/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Yesterday my mom made me go up into the attic because her AC broke. I climbed the ladder and when I got up to the last step I hit my head on what was a metal bar with a long screw jutting out from under it that was part of the AC rig.
I had a big bloody gash on the side of my head so I washed it out with water and rubbing alcohol and applied antibiotic ointment.

Anyway, my dad said I should go get a tetanus shot, but is that necessary? I mean, I don't think there was rust on the metal I cut myself on, and I washed it out thoroughly. Is there any reason to believe I'm at risk? Or am I gonna die?

>>19527394
Tetanus is a bacterial thing that can happen regardless of rust, however, it typically lives in dirt so it's unlikely that some random screw in the ceiling of a house is contaminated. You should be fine.

>>19527287
he's right about everything. germany is even better in terms of bread culture but I guess he chose paris because it's a little fancier than munich (if you ignore all the africans at least)

>>19527287
>another "murica bad" clickbait
the vast majority of american supermakets have "real" bread on par with the ones you get in typical european markets. most people choose the prepackaged "fake" prepackaged bread anyway mostly because they dont want bread that goes rock hard in 2 days

>>19527287
Yes, I worked in a bread factory for Flowers baking co, that shit is not real bread. It is some self stable slop that I wouldn't feed to an animal.

>>19527626
>mostly because they dont want bread that goes rock hard in 2 days
sourdough doesn't go rock hard in 2 days, that's the difference between real bread and premade chink flour mix "bread" that you get at european supermarkets

>>19527652
He's obviously exaggerating but his point is still valid.
t. Buys heritage wheat bread that supposedly doesn't fucking exist

>>19527394
You should be fine but tetanus is a terrible way to go. Do you live in some 3rd world hell hole where you're going to pay out the ass for a shot or something?

Even the fucking Walmart Neighborhood market that I can walk to has 20 different kinds of fresh baked bread. Fuck off with your globohomo agenda.

>>19527850
The difference is in first world countries they don't even let retailers sell you the slop we call bread.

>>19527879
>bragging about nanny state anti-consumer laws
If people want to eat crap let them eat crap.

>>19527850

>>19527884
They don't want to eat crap, they're just misinformed because we let manufacturers bake slop and call it bread.

>>19527893
What a narcissistic creature

>>19527394
it's an easy shot and you need it once every 10 years so just get it

>>19527287
Eating bread alone is a sign that you're poor and probably an effeminate individual.

>>19527964
Not everyone has a bread buddy, jackass

>>19527926
You don't "need" a tetanus vaccine unless you are at high risk for tetanus. I would get it for kids, they play in dirt. I would get it for construction workers, first responders, soldiers, farmers, ect. But your average office worker that pays a Mexican to cut his grass doesn't need a tetanus vaccine.

>>19527287
American bread is illegal to sell in germany. It has to be classified as cake due to the high sugar content

>>19527964
Or, alternatively, that you like bread

>>19527827
Some dumb American was in our news the other day as he had to get his hands and feet amputated due to getting typhus and doing nothing about it.
Id get the jab

>>19527626
I bake my own sourdough and wheat bread and it lasts a good week before going hard wrapped in a towel. Even after that it's still good for soups or bread crumbs.

>>19527564
Munich wouldn't even be a good city for bread as southerners have a fear for rye. You have to go to the north for more diverse and interesting bread types.

>>19527287
Sandwich bread is a cheap product for cheap people.
Anyone who can afford better will buy better, in the USA as well as everywhere else.
Don't let the yurofaggots fool you; their lower classes buy tons of sandwich bread as well. Sales numbers don't lie; over a third of all bread sold in France, for example, is American-style processed white sandwich bread.

All this online hype and shitflinging is generated by a small bunch of yurofags desperate to find some sort of win over the USA because of how badly they get beaten in all other respects; such as using American computers to play American games and watch American actors in American movies etc.

>>19528647
>Oh zis? Nein zis is not American sandvich brot. Zis is traditional German weissbrot, is totally not American sandwich bread. Is ancient Bavarian recipe, ja, ja. Is totally not ze most commonly sold bread in Germany, with 28% market share in ze country. Nein, ve Germans only eat ze proper bread not ze American sandvich brot. American sandvich brot is kuchen, not brot, ja ja...

