What is the legal definition of bread?

>>14826697
>the weight of sugar and fat in a bread product must not be more than 2 percent of the total weight of flour in the dough.

>But the dough baked for Subway sandwiches has a sugar content of roughly 10 percent the weight of its flour content

>Ireland’s highest court

>>14826703
>sugar content of roughly 10 percent the weight of its flour content
Pretty sure if I made bread with that much sugar it would be sweet enough to be unedible.
What the fuck is the point of adding massive amounts of sugar anyways if it doesn't taste like it has gargantuan quantities of sugar?

>>14826705
Yeah dude who gives a fuck about ireland

>>14826703
>10% sugar
That's disgusting

>>14826705

>>14826705
> the american, when told his sandwich is 10% sugar, groans and continues eating

>>14826749
No one.
UK should just annex them.

>>14826729
Part of it is just for the sweetness but it also helps make a really light and airy bread too I think. I don't like that too much either though because it becomes like cotton candy and it's too mushy.

Do Europeans even have independent sandwich shops?
Why do they just eat meat between sugar? They can't be this fat

>>14826681

Looks like any brioche bread is around 8%. What should we call it now? The experts have spoken, it can't be bread.

>>14826853
No.
They have been displaced by bakeries. Why go for a sandwich when you can go for sandwich, coffee AND some kind of danish pastry?
And at the same time the independent sandwich shops get displaced by whatever amounts to Subway and a few national chains.

>>14826908
brioche I got from aldi say 6%

>>14826908
>What should we call it now?

Maybe we should call it brioche?

Basically eating a cake filled with thawed out flash frozen veggies, msg riddled processed meats, and high sodium and trans fatty sauces.

Do they really think this is healthy food?

>>14827015
In America, it is.

>>14827015
compared to mcdonalds it is.

>>14827015
It's about as good as it gets

Note, this is just the Irish government enforcing particularly strict rules to make sure subway parys extra taxes. Europe had lots of retarded food rules, like Germany's hops, barley, and water law.

>>14827015

>>14826969
Marie Antoinette said let them eat brioche and not cake, as it's often said.

>>14826908
No shit. Brioche is something you eat in the weekend like a croissant or chocolate bread. Nobody thinks it's healthy except for americans I guess

God damn Subway, you cheap capitalist globalist fucks trying to cut corners. Fuck you, I hope youre totally embarrassed.

>>14827015
I love me a good dose of frozen veggies and salt

>>14828138
>Wait what? Is that a legit perception in the US? Over here it's definitely considered junk food
All the 2014 oldfag zoomers that make up this site's population now are too young to remember or be aware of famous pedophile Subway Jared who was their spokesman for like 15 years. His whole thing was that he was some 400 lbs fat ass and he says that walking to subway everyday and getting some like plain tuna with mustard sandwich is what made him lose the weight and he became a millionaire just by posing for pictures while holding his pants being all LOOK AT HOW FUCKING FAT I USED TO BE YOU CAN THANK THE DELICIOUS SUBWAY SANDWICHES FOR MY WEIGHT LOSS and then eventually it got exposed that he more than likely lost the weight by constantly furiously masturbating to child pornography and having underage gay sex

>>14826703
>10%
what the fuck is wrong with you americans

>>14828230
That's advertising anon, everyone knows it's not real. Their slop was a little less processed and transfat filled at the time than Mcdonalds/BK/etc, but it was still understood to be cheap and shitty fastfood.

>>14828247
>but it was still understood to be cheap and shitty fastfood.
If it had been, it wouldn't have become popular. The whole selling point that people believed was that it was supposed to be vaguely healthy for you because of the pedophile with his big pants.

>>14826681

remember when subway had good food in the 90s.

>>14826681
And Heinz Ketchup was ruled in Israeli court as not containing enough tomatoes to meet the legal definition of "ketchup". The Hebrew sticker on the bottles currently states the product is "tomato dip".

>>14827015
It’s dough with yeast, not a cake. And the difference between sugar and flour is terms of nutritional impact is basically nil.

Flash freezing doesn’t make vegetables nutritionally valueless, but regardless, Subway veggies are almost exclusively fresh. If they were frozen the cell membranes would burst and you could tell they weren’t fresh. And artificial trans fats are illegal in America so there aren’t any in Subway sauces. Also they don’t use MSG in any of their sandwich ingredients.

