American bread is very sweet and soft. It's practically cake.
While i enjoy root beer, literally all of my family back home think it's horrid.
With some exceptions, American sweets/candies (including chocolates) have a bizarre flavor that i can't quite put into words.
American spinach and chickens both have practically no flavour and the reason for this is the same for the two of them: they're harvested too soon. Even "full grown" spinach in America isn't actually full grown.
Fruits sold in the US, especially grapes, strawberries and pears, tend to taste watered down. I find this particularly bizarre because not all produce sold in America is grown in America yet strawberries in the US will still tend to taste of vaguely strawberry-ish nothing.
American tomato ketchup is absolutely horrible. Doesn't even taste of tomato.
That's all i can think of right off the bat.

t. Euro living in Ameriland

>>19274901
It absolutely is. The vast vast vast vast VAST majority of bread sold in the US have sugar added to it for some reason and 38,526,626,841 dough conditioning additives to make them soft enough for the American palate. And it's not there to "feed the yeast." That's stupid. Yeasts don't need it. They can eat flour just fine on its own without the sugar. The fact is that Americans tend to like things a lot sweeter than many countries do. And that's fine. No need to get defensive about it. Just accept that you're so accustomed to it that you don't even notice.
It's like Croatians and their formerly salty ass bread. To anyone visiting Croatia back in the day, the bread was terribly salty (1 tsp in just 4 slices) but a few years ago, when Croatia noticed an enormous spike in blood pressure related illnesses, da gubmint incentivised bakeries to use less salt over time
They practically weaned an entire nation off of a higher sodium diet over the span of a few years.
Now, if trying bread the way it was made prior, Croatians will find it too salty, just like erryone else did

He's right about the bread, to an extent. Most in-store bakeries are not putting out good product, even though it's better than the even more shelf-stable stuff. Some do, though. Some also just buy from local bakeries at wholesale prices to give them volume sales (I worked for one such bakery, and we'd deliver to stores an hour away on a daily basis). Those stores often have good bread, but they also charge a lot more for it on average.

I've had supermarket bakery bread and it's still quite sweet. If you wanna talk supermarket bakeries, Lidl, believe it or not, has the best one I've been to in the US. And in my experience, the brown/whole wheat bread is even sweeter than the white is. Rye bread is a crapshoot.
The only beads I've found here that aren't sweetened are some from the now dwindling numbers of Italian and Polish bakeries, and even those aren't guaranteed to be unsweetened. Also "artisan" (IE overpriced) bakeries.

>>19275263
Anon isn't retarded. I used to work as a baker. Were i to go anywhere after work, whoever i happened to be with would be likely to comment that i smelled of cinnamon or bread, depending on which bakery job i had at the time (used to work at a place known for cinnamon rolls then a bread bakery). However, i didn't even notice because i got used to the smell over time. And that was only a couple years. You can't really blame anon for not noticing just how sweet American bread tends to be after at least two decades of acclimation.
As for the produce, i didn't know that about the strawberries. I've grown onions hydroponically and they were some of the blandest shit I've ever had so whether what you're saying is true or not, it's at the very least believable.

Yeah American bread is very sweet tastes like cake. Hershey's aswell is the obvious one. Coca cola too is disgusting in America basically anything involving sweetness in America is fucking horrible. I think they use high fructose corn syrup for just about everything instead of actual sugar or honey.
But aside from that the food in America is actually ok. Like the meat is generally decent quality although loaded with hormones and as unrefined as it is it's kinda like every American dish is a guilty pleasure. The problem is it's all like that. There's no real just average not unhealthy meal regular meal like the rest of the world has. Everything is excess all day everyday and that in itself gets sickening very fast.
You don't have the standard rice with a side of of boiled veggies and a fried egg daily pretty good meal like rest of the world has.

We do, just not in restaurants, until you get to cities where people eat at restaurants every day. You start finding some places that are everyday sort of eateries, but even then, they're not an every-block sort of deal. You will have maybe 2 or 3 of those within 10 city blocks.

But what is it? What's the American version of simple rice and eggs daily go to meal most people most of the time? It seems like Americans eat luxury foods only everyday but somewhat justify it by having a wider range. Ie. Pizza on Monday kebab Tuesday Pad Thai Wednesday's, MacDonald's Thursdays, pastas friday taco Saturdays and roast on Sunday. Normally these level of meals are eaten once or twice a week in their respective nations and the rest of the week is something quite plain. But in America you eat that level of food every meal and as such it loses its actual flavour and dulls the taste buds and forces Americans to manafacturer more hsrdcore and luxury versions of these meals to compete with their own over indulged tastes.

