Why are mexican baked goods so fucking dry? They all look delicious but they're consistently dry. Every last one. I had a Mexican tell me that American baked goods are too moist. They live in the fucking desert and they want their food dry too. Blows my fucking mind.

I think one anon mentioned it was because dry baked goods don't spoil as fast, and is more ideal when your traveling. There dank with coffee though.

They were raised on it being dry as fuck so that's the norm for them. Most of Mexico isn't desert by the way, just take a look at a picture of Earth from space. It's mostly just the very north and northwest.

Damn I haven't had bean bread in so damn long. My locan beanery used to sell these breads but the owner didn't want to pay a price hike to the bakers and he got new bakers and new bread. New bread fucking sucks. Dry as fuck and full of twig seasoning. I swear it has sand or something. I miss these little fuckers so much tho. I would go when they were freshly delivered and eat 3 or 4. The filling was some sort of pudding. Kind of like eclair filling.

it helps if you go to the most popular bakery so their stock is probably getting refreshed daily and ask or order their most popular product. most of that shit has been sitting around the whole week and we all know how fast a fucking baguette gets stale in a single day.

You are absolutely correct. Went to a Mexican bakery, and was excited by what I saw. Looked kinda good and wow, its cheap too! Think I found a gem here...
Bought at least ten items, and all ten were absolute trash. First bite, oh that one is stale. On to the next, oh that one is stale too, bad luck huh. Next one, also stale and dry. Hmm whats going on here? Number four, STALE. Literally everything was dry and completely shitty.
Somehow they can fake the illusion of tasty baked goods, but as soon as you bite in, your dreams are instantly shattered.
