Re: Toasters
The trouble is British taste is sweet. Not as bad as the Americans but it is sweet. Here savoury plays a bigger role although when it comes to cakes they can go into overkill. I never buy cakes for that reason. The only time I go into a "banket" baker is to buy cheesy biscuits. You never see cakes and biscuits on sale like you do in the UK.

Re: Toasters
You can get either here, sweet or savory. Most the mass-produced ones are too sweet, though, same for mass produced breads of any type. I go to a small bakery to get decent stuff. I'd make my own but bread making is something I never got into. I love a good onion bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Re: Toasters
I used to make my own bread in Scotland but there normal supermarket bread was terrible. Here I buy very good organic freshly baked bread at our local store.

Re: Toasters
There's a good bakery at the local grocery store that sells real bread, but it doesn't last because they don't put a bunch of preservatives in it. Three days max if you don't freeze it. We don't eat a lot of bread, trying to keep the carbs down, one loaf a week is enough and I usually turn some of it into croûtons or bread crumbs.

Re: Toasters
That is our problem as well. Two days and it is going. We buy half loaves.

The Dutch are the third highest per capita consumers of sugar in the world, behind the USA and Germany. The UK languishes in 7th place.Scot Dutchy wrote: ↑Sun Oct 28, 2018 1:08 pmThe trouble is British taste is sweet. Not as bad as the Americans but it is sweet.

2015 figures so may have changed.

Re: Toasters
I wont argue with facts Clinton.

This is what is tempting to a lot of people:
All real cream. I cant eat them anymore. Just too sweet.
We dont have added sugar to food but plenty of sugar if you want it. It is common here to give out "gebakjes" for your birthday at your place of work. My department was large enough to have these at least once a week.

Re: Toasters
My sweet tooth is my Achilles heel. Or something. That Dutch bakery looks very good. I'm partial to a rum baba

Re: Toasters
Mu toaster oven was my favorite in college. Made pizzas in it. It also made toast of anything.

Re: Toasters
Q) How do you make toast at the zoo?
A) You put it under the gorilla
Happy days.

Re: Toasters
Dutch types put chocolate spread on their breakfast toast! Weird.

Re: Toasters
what's wrong with choc spread, beside the fact it's a dietic nightmare and full of palm oil?

Bagels to me seem utterly American, specifically New York.

technically, they are a Jewish thing, of course, it's not so long that there used to be more Jews in Brooklyn than in the whole of Israel
