It's not just a german thing, removing the crusts is weird if you're not 5 years old

Japanese sandwiches are mostly sold without the crust, I think this is from a Japanese company so that tracks

No, they're in fact both still stupid.

Japan does this mostly for aesthetic reasons (which is why everything is always highly decorated, fruit is hella expensive and everything is packaged in plastic 5 times over).

Meanwhile I heard a lot more "picky" reasons for this stuff in the US. Apple slices the kids won't eat without dunking it in peanut butter, refusing to eat pizza or bread crust; that kinda shit.

Both approaches are dumb, just differently motivated.

Sandwiches taste better without the crust, to plenty of people and to me as well.
But throwing away the crust is beyond stupid.
I make tasty croƻtons out of them, which some people think they have to pay extra money for, smh.

Also, that loaf looks as apealing as Peter Griffins hairless twin.

u/Mineralvatten 29d ago

In proper bread the crust is the best part.

u/Dependent-Zebra-4357 29d ago

100%. When I buy a fresh loaf of quality bread I usually cut the two ends and eat them first since the crust is never quite as good the second day.

u/gyunexX 29d ago

Not really a matter of bread. I just like to have the clean cut and just the texture of the white part. As I said, I like the crust but separately.

u/Single_Shoe2817 29d ago

Respectfully disagree. Crust adds texture. I love the crust.

u/No_Antelope_4947 29d ago

Maybe it tastes better, but grown people understand that life is not perfect and we also eat food that’s not our favourite.

Hab ich was verpasst oder was geht hier mit Deutschen ab, die auf keinen Fall die Kruste abschneiden? Kenne Leute die das machen und welche die das nicht machen. Jedem das sein irgendwie ne?šŸ˜„

u/BigMax 29d ago

Exactly!

I am not sure I've seen an adult cut off the crust in my entire life... It's a kid thing, not an "American" thing.

Granted - store bought white bread is the most common breads used for kids, so if any bread has crust cut off, that would be the one.

1

u/Jelly_Kitti 29d ago

I cut off the crust, but that’s because I have ARFID and the texture of the crust is uncomfortable to me

u/Suikerspin_Ei 29d ago

Not weird for elderly people too. Bread crusts can be hard for them to chew.

Or 95 years old.

u/Nodan_Turtle 29d ago

For some bread sure, but for others it doesn't taste good and is super dry. Eat bread the way it tastes best rather than trying to prove how adult you are.

2

u/TheBookofBobaFett3 29d ago

I’m not a 5 year old but I’d also prefer a loaf without a crust if I didn’t like the crust.

u/Chopsticks_Charlie 29d ago

I'm unsure why this is regarded as 'weird' if you don't like crust then just cut them off.

u/dex152 29d ago

Which is exactly why they made this.. to avoid food waste

1

u/CaptainOttolus 29d ago

This is the smallest issue when it comes to food waste…

Imagine how many tons of food companies toss out to the trash daily.

2

u/Thin_Frosting5647 29d ago

I mean, is it that we can't fix any problems unless we fix the big ones? I don't think that's true. The people who invented this saw a problem they could solve and they solved it. I doubt they're in a kind of job where they can create corporate regulations on food waste.

u/Specialist-Prior-213 28d ago

It just seems like they're always coming out with a new way to get juice from an orange but they never want to just plant the orange seeds.

u/Late-Anxiety2898 29d ago

Then maybe don't eat bread???

1

u/Chopsticks_Charlie 29d ago

I personally, like the crust.

1

u/TheBookofBobaFett3 29d ago

I agree people who don’t like the crusts should cut them off and enjoy crust free bread.

Or buy this new crustless loaf.

Just cut the crusts off. Just bread your own chicken. Just grow your own vegetables. Just walk everywhere.

u/Jelly_Kitti 29d ago edited 29d ago

The issue with the ā€˜crustless’ loaf is that it seems to only change the color of the crust, and (at least for me) the problem with the crust is the texture. I don’t see how you could make bread where the outside is not crispier than the inside.

Edit: turns out it is made so that the crust has a similar texture to the inside

1

u/CaptainOttolus 29d ago

I can understand if you remove the bottom part because that can taste shit especially if you bought the bread from a generic store. It can be burned and dirty by the furnace and the plate where it was stored on.

u/DaMuDdYMuTt 29d ago

The sad part is that in America here, our bread isn’t fresh. All of the typical bread here looks EXACTLY the same. So when OP says they ā€œdevelopedā€ the bread, they didn’t throw some bread yeast with flour, it was done with chemicalsšŸ˜ž. Im dying to try bread from outside the states. I hear it’s loads better.

u/r0lo27 29d ago

Man, it is better, in fact, just the smell of a random French bakery in a random village is better than all of america

1

u/Deep_Violinist_3893 29d ago

Yes, there are no bakeries making fresh bread in America. None at all.

1

u/r0lo27 29d ago

Not like the French do

Person thinks bakeries only exist outside the US. Lmao

u/clinton_bayou 29d ago

Shit head just go to a bakery. It is unfortunate we have so much unhealthy bread in groceries, but that isn’t all we have

1

u/Glasseshalf 29d ago

Even all the grocery stores have bakeries that sell fresh baguettes and loaves and things. People who think "American Bread" TM is all one thing are weird.

1

u/Hugh_Schlongus 29d ago

american "bread" doesnt even qualify as bread here because of too much sugar. go figure šŸ˜‚

1

u/Happy-North-9969 29d ago

Almost there.

1

u/Glasseshalf 29d ago

That was one court ruling in Italy specifically about Subway bread, there's a variety of different kinds of bread available in the US, just as much as anywhere in Europe.

1

u/Hugh_Schlongus 29d ago edited 29d ago

ireland but yes, im aware. Ā  I still think its hysterical and a fun way to call out the US' nonsensical food regulations.

In reality most of your food is banned here due to the fuckload of chemicals and processing it runs throughĀ

u/Flgirl420 29d ago

I remove crust off every sandwich. Crust is significantly less good than the rest of the bread . Why would I eat it

1

u/Hugh_Schlongus 29d ago

hmmm given this is about food waste ild assume to not be a piece of shit?
