A thread to discuss all things bread.

What are your favourite types of bread? How much bread do you eat? With what other food you eat it?

Such a random bread! I mean....thread.

My favorite type of bread is honey and wheat. I usually eat it with spaghetti!

I only eat whole wheat. It better for you, and white bread tastes awful to me anyway. if I have the money for it, I love eating more fancy bread, like the ones with tons of grains and nuts and stuff in it.

I love grilled cheese sandwiches.

I never realized how important the own kind of bread can be until my students exchange to the US.

No offense to anyone, but much (not all) of the bread I ate in America was so suggared that it would qualify as candy in some parts of the world

I won't pretent to be much of a black bread eater, but an occasional slice especially if it comes in combination with cheese and a bit of white bread can be a real delight. With most of the stuff to be put on them I prefer rye rolls over the light wheat based ones. It doesn't hurt if there is some actuall grain attached to it either

*puts hand up* I like bread, especially when it turns into toast. But bread is also nice when it's not toast. Toast just has that extra, crunchiness, non-breadness taste to it. Then again, I like having sandwhiches as well, very tasty that is.

Er....uh....all hail the bread!

Indeed, if it weren't for bread, sandwiches would not exist! And all sane people know that sandwiches are among the 5 great foodstuffs of the multiverse.

I love tiger bread! Not too awesome for sandwiches cuz of the crust, but tiger bread + butter...*drool*

Not to mention it has a cool name!

My most favorite is my homemade multigrain bread, but I also have other favorites:

*Pumpernickel
*Rye
*Ezekiel brand of bread
*Nine grain or higher bread

My carbs usually come from complex carbs and not refined carbs, so I very seldom consume the whiter breads and pastas. And Malte is right, most of our store-bought bread is indeed rather sweet in flavor.

An image would say more than my limited English vocabulary when it comes to bread.

This is pretty much the bread I eat every day. It's not white bread (can't digest that), but light brown. I usually eat it with peanut butter and chocolate sprinkles (yes, both on 1 slice)

I eat 1 slice every morning and 2 in the afternoon, usually combined with a glass of Reduced Fat milk.

I would like to try that homemade multigrain bread, Cancerian Tiger. Do you bake your own bread? If you do, can I propose to you?

My favourite type of bread is white (whole wheat) round bread with a thick crust. Something like this.

They are not sweet at all. But they make a lot of crumbs when you slice them.
These types of bread are very popular in the more rural parts of Croatia, like the one where I live in. In large cities people eat rolled breads, just like you Westerners do.

My family of four usually eats a kilo of bread a day. We eat it with almost all meals, even if the meal is predominantly pasta. We don't eat bread only with soup and sweet meals, like pasta with sour cream and cheese.
