okay listen up this here will be a psa about bread brought on by that god forsaken breadstick meme and the realization that american and european breadsticks are not the same thing

this is a european breadstick (better known as grissini)

very long, vERY thin, very dry and crispy. you can either get them seasoned or you can get them plain

this is american breadsticks

i’ve never had them but i have been told they are soft and brushed with butter and sometimes seasoning

which looks more like a stick to you? that’s right, the first one!

american breadsticks are to me more like baguettes

baguettes come in many different sizes (including the same size as american breadsticks (which would be considered a small baguette)) BUT unlike american breadsticks baguettes are usually crisp on the outside (although they can be bought soft as well for you to bake at home the way you like them)

now where i come from we also call baguettes flutes and they’re available in even more sizes

like this ^ which is a mini flute/mini baguette. americans on the other hand call this a roll

BUT WAIT

this thing here ^ is ALSO a roll (it’s not even round why would you call it a roll america you confuse me). where i’m from, this would be called a bun as it’s a soft piece of bread, very easy to handle.

a bun in america tho is this

like the things you use for burgers! (granted, this is also called a bun where i’m from so it’s not like a massive issue of conflict but the roll thing confused me)

on the topic of weird differences in bread and names this

is a biscuit in america (yet another thing we would call a bun in denmark but that’s not the point i’m trying to make) while this

is a british biscuit WHICH IN TURN is called a cookie in america. coNFUSING!

so all in all, bread and languages and culture is weird af and the breadstick meme makes a lot more sense when you know what type of breadsticks people are referring to (which i assume are the american ones bc why would you wanna steal grissini like they’re good but not tHAT good)

anyways this has been a psa about bread i hope you’ve enjoyed it as much as i enjoy eating bread

It didn’t even get into scones and pastries….

And not even muffins…

*clears throat* SO this here is a british scone

but wait isn’t that what americans call biscuits?? yes, yes it is. this is what americans call a scone

this is basically a chunk of butter-based bread with chocolate chips in it. sort of dry, tastes nice with a thin spread of butter or cream cheese..

on the topic of pastry

this is what americans refer to as danish pastry. being danish myself i am deeply offended by this because this is NOT how our pastries look. plus that’s a croissant in the middle which is definitely not even close to being a danish pastry but more on that later.

these are beautiful examples of true danish pastries, which are usually made from a puff pastry-like dough and often filled with jam and/or custard and covered very lightly with icing. the name “danish pastry” is very misleading, and in danish it is called “viennese bread”, as it’s made from a method going back to ancient vienna.

the viennese pastry techniques were studied by a french baker, who brought them with him to france, where this

was created. this is a pain du chocolat (literally “bread with chocolate”). some americans think a pain du chocolat is a danish pastry. IT IS NOT. it did however help inspire true danish pastries.

another french pastry is the croissant

which is supposed to look like this. they’re hollow in the middle and sometimes they come with chocolate filling inside and they taste heavenly. a true french croissant is some of the best pastry you will ever eat.

this is the american version of a croissant. i have nothing to say about this except smh…

moving on to muffins

this is an english muffin! another thing i feel like the americans would refer to as a “roll”, although i am not certain as my american person is currently asleep so americans feel free to correct me about this. anyways english muffins are served cut in halves, with a spread of butter, fried eggs, ham, and/or bacon.

this is an american muffin. kinda like a cupcake but ugly and more bready than cakey. this is where the term “muffin top” comes from. it is served as is.

this is a cupcake

known universally as a cupcake. thank god we can all agree on one thing tbh

now don’t even get me started on flatbread! every nation/region of the world seems to have their own interpretation of what a flatbread should be and i do not have the patience to lecture y’all about the 200+ types of it there is okay

anyways this has been bread experiences 2.0 i’m gonna go eat some toast

Y'all are so whinny idk if you’ve heard of this concept but DIFFERENT CULTURES USE DIFFERENT TERMINOLOGY FOR THINGS JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING ISN’T CALLED WHAT YOU MAY CALL IT DOES NOT MAKE IT WRONG‼️‼️‼️ Also A CROISSANT SANDWICH IS LEGIT JUST A CROISSANT WITH MEAT ON IT NOTHING DIFFERENT sorry for wanting to spice up y'alls boring ass food pallet god!