>>14828173
When did "healthy" become part of the definition of bread?

>>14826681
What is it with mutts and the obsession with putting sugar in everything? I fucking hate it when I have to go Stateside for work, literally everything is sweet as fuck.

as if Subway needs tax-exempt status to begin with--American retail-investors are so full of shit

>>14828363
>was ruled in Israeli court

Thinking we care what a jew has to say about anything. We will care what they have to say when they reverse globalization, foreign invasion immigration policies, the Caucasophobic economic pogroms and propaganda in their media.

Until then fuck the jews and don't listen to anything they have to say. Its like listening to Satan.

>>14828547
It's a thread about a country ruling that a certain food product from an other country doesn't count as what it's supposed to be. There's no reason to not being other examples of similar cases, regardless of views of the countries mentioned. Please don't forget to take your pills, your health is important to me, anon.

>>14827015
>frozen veggies
None of the vegetables are frozen at Subway. Only the olives, pickles, jalapenos, and banana peppers are prepackaged; everything else is prepped to be served fresh.
I don't think any of the meat has MSG in it either.
The sweet onion teriyaki sauce is the unhealthiest thing at Subway by far, it's mostly sugar.

>>14826681
Just let them eat cake.

>>14828629
How many kids have you raped this year you sick bastard

>>14826681
The bread there tastes fucking whack anyway. Cheap half baked baguettes are a mile better and has crust.

>>14826908
It's too sweet for any sane person to use in any typical application of bread. Teacake isn't considered bread. What point do you think you're making?

Who cares, I'm still going to choose Subway over garbage like KFC, McDonalds or Burgerking.

Subway also has way higher quality standards, at least in the UK. I've never had a shitty Subway but I've lost count the times that McDonalds have served me a patty which has sat in the warmer for hours on end and dried up and became disgusting.

>Subway can no longer be legally considered to be food.
It's still food, even in Ireland. It's just that stuff on the outside is legally cake, not bread.
(This matters because it is taxed differently.)

>>14828893
Anon, if I made sandwiches at home out of the same ingredients subway uses then yes I'd consider it junk food. It's not the fact it's produced in subway that makes it junk food you spacker

>>14826697
Once you have a certain amount of sugar, it becomes a cake. Most American bread is actually cake.

>>14828923
chopped veggies on deli meat is definitely healthier than your jelly samsons

>>14826681
>laughs in Floridian

>>14829050
Subways definitely aren't chopped vegetables on deli meat as the fucking thread you are posting in shows

>Ireland is being flooded with Africans
>guys what about Subway bread? Is it really bread?

Just bake your own bread using quality flour, home grown yeast and crystal clear spring water.

>>14829180
At least they didn't go to Africa and bring them back with them because Americans couldn't do basic farmwork.

>>14828522
I've had american granny complain how eggs don't taste 'sweet like in states'. Whatever that might mean.

Fuck Anthony Dis-dain. Never liked that faggot. He was one of those libtards that not only thought you should travel but you have to get away from tourist areas. There was a quote he had about him hating regular tourists. Self hating cuck. I hope he burns in hell.

>>14829340
based the left can't meme and they don't know fucking history. This fag doesn't even know about the Barbary Coast

>>14828629
>served fresh
As a former Subway employee, and of other meme sandwich places, it's hilarious how meaningless that term is.

The implication is that somehow we have a garden full vegetables in the back of the store or that we get veggies shipped in everyday straight from the farm. Absolutely not. All this shit comes in plastic bags shipped in every 2 weeks with like half the fucking lettuce bags already all rusted and us having to throw out moldy tomatoes everyday. The "freshness" is in the serving. Which is borderline schizophrenic nonsense. It means "wow look aren't you glad that we're serving it to you right this minute as you ordered it, rather than serving it to you 4 days from now".

I remember when they got exposed for having gum in their bread so they "changed their recipe to give the people what they wanted" which was actual bread. The only bread they didn't change was the flat bread. So that's the only bread I get if I eat at subway.