Not in the USA. A regular chicken takes about 100 days to grow to full size. In the USA thanks to the hormones and steroids the meats are given there it takes that same chicken 45 days. Cattle is even worse. Everything in America is enhanced with hormones and steroids and artificial flavours. And for sure the food is amazing but it's not actually food and it severely limits Americans ability to actually appreciate food and causes shit to get out of hand m.

I had ranch for the first time a few years ago at a neighbourhood barbecue. I had it with buffacued wings (that's what they were called; buffalo-style flavouring, but cooked on the barbecue rather than deep-fried)
It was very good.
I was told it was Hidden Valley brand so I went out and bought a bottle.
It was very bad.
I mentioned it to the neighbour who introduced me to ranch that the one I bought was shit and she told me that it has to be /the packet HV ranch mix/ because all pre-mixed ranch tastes like poopshits for some reason, even HV itself.
I bought a packet and she was right.

Farm style food, is the best way I can describe it, though that is outdated as well, since farm food is generally higher in fat than is recommended now. An egg or two cooked however (usually scrambled or fried), usually people have a few preferred starches out of oatmeal, grits, cream of wheat, or toast. In the farm days, biscuits and pancakes were much more common at home, which are now more restaurant or weekend (as that's when normies do yard work and sport type recreation) sorts of food for healthy eaters that aren't doing harder labor. Lunch and dinner are similarly simple, usually with lunch being much more about a sandwich, maybe soup and small sandwich of sorts, dinner focusing on a simple protein, starch, and vegetable eg: pork chop, chicken or fish fillet, steak or roasts on occasion; green beans, carrots, broccoli, peas, corn, whatever, generally tossed with a little butter and seasoned on the simplest end of things; potatoes or pasta in one of their infinite iterations, corn bread, rice, beans, tortillas (as you get into the SW). And the SW brings up another point. Things change drastically on a regional basis. Europeans and Asians often forget that your countries are typically smaller than our states.

America is way too ethnically diverse for any kind of singular regular plain meal. I guarantee there are a few million asians here who regularly eat an egg with rice and veggies for breakfast. Mexicans might have an egg and tortilla with salsa. Midwesterners go for an egg and toast. And of course, any group might flip between these regardless of their own ethnicity.

It’s not like France where literally everyone buys fresh bread every day. When you think of us you think of cheeseburgers and pizza because everyone likes those. I can’t remember the last time I had one but yeah I’d say they’re good examples of American food because every American has had them before. If you really want to find a ‘healthy’ choice, I’d say a baked potato is also very universal. Fatties might smother it with cheese and bacon but you can also go with broccoli and a bit of sour cream.

Our food culture is the only thing about America that I’m ashamed of. Never been outside of NA but it seems like most other places have an emphasis on whole ingredients and cooking every meal for yourself- that’s just what normal people do. Over here being that kind of “foodie” is a hobby, most people don’t do that and are impressed when someone can run to the grocery store and put a good meal together within an hour. Maybe some people aren’t so bad and grab a pre packed salad for lunch and throw a cold sandwich together for dinner but obviously you have the other extreme of obeasts eating literally nothing but processed foods and sugar water drinks.

I don’t know any families who still sit at a table for dinner together every night. Best you’ll get is everyone watching tv together with a plate on their lap.

Southern California. I grew up lower middle class and have many friends in that lifestyle. Also got a scholarship to go to a fairly elite college so have some friends who grew up very wealthy. For all of them, dinner together as a family is only done on special occasions like Christmas, a birthday, maybe some special achievement. And for those (except Christmas) they’d usually go out anyway.

Maybe it’s just Californians who are fucked idk. Glad to hear you do family dinners as the norm.

And let's be honest.the amount of sugar is likely more like 1.4g per serving. Like how TicTac in America can say on their nutrition labels that there are "0g of sugar per serving" despite being like 95% sugar: because 1 Tic Tac conveniently weighs exactly 0.49g IE the amount of sugar "per serving" is less than half a gram so the FDA allows them to lie and say there's 0 sugar.

When made of buckwheat, it's called galette bretonne and it's commonly filled with spinach, usually mixed with a soft cheese or into a bechamel sauce, and topped either with a bullseye or poached egg or simply has the egg cracked on top and the whole thing baked to set, pic related.

