    "average brit eats 37kg of bread a year" factoid actualy just statistical error. Average brit eats 7.4kg per year. Bread OrangeRadiohead, who lives in a cave & eats over 2 billion kg each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

    And as a good german, I would say the average bread consumption is even lower, and what the brits eat is anything but bread 😁

    Well we eat a shit ton of bread regardless of the economy. Gotta dip bread in anything from eggs to vegetable stews and meals. Recently people have eaten more of the bread and less of the food unfortunately.

    Wtf is your problem. I lived in Germany, Austria, Hungary, Czechia and travel in whole Europe and Czech bread is almost the same like the other countries have. The more south you go like Balkan and Italy the bread becomes soft and white, but the rest is almost the same

    parent root
    1 points Zestyclose-Doubt8202

    It absolutely isn't the same. Maybe don't wade into this topic if you can't tell the difference. Czech bread is dry, dense and nearly-exclusively full of Carroway seeds. There is virtually no variety in styles, and don't get me started on the paper-covered wallpaper paste they call rohliks (basically croissant shaped buns). Horrible, flavourless, low grade hog food.

    Germany has a breadmaking tradition. It has variety, different flours, different seeds, high quality. Its night and day.

    Says czech bread is bad compared to german bread. Provides one single example of bread available in czech republic that even czechs dont like. HUH? Also if you dont like rohlik then you should probably shove it where the sun dont shine.

    parent root
    1 points Zestyclose-Doubt8202

    I think you mean to say: "says Czech bread is bad. Provided the single most popular type in the country, that is for sale in every single shop, bakery and potraviny in the country, from the smallest village to the fanciest prague establishment".

    I'm glad you don't like it, but to pretend Czechs don't, when it's often the only type available, and is the only type that is always available, is pretty insane.

    parent root
    1 points Environmental_Log264

    That is very poor and very biased review :) Maybe if you are going to shop to Vietnamese shops in the center they don’t have any varianty, but all bigger supermarkets have plenty type of breads and rohlík is just one specific type which is not even considered as bread.

    parent root
    1 points Zestyclose-Doubt8202

    It's not biased at all. I specifically chose the most common and popular types, because that says a lot. If you think there's lots of variety in a Czech supermarket you really do need to visit Germany or Austria. Its simply not true. Also, the few types there are tend be a)extremely similar -4 shapes of overly dry white bread with almost no density of flavour, and b) maybe a squeaky rye bread if youre lucky. All low quality, and these aren't even the popular types.

    You will see entire aisles of the 2 types I did mention, though. So it's clear what people eat.

    As to rohlik, I agree that it isn't bread. That was my original statement. But people still shovel thousands of them into their faces instead of bread. They still raise their children on them instead of bread. So I'm not sure whether you think you're disagreeing with me or not

    How come you don't have the stats for Romania ? We are one with the bread. We eat so much bread it's incredible. When there's no bread it's pretzels or pasta. Sometimes bread with pasta. Even our main orthodox prayer that every child learns first states: "[...] give us thou bread for all of our days". Incredible...we could have finally been no 1 at something and you exclude us from the statistics.

    I am half Bulgarian. And I know the answer because we have almost same kitchen as Turks; bread is everything, we can’t do without bread. There can be all kinds of meals on the board but we can’t eat it without bread. For example all kinds of meat, soups, vegetables, it doesn’t taste same without bread. It’s not about the economic situation, it’s about the taste.

    I'm very curious about the source of the data. The disparity between countries is low except for Turkey, but countries which are know for bread like France and Germany don't have a higher average than the others. What really makes this fishy is the fact that colours are absolutely meaningless. And there's no scale, but there are random pictures everywhere. This looks like an AI generated map to be honest.