Also in the one article I read flat bread wasn't mentioned in the irish courts case, so I guess they don't have that in ireland. I'll continue to eat the most bread like bread they serve.

Can't believe I'm breathing the same air with stupid mother fuckers like this guy.

>>14827312
As long as you skip the soda and fries and preferably go for double burgers so you get less buns then yes even McD is likely healthier

>>14829132

>>14829132
they're so close in price and you get so much more meat, sandwich overall is way better quality. I just don't understand why anybody would go to subway when Publix is around. Ingles grocery store also has really good subs that are almost as good as publix

>>14829254
Mate of mine is a sixth generation master baker and when we had friends over from the States a while back and they complained that his bread tasted wrong, like there was no sugar. He wasn't too impressed and properly made his feelings known.

It's not like bread is healthy anyway. May as well complain that soda has a lot of sugar in it.

How do you figure brioche is sold then? It's usually around 12.5% sugar and 20-100% butter.

>>14830560
The brioche comparison in this thread is dumb af. Brioche is closer to cake than bread and anyone with a brain knows it. Nobody (again with a brain) thinks brioche is healthy in any way.

So Subway is basically sandwiches with a shit-ton of highly dubious ingredients loaded on brioche bread. It's fast food, it's bad for you, anyone who didn't know this already got hoodwinked by Jared.

>>14830560
Math isn't your thing, is it?
American measure ingredients in cups. That is why they cannot make decent bread or pastry. Fact.

>>14830609
>Cake
>When it uses extremely high protein flour and doesn't incorporated any of the mixing methods associated with cakes.
Right.
>>14830611
While I agree, I hardly know Amerikeks exist.

>>14826729
Even if you cant taste the sugar you still get addicted to it.

>>14828522
Fuck off Nigel. nothing here is sweet unless it is meant to be sweet. Go eat some boiled goose

>>14830638
> nothing here is sweet unless it is meant to be sweet.
Was subway bread meant to be 10% sugar cause I don't recall Jared ever mentioning that

>>14830638
Or, and this is just a guess, you fat cunts have got so used to everything being stuffed with sugar and HFCS that you don't even notice how sickly sweet your shitty food actually is.

>>14827015
Subway doesn't freeze veggies

>>14826681
This is always bring my own bread and make the sandwich artisan use it. They always look at me like I'm out of my mind.

I don't understand why the Irish government speaks when not being spoken to or acts like their lives hold any value at all. America could literally nuke your entire country into a scorched, lifeless wasteland in a few hours. We could invade basically unopposed, skin your men alive and rape your women with zero effort. You exist by our mercy alone.

>>14829386
“Fresh” means never frozen, pickled, or salted. It hasn’t been preserved.

>>14828138
It's considered, or was at one time, healthier than other fast food and convenience food due to it being a sandwich rather than fried chicken or burger and fries. Living in the deep south at the moment, I can tell you that the vast majority of people here do not take ingredients, quality of those ingredients, calories, and sides into consideration. They see that it's not typical fast food and marketing that says it's healthy but do not make healthy choices even when they have the option. So instead of a 6 inch ham and cheese with lettuce and mustard sandwich plus apple and water, they choose a foot long meatball parm with chips, cookies, and coke. Then they feel like it's healthy because it's not McDonald's or some other "bad" fast food. Subway is so disgusting that walking by one turns my stomach. You can smell the stench of their "bread" which smells like musty feet. Jersey Mike's would be a better example of how Subway is perceived since they only do cold sandwiches (no hot smothered stuff) and fresher, better ingredients. It has been 8 or more years since I went to one though, so I don't know if they've lowered their quality.

>>14828522
Oi, have you seen Britannica. It's America 2.0 with double the sugar content but minus all the other seasonings. Don't ignore the elephant in your region. You daft c***

Caught an episode of Diner, Drive-ins & Dives earlier whilst wasting a few minutes and they were in an 'English pub' in Texas where they were making Shepherds Pie. Looked pretty tasty, right up until the cook poured what looked like a whole bag of sugar into the meat and gravy.

>>14837310
The american obsession with sugar is bizarre. I mean it's not like shepards fuckin pie is good for you to begin with, why does it need anything else added to it? I get adding sugar to foods that are bitter/sour, but savory?