>>19527394
Have you had a tetanus shot in the past? They used to say they last 10 years but it has now been proven that if you've had just one shot at any time in your life you never need another one

>>19528791
>>19528811
people eat this shit always toasted though
meaning they also have a toaster
meaning it doesnt really compete with other breads

>>19528821
>Oh but you see, because ve superior Europeanunionubermenschen eat zis traditional sandvich weissbrot mit un toastermaschinen, ve are not like ze Americans.

dude the video was done by an american shitting on the us
i dont really care about bread its the same 3 ingredients across the globe but what you really wanna hear is that america has won
well no shit

>>19528857
>the video was done by an american shitting on the us
because he's braindead and/or cashing in on the hype
>i dont really care about bread its the same 3 ingredients across the glob
my how the turntables
>what you really wanna hear is that america has won
nope. this nationalism / factionalism is retarded. what pisses me off is that this shitflinging is instigated by a bunch of elitist pricks who are subtly (or not) goading us all into a consoomer arms race, so to speak.
>ewww you consume SANDWICH BREAD
>didn't you know, real people only eat proper handmade baguette, not this cheap processed stuff
>hyuck
jolly good for those that can afford it. not so much for the bottom percentile who can't, and constantly have their faces rubbed in this pile of steaming horseshit.

>>19528811
What a wonder that people who don't buy bread from bakeries would also choose shitty white bread.

>>19528791
I don't know about other but I spend half a year there as exchange student and there was absolutely 0 good bread.
It is cake. Even the best artisan expensive bread is cake. There is so much sugar in your recipes it can't be called bread.
This is not even an Amerika=bad moment, your scale of what is the appropriate amount of sugar in "neutral" baked goods, which I would consume both with sweet and salty topping, is so skewed you are unable to even comprehend regular bread.
It was like a conspiracy where everyone was on it and simultaneously didn't even know.
This was around 2010 so things may have changed but god-damn.
Even attempting to make my own bread was useless - even when I added almost bill sugar for yeast it tasted sweet.
I am not totally crazy to say your plain flour has pre-ground sugar in it.

>>19528902
>your plain flour has pre-ground sugar
You're nuts.
The only way that'd happen is inadvertent factory contamination.
>It is cake. Even the best artisan expensive bread is cake
I don't disagree with this actually
Everyone knows the best way to make "better (food product)" is to add sugar and fat.
>your
I'm not American

>>19528909
>The only way that'd happen is inadvertent factory contamination.
>Inadvertent
Oh I meant it as completely intentional.

>>19528902
You literally just never got taken to the places that sell it for some reason.

>>19527394
you should get the shot

>>19527287
>Additives bad
No he's a dumb cunt and this video is overproduced trash. You can buy freshly baked bread all across the US in tons of supermarket chains and he does just that at the end of the video. You can also buy a pullman loaf to save money or if you need the bread to last longer without going stale.

Just another West Coast faggot insisting everything is better outside the US.

>>19528902
That's because you didn't bother looking for it. You can find regular bread damn near anywhere

>>19527394
Get the jab faggot

>>19528821
>nobody eats that
>ok well maybe a lot of people do but only because they toast it first
I hate Europeans so much it's unreal.

how fucking stupid do you have to be LMAO

>>19530425
croissant >>>> brot

>>19527287
Super Market bakery bread in Europe is the exact same as the Super market bakery bread in USA.
The difference is that bakeries independent of supermarkets are more numerous in European cities.

>>19527893
nigga everything has nutritional l facts on the back

>>19528902
You don't know what you're talking about. Nearly every supermarket in USA has a bakery section that sells bread made that day without sugar, you can check the ingredients on the label.
Is it the same quality as an artisanal bakery? Probably not. Is it the same quality as whatever you get at Rewe or whatever grocery store you go to in Europe? Yes.

>>19530443
nein

Made it like 1 minute into the video and turned it off when he was in a store. Are you seriously going to compare fucking grocery store bread???? I live in europe but im so sick of every single fucker being obsessed with trying to oneup america all the time.

>*buys shitty prepackaged goyslop bread rather than the fresh bread*
>waaaaa why is American bread so bad

>>19530461
>The difference is that bakeries independent of supermarkets are more numerous in European cities.
Right, but, I can only talks about France, most, if not all in some cases, bakeries of a medium city are baking terminals. Bread dough is bought from distributors. They do nothing but bake it.

