I'm just laughing at "bread" and "proof" but I know they didn't intend on the pun.

[–] threeganzi 3 points 15 hours ago

No bun intended…

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

Does this come in unsliced? Because cut that suckers down the middle perpendicular to the chopping board and you could make a giant toasted ham & cheese croissant slab

disgusted French look of superiority

jkjk it looks like something terrible in a good way.

[–] logos 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Cause it's probably 3/4 butter.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Count me in.

The only issue I see with it is that since it's wrapped in plastic it's gonna be soft and rubbery instead of crunchy.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

it’s gonna be soft and rubbery instead of crunchy

I don't think croissants are supposed to be rubbery or crunchy, are they? "Flakey" is probably what you want.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago

Yeah flakey would be a better term altthough I'd still put it in the crunchy umbrella. Like flakey means the exterior is kinda crunchy.

Otoh don't take me too seriously I like to dunk them in coffee or milk :p

I often buy these. But, I always take care noone sees me buying them.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago

This is the way. Don't let OP know about us.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I buy those baguettes and it would be lucky to make it home so I always buy two.

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

That cost seems incredibly high, how did you calculate that? Also what are you paying for a loaf of bread? Granted cheese is expensive so depending on how much mozarella you're factoring in that could play a part, but im still curious about your numbers.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Herbs, flour, oil, jalapenoes, cheese, and eggs divide by volume all at retail price.

Egg is for the wash.

Good oil and herbs are the largest expense if you buy the cheese in bulk (aged cheeses like mozzerella and parmesian are more mold resistant than other cheeses if kept dry), but you could cheap out with a premade herb blend and some generic "olive" oil.

We might also just have different opinions on what "family size" means.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 hours ago

I used to buy this kind of bread before I started making my own sourdough, but it just doesn't compare to fresh out of the oven. It's more or less equivalent to my own bread after a week when I have to start toasting it.

In all my years I've never walked into a friends home and been offered a baguette or a fresh slice of focaccia.

Well then your friends suck

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

Agreed! I had a get together with a friend on Friday, and among our many wonderful snacks was a loaf of picante cheese bread from the bougie bakery owned by our employer. That shit slaps, and people deserve to experience the carb-rich glory.

[–] Lucidlethargy 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I buy baguettes roughly twice a week. They are amazing with oil and vinegar.

This is 4chan, though... I'm not shocked an incel would think this.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 18 hours ago

...and roasted garlic, pesto, and...

"Shit, man, shit shit shit."

"Steve man. Calm the fuck down. What's wrong?"

"It's a customer, man."

"Please tell me they didn't take an orange from the bottom of the stack again."

"No, no. Worse. So much worse. He's buying the boule."

"Ha. You had me worried for a minute. Nobody buys the boule. You misheard."

"No, man, I'm telling you. He asked where it was. I made him repeat the question. He said again he wanted the 'sourdough boule.' He's got it in his cart now."

"...You're serious."

"Yes, man. He's about to fucking buy the boule."

"Shit, man. What are we going to do?"

"I don't know. I- I don't know. This has never happened before."

"We have to alert them."

"Them?"

"You know, them."

"Wh- you mean the simulation people?"

"You got a better idea?"

"Yeah, maybe drinking bleach. Not to mention we have no way to con-"

"H-hello? Um... Sim- simulation people? Um-"

"What the fuck are you doing, Ted? You fucking dipshi-"

"Yes?"

"..."

"..."

"Steve... you... you heard that, ri-"

"I don't have all day. What is it?"

"Shit, um."

"Yes sir, um, Mister Simulator sir, I-"

"Missus."

"Oh, um, sorry, the voice is just kindof... tinny an-"

"Look, we've got a problem. It's one of the... simulated."

"Mmm hmm?"

"He's on his way to the checkout now."

"And?"

"He's buying the boule."

"Mmm. Right. Thank you for alerting me. This anomaly will be dealt with."

"Oh. Um. O...kay. Um. Thank yo-"

"Wait, how exactly will it be deal-"

This reads like They're Made Out of Meat. It's brilliant.

Thanks for the recommendation! Here's the short story mentioned if anyone else wants a read: https://www.mit.edu/people/dpolicar/writing/prose/text/thinkingMeat.html

Are you watching their politics? This can't be real, the writers are all over the top. The whole country is a simulation.

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.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 day ago (14 children)

are almost ~~certainly being donated to homeless shelters~~ being thrown away and people who are taking some are persecuted... and hog farmers

fixed that for you :)

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.

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.”
