Country Kitchen Hearty Canadian White

[davidn]

Whitney has once again done the impossible - she has found decent bread in America. I was just making my sandwiches for tomorrow at work, and opened a new packet of "Country Kitchen Hearty Canadian White". And I was astonished to find that unlike the many other brands of bread we've tried from the local supermarket, it:

• Is white. (Yes, I'm a bread-racist)
  
• Is perfectly soft. (Whitney makes fun of me for doing the squeeze test.)
  
• Is almost the right shape. (Still slightly off, but not much more than the difference between letter-size paper and A4.)
  
• Has a much better slice width.
  
• Does not have a texture bordering on glutinous.
  
• Does not have an explicably soggy bottom that does not go away even after toasting it.
  

I think it's fair to say that you just don't understand how incredible this is. The name in this title is what I'll have to remember in order to make decent sandwiches for the next immediate stretch of my life. (Still no supply of Crunchy Nut, though.)

There's a prototype version of Crystal Towers 2 available at crystaltowers2, by the way. If you're interested I'd appreciate any feedback on the general feel of the game so far, including the movement and scrolling.

Did you ever try the Sara Lee Honey White?

Maybe you could try baking your own bread, as, at the very least, would probably make you more appreciative of being able to just walk into a shop and buy it. North American wheat is supposed to be quite different from what you would get over here because it has more gluten in it (speciality shops over here actually import Canadian bread flour), so that might explain part of the weirdness, although from the short time that I spent visiting America a few years ago, I would also suggest since bread over there seems to have lots of sugar and additives in it to stop it from tasting like bread, that may also have something to do with it.

Although, that being said, most of the people on the continent look at what we make our sandwiches from with a derogatory "you call zis bread?" and an appropriately accented sneer.

Good to hear you can get good bread at last, I'm pretty sure you could have found some on eBay (what isn't on there?).

Hey, you know it's illegal to sell foodstuffs!

Nice display picture, I can tell you're seeking for compliments from David! :P

I spent a long time getting all those crystals, I want people to know about it.