I can get croissants from Costco and I don't have to live in shitty France
Checkmate Yuropoors

I thought I hated sandwiches until I was 20 because my parents only ever made them with the kind of bread that came out of a plastic bag that said wonder on it. I don't know what they put in that shit but just the smell of it makes me gag.

Americans can get every kind of bread they want at any local grocery store
they buy the bagged commercial stuff cause mom has to make 4 sandwiches a day for her kids lunch not to mention when they come home and make one for a snack
what are you gonna have bageuttes and shit that stay fresh for them?

>>19532557
Yes, mothers making their children lunch is something completely unique to America.

>>19532564
Not saying that but we pack sandwiches on white bread with peanut butter and jelly or ham and cheese or whatever, not olives and a chunk of cheese and some grapes with a hunk of dried bread

>>19532567
An in Europe you smear some butter or margarine on bread and add some cheese, cold cuts or jam.
Also a family will go through half a loaf of bread in like 2 days and then buy a new one. I don't get where your misconception of dry bread comes from.

>>19532616
>in Europe
>a family will go through half a loaf of bread in like 2 days and then buy a new one
and yet Harrys American-style sandwich bread outsells other kinds of bread, yes even in France

>>19532668
As a German i rarely see people eating shitty sandwich bread as lunch though. Pic related is the most popular.

>>19532683
>i rarely see
anecdotal bias, I'm afraid

>>19527564
>German bread better than french
Lol sure thing bud. I know hate for the french is high but let's not exaggerate here.

>>19527626
Cope it's nothing alike. Not everything in America is bad but your bread is shit.

>>19532694
German breads are more varied, French bread is just the same bread in different shapes anon.

>>19532705
NAYRT but there's a huge difference between
a baguette, a croissant, and an eclair.

>>19532722
None of them contain rye, seeds or something else interesting though.

>>19532734
>rye, seeds
yeah, because the French took the peasant shit out of the bread, and kept the finer stuff
>it's not interesting!!
if you think multiple laminate layers of butter and dough or choux pastry isn't interesting, I can't help you; your palate is retarded

>>19532736
Adding butter to anything isn't as interesting as you think but rather boring. Where's the diversity?

>>19532739
>makes butterbrot
>wa la, choux pastry

>>19532722
You named one bread and two pastries

>>19532748
It's all bread, mon ami

>>19527287
That guy si such a massive fag midwit
Pure pointless directionless 'insigths' and he's still a youtuber out of all things

>>19532756
Nobody in europe would ever refer to a croissant as bread. Wtf

>>19532756
shut up retard

>>19527394
vaccines are a scam but it doesn't matter what I say, some retards will spout some pseudo science crap to scare you. do whatever man, it's not like i give a fuck

>>19532875
>>19532883
>croissant is le pastry not le bread!!
Pedantry.

>>19527287
Johnny Harris is also one of those anti-dairy freaks and thinks shampoo is a scam. He's a fucking crackpot. So, good videos from him like this one are brought down by the others.

>>19532875
correct, while croissants are bread adjacent theyre pastries and no one would make a sandwich with a fucking croissant, anon does not know what he's talking about

>>19532890
Oh forgot you guys think Wonder"bread" isn't a pastry either.

>>19527287
I hundred percent agree with this video, in theory.
>Uwah I'm so depressed there isn't real bread in my country :(
Objectively false and I'm not even American, also then just make your own bread poser.

>>19532890
We are talking about bread and when people talk about bread they do not mean croissants so when someone uses croisants as an argument for bread varieties in france compared to german it is not pedantic to point out that is not what we mean with bread the same way I would point out a berliner is not a german bread either.

>>19532894
>no one would make a sandwich with a fucking croissant
Oh here we go with the NOT A SINGLE CAFE IN FRANCE SELLS A SINGLE FUCKING CROISSANT SANDWICH bullshit

just like the good ol NOT A SINGLE FRENCHMAN EATS AMERICAN SLICED PASTRY REEEE

>>19532897
Does it say "Harry's American Pastry" on this best-selling bag of French bread?

>>19532916
>a berliner is not a german bread either
It is though.
Your concept of bread is much too narrow.

>>19528811
>>19528833
I dont make the rules bub
You seem kind of assblasted about white bread, are you doing okay?

>>19532920
>Your concept of bread is much too narrow.
This. Also pic related is the best sandwich.

>>19528811
Our toast doesn't taste like cake faggot, you can't even sell wonderbread as white bread in the EU, deal with it.

