Comment on How the Chorleywood Bread Process transformed British breadparent

Comments

I agree, what a chore to read.

I resorted to getting chatgpt to make a summary... Which I am loathe to do:

"Chorleywood replaced long fermentation with intensive mechanical mixing, allowing Britain to turn its previously unsuitable low-protein wheat into cheap mass-produced white bread and substantially reduce its reliance on imported Canadian grain."

Goodness thanks for taking a terrible article and getting to the point.

Alas, Chorleywood tastes awful. At least to German taste buds.

I imagine almost all other bread tastes awful to German taste buds.

And imho the British kind, especially, does not even deserve to be called by the same name.

British food before roughly WW2 wasn't so bad actually.

The French have some decent bread, if you can live without the taste of rye for a while.

... but if you buy my book with more of this, I'll send you even more to read!

I get it, sometimes it's fun to follow a story. But I also read a dozen or so paragraphs, then started scrolling, then gave up.
