That's rather weird, I've spent 4 years living about 200km from Nordkapp and the only grocery stores that didn't offer a wide variety of fresh, unsliced loafs were the really small ones. Sorry for giving unasked advice, but I'd try to search around town for a store that sells them because I find it hard to believe that not one of them would sell fresh bread, also depending on the time you go shopping it's not impossible (though unlikely) that all of it gets sold out before you get there. I'd recommend that you ask and employee if they know were you could buy "fullkorn", unsliced bread. With all that said, if it there truly is no good bread wherever you live, I'm sorry for your loss.

Fresh tastes better but sliced supermarket is still v v good, the key difference being supermarket shelf Vs. Fresh. In bakeries they will even slice the fresh bread for you, so slicing bread does not equal making it worse

@@cancerino666 Interesting points, but I have some notes. 1) A loaf of store brand sliced bread costs a dollar, maybe 2 dollars at some stores (prices vary in different areas, but where I live, that is the standard). Also, a lot of foods are cheaper in “Europe”, though prices vary wildly depending on the country. Post-Soviet countries especially have very cheap food by American standards, and the entire EU is a free trade zone, so I don’t think the saturation of the “bread market” has anything to do with it. 2) As for poor urban planning, that isn’t the issue. The problem is that the loaf goes bad too quickly, especially if you live alone, so you have to pay for a whole second loaf that will also go bad too quickly. It has nothing to do with cars or infrastructure. It’s just economics, plain and simple. I acknowledge that really good bread exists, and that sandwiches and toast aren’t the only applications of bread. Bread can be a meal all on its own, and for that, a hearty and tasty loaf of bread is better than sliced bread, but for most people in America, bread is an ingredient instead of a meal, and sliced bread fills that role well. Edit: One more quick note regarding frozen bread. If I want a sandwich, but all I have is frozen bread, then what exactly are my options? I don’t want toast, so the toaster is useless. The oven will do the toaster’s job in way more time. The stove will crisp up the outside before thawing the inside, and the microwave will leave it soggy.

1. Bread is just ground grain mixed with water and yeast, risen and baked. There's no reason why ultra processed breads with added toxins should be cheaper; This is the problem with the American food industry in general. 2. That's subjective 3. Yes, we know how preservatives work. The problem is, if you're eating foods that give you metabolic diseases and put you into an early grave, it kinda defeats the point. European countries with far less preservatives and other chems in their food seem to feed their people just fine, and it would be odd of we of the super rich industrialized United States of America just could not find a way to produce cheap food that's not toxic. 4. The act of pre-slicing the bread isn't really what the vid is complaining about, so much as using it as a beginning point in talking about bread quality. 5. The sweetness of typical American sandwich bread is one thing, but you think bread can't taste good without ultra processed flour and preservatives?

Bakers still slice the normal bread. Just buy bread at the local bakery. If not possible you have my deepest sympathy. Have great day

not all lidls have the bread cutting machine, but I much prefer to just tear it primal style anyway. what I want is for pre-sliced packaged bread to not b this shit and to prove it is not the invention of the century but a decrease in quality for the sake of convenience.

Moroccan here; I could say that we still have a strong bread culture, from flatbread (similar to that of the romans) to baguettes, we have variety and the importance of freshness (a bread two days after being made is already old) , and I really love to hear that many Europeans share the same sentiment, and I trust that other Arab and even Africans and Asians would feel the same too. Also, I just find it hilarious how American/ First world problems get always turned and twisted into "world problems".

I'm glad in Europe (I'm from Poland) everyone eats normal real bread and not that sliced shit. Idk how in other countries but here in Poland, american "sliced bread" is marketed as "toast bread" as in bread only good for making toasts. Also the audacity for a lot of Americans to use the phrase "___ is the greatest invention since the sliced bread"

I didn't know sliced bread was... this! I thought it was just regular bread, but sliced. The audacity! I'm shocked! This is outrageous! It's literally 1984. Americans don't even know they're bread deprived because the world has been stolen away from them, all substance taken away!

To be fair, the saying is a bit outdated. I've never heard anyone say it outside of old TV shows. Much of America idolizes the innovations of the 1920-50s without realizing how our convenience and entertainment has robbed us of the necessary qualities of life

I’m American, and it’s not a common saying anymore. If you use it around anyone under the age of 25, they’ll probably look at you funny. And if you use it around American teenagers, they’ll probably make fun of you. I haven’t heard anybody say it at all within the last five years.

i feel its unfair to be calling *sliced bread* bad because the bread you're talking about is this specific American bread that just happened to be pre-sliced. We call it plastic bread because it tastes like plastic and also lasts for very long before going bad (this is bad because real bread goes bad a lot quicker)

if you are in a german supermarket you can often take fresh bread and put it in a big machine that slices it for you. if you are worried about the shelf life, you can freeze bread but than it won't taste as good (still better than that cake-like toast) and you can put the frozen slice directly into the toaster. that's what I often do when I'm lazy. This way you can store it virtually forever.

Personally I don't like bread. I think bread became obsolete when plates and forks were invented because it's only purpose is to keep your hands clean while you hold the real food that's inside the bread. And when I hear Europeans call American bread cake, it convinces me that Europe must be a continent full of bland and disappointing cakes.

It improves standardization of sandwiches. Adding too much meat, too much mustard, too much mayo, and too much butter are already issues- adding too much bread would throw my sandwich variation out of balance further. This was my defense thank you.

The good thing is that Europe never really fell for the sliced bread meme. But in the sense of murica it does make sense that this kind of bread developed, due to their insistence on long shelf life and convenience.