Anon, if a mexican invents something while spain owns mexico, that doesn't make the invention spanish instead of mexican, you know that, right? I suppose there's an issue with technicalities, too- what if the son of two german immigrants in american invents something? Is it an american invention? what if that son doesn't know a word of english? Raised german? How does one classify such things?
I'd also grant a partial for the meatloaf; it's a generic dish with regional differences the world over

traditionally cornbread was made with soup-like dishes and you would crumble up the cornbread in the bottom to help soak up liquid and provide textural differences, kind of like rice with curry or grits and gumbo

>sugar in bread
For the Japanese, bread is a snack, and they do not feel uncomfortable with the sweetness of it.
However, rice is our staple food, so we feel very uncomfortable with porridge boiled with milk and sugar.

not in poultry but there is in cattle.

but it's true that the food isn't as different as people would like to believe. they just don't consume such an abundance of fried food drenched in oil sauces. the brits do and they're as fat as americans. the rest of europe is catching up, too. they're all much fatter than they were 10 years ago.

you euros are doing yourselves a disservice assuming the food is just wildly different in composition because you're more likely to make the same mistakes if you think like that

Hey dumbshit, I live in America, I'm intimately familiar with the hot dog selection from the 9 different supermarkets within 2 miles of my house and there are zero national brands of 100% pork hot dogs in any of them, much as your photo fucking proves, you drivelling goddamn retard. Like I motherfucking said: it's at best regional and only SoCal has 100% pork hot dogs commonly available at supermarkets.

I would pay that if they were 100% pork hot dogs. I practically do already anyway when I get them from the Polish smokehouse but I want the convenience of just going to the supermarket to buy that shit rather than drive to the middle of the shitty area where the butcher/smokehouse is.

i've noticed this as well when watching american homebrewers
>and now we're going to backsweeten
they literally dump a bunch of sugar or sweeteners in the end result every single time, i don't want my cider to taste like soda so i always skip that part
there is someone who's doing a bunch of recipes from a winemaking book from the 60's. he literally can't finish a taste testing with "yeah this really could use some backsweetening"
my theory is that in the 60's they weren't dumping loads of sugar and HFCS in everything yet
they can't help it because they don't know any better but it's very noticable

[Anonymous No.19291615]

>>19291472
Watch people making nicer stuff and there's little if any backsweetening. Of course you need an ass load of sugar for cider made with sweet apples instead of normal cider apples. There's no acid or tannins in them so it tastes like shit dry. Most people making hooch from juice of such low quality it goes to Motts or Ocean Spray don't have TA kits and a variety of powdered wine making tannins to choose from and try to balance things. All that leaves you is sucrose if lazy, or invert sugar if you want to spend 20 minutes on bottom shelf juice for marginal improvement over sucrose. Dextrose(corn sugar) is overpriced and high fructose corn syrup is nearly impossible to find. I pay out the nose for it special order to make candy. The shit in stores in fake corn syrup, look at the ingredients. They add stuff that prevents it from working. HFCS is used to reduce sugar intake because it's so, much sweeter, or for other properties like not crystallizing and ruining gummy candy texture. Maybe they'll add a shot of lemon juice or oversteeped tea for adjusting acid or tannin, but it's less straightforward than just masking shitty ingredients with moar sugar.
My theory is in the 60s people weren't using filtered pasteurized low quality grocery store juice in their country wines, so it tasted better. Additionally yeast strains didn't attenuate nearly as much compared to the current genetic marvels that can damn near ferment a brick.

he exclusively uses actual fruit for these recipes, and as long as you don't go significantly above 12% almost every yeast strain can handle the abv even those from 50 years ago
if it isn't fermented dry he always mentions it so i'm pretty sure it's not that

That's like 38g/l or ten teaspoons. Does seem kind of high. Not quite as high as coke which is over 100/L. Solidly in the medium dry/semi sweet range for wine, so it's high. I am not familiar with his videos so I might watch later to be able to know what I'm commenting on. I still suspect choice of actual fruit would be an influence on his perceived need to backsweeten to this level. I don't know what he used but if I'm making good cider it doesn't start with red delicious. General rule in cider is the worst tasting apples make the best cider so that's what has me thinking about choices of fruit. Mango is usually a miss more often than hit for when I use it. Needed a lot of sweetening. Two tablespoons/liter just to become drinkable. Strawberry cider on the other hand, strawberry seeds and all blended in with shitty grocery store juice was just fine without adding any sugar at bottling. Cranberry wine I make medium dry but hibiscus doesn't need as much.
