I make my own these days and regularly offer them to guests but I used to buy the stores artisan breads for lunch while working construction when I was young.
The cost to create of a family size loaf of jalapeno and mozzerella stuffed herb focaccia is about $4.87, lower if you cheap out on oil, so theres tons of room for markup even if the store ends up throwing most of it out.
I’m just laughing at “bread” and “proof” but I know they didn’t intend on the pun.
Ok but if you see sliced croissant loaf, fucking buy that shit, buy two, immediately. I don’t even like to shop any more at places where they don’t sell it.
Mind blown!
Je suis venu faire mon français outré mais oublions OP deux minutes ? Qu’est-ce que c’est que ça ???!
C’est juste un gros croissant shapé comme une miche de pain
Tu penses qu’on peut faire tourbillonner correctement le feuilletage en maintenant ce genre de forme ?
Bonne question… Je suis curieux maintenant, je vais aller m’instruire!
disgusted French look of superiority
jkjk it looks like something terrible in a good way.
Cause it’s probably 3/4 butter.
To be fair, the quality of the bread in these mass produced “artisan bakery” sections can be trash tier, like sometimes it’s wonder bread level but even more dry. Idk why they decide to do it. Maybe it was fresh at one point but these displays can get left out all week.

Our local chain, Hannaford, has pretty good stuff actually. Their cakes and pastries are good too. Walmart bakery is trash, but it’s Walmart. They do pizza rolls 👌
Yeah a d by the time you are spending that kind of money on bread, either get it from an actual bakery or make it yourself.

Trailer people, really.
thought the same fucking thing. like, “ok then. go buy some more white wonder bread, ya basic bitch”
I often buy these. But, I always take care noone sees me buying them.
I buy those baguettes and it would be lucky to make it home so I always buy two.
Mmmm especially when they are still warm.
This is the way. Don’t let OP know about us.

The bread is a decoration indeed. It’s there for the same reason the flowers are out the front of the supermarket, it makes the store look more welcoming and less like a warehouse that is engineered to siphon money from your wallet.
Nobody buys that shit. We just wait for them to yeet it in the dumptster out back, then we cut the chain and take it home.
the bread is real. what you arent seeing is the removal of the unsold products that are almost certainly being donated to homeless shelters and hog farmers, then replaced with fresh loaves the next day. there are fda rules in place to prevent leaving such products out more than a couple days.
are almost
certainly being donated to homeless sheltersbeing thrown away and people who are taking some are persecuted… and hog farmersfixed that for you :)
you fixed nothing maybe where you live thats how it works but here in tejas we follow food safety rules as well as donated unsold produce to our local foodbanks and shelters. if that isnt how your community works then i hope you get to experience it firsthand. i have and without those good folks deeds we wouldve starved to death a long time ago.
Have worked in grocery stores, it just gets thrown out. The level of food waste in the United States is legitimately stomach churning.
And not even just thrown out: it’s usually intentionally damaged so it can’t be eaten
Arizona it’s literally considered illegal to dumpster dive anywhere inside of a curb and yet they still also pour bleach on the tossed food at grocery stores to “dissuade” people.
So you can be arrested if you survive being poisoned.
In France it is illegal to throw food out. It has to go to the homeless or those stores will get fined.
You do know most people don’t live in the US, right?
The commenter they were responding to literally mentioned the FDA. The US Federal Drug and Safety Administration.
You can safely assume American when you see English and monstrous business behaviors. Aside from that I think the US makes up most of Lemmy traffic anyhow.
yeah as i said though, ymmv depending on loc
In the capitalists west, there are only small grassroots projects doing this. Most volume of that stuff goes straight in padlocked trash when best before is met
That is illegal in France. Which as far as I know is capitalist west.
Can confirm that at least Target donates a LOT of food in my area, source being I was on the logistics team and literally watched trucks taking stuff to the food bank
Than you live in a better place than me. Well done to you and your community :)
I think you just do too much drugs.
you’re telling me that this guy saw something that he didn’t understand, but said piqued his curiosity, and instead of trying it to see what it’s like he goes straight to schizo posting about it on the Internet?
this is why trump is winning.

i’ll buy some sourdough or a baguette. usually when reduced to clear.
Also when i was on holiday in the US; sourdough bread was all i could eat. seriously guys, your sandwich bread fucking SUCKS!
Yep. My only sandwich breads are the fancy shit and Aldi because Aldi doesn’t sweeten their whole wheat
The grocery stores have shit bread. It’s also the reason people don’t buy these ones there. Cause if you like good bread you will go to a bakery or make it at home.
Most reasonable Americans, and the larger worldwide Culinary Arts groups would prefer to wait a day and get them on sale so we can make fresh croutons; if you ever wonder why there’s a discount rack that’s always near empty in your local bakery, it’s probably someone buying out the day old lot for the afforementioned croutons or something like crostini for some kind of appetizer dish.
I was always taught to do this with bread crumbs as well, throw it in the oven to dry it out and smashhhhhh.
I m French and in France we buy EVERY bread in a bakery .for real after 5pm you have basically nothing .
The French sure do love their
I’m American (California) and the local bakery sells out daily too
Same here, swiss.
That’s because we don’t put it in plastic. Who wants to buy soft (and apparently underbaked) bread? Apart from US people, I mean.
France has laws against throwing away food which makes them plan better. In Germany, the shelfs are full till the end so customers can choose. I think this is changing too but I’m not often in bakeries that late.
Sauf le pain aux raisins parce que c’est une abomination
Finally someone had the guts to say it. Seulement les psychopaths achète ça.
Et la chocolatine parce que ça n’existe pas
It’s the same in the Netherlands, although our bread is shit.
So many people taking this seriously, kek.
This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back.
You take the normal bread – the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe.
You take the fancy bread – you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember, all I’m offering is the truth – nothing more.”
“Wait… did you just eat both loaves at once??!”
