First time poster here, go easy on me.
I like bread. I’m not a bread connoisseur, but I don’t remember a day when I haven’t eaten bread. Sometimes, I eat bread 2 or 3 times a day. If I were to order a last meal, it would likely contain bread. For the last 18 years I’ve been eating disappointing bread. It’s one of the most missed delicacies since I left the motherland. I didn’t know that bread was a delicacy until I left.
Visitors from home are requested to bring over bread. The last visitor brought over a record 18 packets of teacakes, one of the best versions of bread. I’ve tried a lot of different brands, most recently settling on Dave’s Killer bread. This bread is probably as healthy and tasty as American bread gets.
Imagine my surprise today when I worked out that even with trumps tariffs,a delivery fee and a markup from a reputable American company, I can ship Warbutons, (a mid level brand of bread) from England for cheaper than buying my regular bread in the USA. I have mixed emotions. I am both elated and disappointed, disappointed that I’ve wasted so much time eating disappointing bread. Why is bread so terrible and expensive in the USA? Over $7 for 680g of cardboard?? The world’s gone mad.
Now I know what you’re thinking, is Warbutons a mid level brand of bread? What brand of bread was this man eating that’s better than Warbutons? I’ll save that debate for another post.