>>19532920
>>19528811
>>19528791
What is this Harrys? Some sort of fake company you can use to shitpost on /ck/?
Somebody please tell me where I can find that shit in Germany because I have never ever seen it.

>>19532957
>What is this Harrys? Some sort of fake company
Only the largest bakery in Germany
>Somebody please tell me where I can find that shit in Germany because I have never ever seen it
That's on you.

>>19532957
Are you blind or something?

>>19532969
>>19532972
Thats not the same company you fucking moron

>>19532972
>>19532969
>The largest bakery in Germany
Delusional lies, not even in the top 20

>>19532974
>Thats not the same company
oh, you sweet summer child

>>19532920
>t is though.Your concept of bread is much too narrow
now this is an example of pedantry. If someone asks you to buy some bread while you're at the supermarket and you come home with a berliner and some croissants they going to send you back to the store.

>>19533006
Anon, I want to teach you two very important words that will save you a lot of trouble, and possibly help extricate you from all kinds of sitcom-tier situations:
>What kind?

>>19533012
I bet you were giggling while typing that post.

Nope, it's the largest: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry-Brot

>"2021 erwirtschaftete es einen Umsatz von mehr als einer Milliarde Euro und ist damit deutschlandweit der größte Backwarenhersteller."

The claim that their sandwich bread has a 28% market share is absolute horseshit though.

>>19533024
>their sandwich bread
I didn't say *their* sandwich bread, I said pre-packed long-life sandwich bread in general

>>19532920
>Your concept of bread is much too narrow.

According to the guidelines of the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture the combined sugar and fat content of bread should not exceed 10% of the grain content.

For Berliners it's closer to 20%, so they wouldn't count as bread according to that definition.

>>19533024
That doesn't make any sense, why would anon be all smug about american bread being sold in europe when it was european bread all along
Could anon be retarded?

>>19530473
Americans can't read

>>19532920
might as well call cake bread at that point

Sugar content has nothing to do with if something is bread
Muffins are often sweet, but they're still bread

>>19532705
French bread is more popular globally for a reason. German and eastern European bread is an acquired taste

>>19533191
muffins are not bread theyre literally cake you absolute swine

>>19533305
that reason is colonization, most people would prefer German breads if they had access to it.

>>19533336
No, no they wouldn't

>>19533336
>that reason is colonization, most people would prefer German breads if they had access to it
lol no fuck that
French white baguette is lighter, softer, and crispier
German bauernbrot by comparison is coarse and tough

>>19533336
Cake is bread

>>19533336
>that reason is colonization, most people would prefer German breads if they had access to it.

Definitely not. I've been all over North America and Asia, and while German bakeries (i.e. ones run by actual German bakers who emigrated) are surprisingly ubiquitous, the story is always the same: the locals buy pastries and white bread while the authentic German breads are almost exclusively bought by other German expats and the occasional health nut or Germaboo.

French bread is the good shit that nobles ate, while using German bread as the fucking plate

>>19532699
You've never had our bread and you think the only kind we have here is shitty cheap white Wonder bread because your entire perspective of this country is retarded memes and kvetching you read on the internet

>>19533679
>your entire perspective of this country is retarded memes and kvetching you read on the internet
100%

I like pumpernickel

USA is all about buying things in bulk to put in the pantry. It explains itself why they go hard on fake bread
It's not like Europe supermarkets aren't selling the same shit too

>>19533708
Europeans all think that if they don't personally buy something that's in their grocery stores then nobody in their country does and it doesn't actually exist

fresh graubrot is probably the beast bread for cold cuts

>>19533757
>best bread for cold cuts
English muffin
Mcdonald's got it right

RENT
FREE

>>19532683
I can just tell from the picture that that "bread" is basically a slab of rubber and tastes like some rancid not for human consumption grains

I got stung by a catfish two days ago, here's to hoping I don't get lockjaw

>>19527287
You can buy "European" bread in every American supermarket above the Save-a-Lot tier.

>>19534003
You don't seem to understand that this is the basic bread that goes well with everything as it has the rye flavour with the fluffier wheat texture. It's nothing special and nobody said so.

>>19527287
>ugly soyboy bitches about and misrepresents Americans
I hate this genre of video.

>>19533775
nah
i haven't had fresh ones yet but arent they better toasted?
also they hold a lot of spread which is imo their strength

>>19534160
The majority of the world does not enjoy rye flavour for starters...
