My four sons were all white bread afficiandos through and through. Funny though, when they grew up, they all prefer a good bread with a nice crust. The only time I want white bread is when we are making "hillbilly hot dogs", aka fried bologna sandwiches. The rest of the meal includes baked cheetos and orange Crush.
That being said, I have a hard time eating shokupan. I /have/ to toast it because otherwise all the white and fluffy is pretty disgusting for my dark, seed-filled bread loving self. I never, ever bought (white) toast in Germany because I thought that was too fluffy / lacking substance already - and as you know, it really can't compare to shokupan, haha.
Thanks Kerstin! Yeah, I don't know how real German-bread-fans would survive in Japan...you just can't get any there! A few friends of mine are really curious to try it now that I've told them about it, but I don't think they'd want to eat it all the time. Tough country for bread lovers!
try the bread in Holland, sounds like the japanese kind :)
ReplyDeleteReally! I'll have to check that out!
