would be rather significant.
- Comment on in all fairness italian cuisine is a relatively recent invention 2 weeks ago:
I mean even scrambled eggs is too much for any Italian hotel or breakfast restaurant I’ve been to. Like literally as if they made it mediocre on purpose.
- Comment on in all fairness italian cuisine is a relatively recent invention 2 weeks ago:
They make good meat dishes (roasts, meat pies), but then they pair them with the most uninspiring sides…
I mean… British were always shafted by their nobility. The land wasn’t known for fruits or sweet veggies, the rent in UK paid to the landlord was relatively high, so most peasants ate pickles, chutneys or different mushed veggies as sides.
- Comment on in all fairness italian cuisine is a relatively recent invention 2 weeks ago:
But has British food historically been good? No, it has not.
Oh boy. You should Google that, because you couldn’t be more wrong.
- Comment on in all fairness italian cuisine is a relatively recent invention 2 weeks ago:
Well, turns out that for the past few hundred years me cooks were only the talented ones or those that had interest, while for women it was not a choice.
- Comment on in all fairness italian cuisine is a relatively recent invention 2 weeks ago:
Out of the food you mentioned only Beef Wellington and English Breakfast/Ulster Fry/ are uniquely British. Everything else is either not a dish (fried sausage and potatoes definitely is not a dish you philistine :P).
Pork pies, fish and chips, roast, shepherds pie - it is eaten in Britain, but is not unique to them, as was historically eaten across the whole Europe (I mean it is fish and chips, it didn’t need “inventing”)
- Comment on in all fairness italian cuisine is a relatively recent invention 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, no, Italians can’t make breakfast for shit.
Coffee and a cake does not breakfast make.
