[@erichanastacio9695]

Me: Instead of bread slices, I do sometimes use biscuits on ham, cheese, and bacon sandwiches. For me, biscuits/cookies are just hardened bread It's NOT weird... It's just unusual. =========== McDonald's once used steamed rice as bread replacement for their burger bun sandwiches as a promotional gimmick.

​@MosukaDreamer melon bread look similar to conchas (mexican sweetbread) so you might have some luck at a local panaderia (Mexican/Latino bakery). I tried melon bread years ago since there's a Japanese bakery in California and its not much of a difference.

[@justmutantjed]

Yeah, seriously. I work in a liquor store. I get either locals coming back from vacation or vacationers visiting looking for something from 1500+ miles away and I gotta tell 'em, "Sorry, not only have I never heard of it (not like that's all that big a claim on its own, given that my own frame of reference is mostly one island in the Pacific Northwest) but it's entirely possible that W beer from X microbrewery in Y city, Z state, might not be distributed this far away." At least most folks are cool about it, but some people insist that we're holding out on them or otherwise specifically trying to inconvenience them. I'd love to make everyone happy, but down that road lies piles of expired products followed by bankruptcy.

[@wolflinggon5664]

Had that happen too. A general store I was working at was closing and one of the last days we were open, my store manager brought all of the employees some nice framed artwork that she had from her previous job (she used to own a shop where she would frame paintings, prints, etc…) to give as parting gifts. The framed artwork was leaning against the wall under a sign that said Not for Sale, please don’t touch. Had a couple of women argue that because they were in the store they should be allowed to buy them. Then when they were refused multiple times, they claimed bad customer service was why we were shutting down. The store shut down because it was literally built because the district manager wanted a store near her home. It was NOT profitable in 10 years and alot of that was because it was in a low income part of town where there was ALOT of theft. Which we weren’t allowed to do anything about… in fact we were blamed when people walked out with hundreds of dollars of stolen stuff

[@theblackwidower]

​@@wolflinggon5664If it's in the store, you should be allowed to buy it? That's their argument? Did they ask to buy the cash registers and shelving units as well? I need some lighting fixtures, just tear them out of the ceiling.

I was working in a construction site one time, and an apprentice was sent to get the lunch order from the bakery. One of the guys asked if he could get him a corned beef doughnut. So he asked the woman in the bakery for this. She said, “I’m so sorry, we just ran out.” It took him a long time to live that one down I can tell you.

[@NighDarke]

You ought to do cookie sandwiches. They're hella popular where I live. The local bakery runs out of them before noon on average. They make the ones with buttercream so they don't have to keep them frozen.

@@JCArules13 It starts with little changes my dear. Unhealthy stuff tastes good and it's comfy if you don't have to made your snacks yourself. Therefore it would be in great demand and would soon displace the more healthier options. That's how the obesity pandemic was made possible. By a higher availability of caloric dense food products and the seduction effect. And I know this due to a drastic change in my formerly communist home country, since the introduction of those kind of food products.

[@Eli20156]

Someone asked me if I was spreading ice cream on bread when I said I was eating an ice cream sandwich. No it is Oreo and from the freezer isle 😂

[@Mokiefraggle]

I mean, in some parts of the world, they _do_ serve ice cream in soft bread buns...mostly in parts of Southeast Asia, if I recall. Like, you take a brioche or other type of sweet, buttery bread that will stand up to the ice cream melting into it, split it halfway, then serve a couple scoops of ice cream tucked inside of that little pouch you've made. A bit like filling a cream puff with ice cream instead of whipped cream or custard.

[@WiFiDown37811]

Obviously cloud bread is bread made out of clouds 🙄 Or maybe it's bread that's made _on_ clouds...

[@JLT0087]

I forget the recipe, but its a type of gluten free bread.

[@shieldgenerator7]

[@pg4662]

The gluten free cake thing reminds me of when I called to my local sandwich shop and there were 2 women being served in front of me. The server asked if they wanted butter in their sandwiches, one turned to the other and said, oh wait, X has a lactose intolerance she can't have milk, then her friend said yes, but it's OK, she can have butter! The server and I just looked at each other with wide eyes, when she just said, OK, no butter then as ours has milk in it. The 2 of them just went, oh, OK, thanks!!

[@epa2113]

For the record, as someone who has to avoid lactose - butter actually has almost no lactose in it, and even less if it's cultured. The last step of buttermaking (washing the butter) removes almost all of the lactose... it runs off in the water & sweet buttermilk, very little is trapped in the solidified cream. If it's cultured, that reduces the amount of lactose even further. It ends up being very dependent on the individual. Most/many lactose-intolerant people can have butter with no real problem, and some can't. Ask, don't assume. If someone says they can have butter, they probably can. If they say they can't... well, let them know that there is such a thing as lactose-free butter these days (Green Valley makes one), but it's not common. Of course, these ladies were speaking for someone else... so it's a little less certain that they knew what they were doing. 😆

[@pg4662]

@epa2113 yes thanks, i actually wondered about that because I have an intolerance to certain things, but I should have elaborated, she did actually say there's no milk in butter. But thank you, because I think it's important we share knowledge. Have a good day.

So apparently "cloud bread" is some kind of carb-free keto "bread" alternative made from meringue and dairy. It apparently becomes more "bread-like" if allowed to sit and cool. Sounds like an omelet with too many extra steps... Cloud "bread", veggie 'burgers", cauliflower "rice", heck, keto anything...

The gluten free one might have been solveable. The person wanted a cake that can be enjoyed by anyone like normal cake. There are enough gluten free flour mixtures that would make a baked gluten free cake taste like any other cake. Maybe the customer was less weird than you thought. People without deeper knowledge sometimes have weird definitions of stuff. I usually ask for a definition of what someone wants if I think we have a misunderstanding. Maybe she thought all gluten free cakes taste strange or have no flour. 😅 of course there is another option to have only a small gluten free cake and a big normal one 😊
