>>2478643What you said is mostly true. Most US bread is refined wheat (only the inner kernels), AKA "whitebread" for plebs, and sliced thin in giant soulless factories.
However, there are some specialty breads made from bigger loaves and cut thick at the devoted bakeries of some hipster food markets, even Wal-Mart has some of these. One example is "Dave's Killer Bread" that I buy. You can even find rye bread, but it's not stocked in high amounts, because plebs don't know what it is. One of the best places to by rye bread in Murrica is at Aldi's, because they literally have products made in Germany.
We still lack any sort of wide-spread "artistic bakery" or mom-and-pop bakery stores that are common in Europe. Basically, you won't find "homemade" rye bread available very often. We do have Germanic culture though, because many Murricans in the Midwest and central Texas are descended from Germans that came here in 1848 and afterwards. There are things like "German bakeries" and "German butcheries" in these towns that make rye bread, bratwurst, etc. We also celebrate Octoberfest and LARP as Germans while drinking beer and eating bratwurst and ogling lewd beer-maidens. There was an Octoberfest event in my town (Paris, TX, (lol)), last weekend at a hotel.
