This may not be an unpopular opinion where I am from (Germany, where rye sourdough and mixed sourdough breads are the norm) , but seems to be one where I live. ( NZ, where even the "wholemeal bread" seems awfully pale to me. But they somehow have a whole big shelve of white and white-ish cut bread from several brands in the supermarket.)
Sooooooo whats stopping you from baking your own "proper" bread?
And any bread is just a base for the toppings.
Not a bad question. 🙂
Have done it in the past, but if is not as easy as going to the next supermarket, getting ingredients, and having a bread in a few hours.
Finding rye flour is hard. And it also is surprisingly expensive whenever I manage to find it.(not "you cannot buy this" expensive, but still a bit annoying.)
I have to set up the sourdough, so if I want bread now it will be a few days (at best) till I actually have it.
(I have to get over the fact that the crust is never as perfect as from bakery bread, because at that point I am just whining.)

Also, especially fresh dark sourdough is something I happily eat without any toppings. It's got a nice taste on it's own. - But it's ok if you disagree. This whole thread is not exactly for opinions others are supposed to agree on, is it?9 -

weather I have them or not.
honestly for me it is more "if it didn't have CHEMICALS or not" rather than the calories haha2 -

Its funny how we can always find a reason or two why NOT to do something hahaha
But if you really miss that bread, source the ingredients, make the started and keep it. As long as you feed it, it will live forever. Flour, I bet you can find it for a decent price if you actually look, and just in the store how bad do you miss the bread
And I dont disagree at all. I fully agree. Also why I never ever buy that sorry excuse for bread. To me there is nothing better than home baked bread and nice good quality butter, plus some flaky salt. We used to have thread about "so I was going to bake my first bread".
Agree about home-baked bread: I started because I have to watch my salt intake and commercial bread can be high in sodium. First loaves were very sad, but after keeping at it, I can pull out a decent hunk of bread. I don't go the sourdough route because I know I'd forget to take care of it and it would suffer; but you don't need sour dough to come up with a flavorful levener: just make a biga, and that'll do you nicely.2 -
cold oatmeal > hot

Agreed. Chocolate and hazelnut done right would be a Ferrero Rocher or two, or four, or ...4 -
I dislike... no, hate is the right word... mustard: yellow mustard, spicy mustard, Dijon mustard, Grey Poupon (something did!), any kind of mustard...
Even a dab of mustard the size of a mustard seed is too much for me!2 -

^^and that would be the total opposite of me...but I agree with you about 'Nutella' - I've made my own version of a Hazelnut/dark chocolate spread and is pretty good. But yes, Ferrero Rocher rocks
@pancakerunner - I'm down with that...and have done it!1 -

Try Bavarian sweet mustard if you ever have the chance. You may still hate it, but it honestly tastes very different to any other mustard I can think of, so you may not.0 -

Thanks. I'll try it, if I ever get a chance. I"ve acquired a taste for other foods I didn't like at one time: bell peppers and cilantro are two that come to mind.0 -
I love mustard, too. But can’t imagine eating a spoonful. For me, “a little dab’ll do ya”2

slimy oatmeal is gross but if you don't over cook it and combine with some fruit it can be delightful0 -

oops! got this confused with the Yum or Yuck thread.
I love habanero peppers, and hot pepper sauces. Though, I've never tried the ghost pepper or Carolina Reaper, etc.2 -

I eat a ton of mustard, and could also eat it by the spoon. Basically I love anything vinegar-y I guess. 😁🥄4 -

Same!! I definitely wouldn't do that now, but as a kid I used to drink vinegar and franks hot sauce straight from the bottle I loved and craved it so much. Wonder if I had something wrong in my diet that was causing me to have such strong cravings for vinegar, lol. Also love pickles.3 -
Plain Starbucks coffee is disgusting and bitter. Only the blonde roast is somewhat tolerable, and only after adding tons of almond milk, stevia and flavored coffee syrup4

I love good black coffee (in fact, I dislike sweetened coffee, and with rare exception prefer black to coffee with cream or milk), but don't care much for Starbucks' coffee. (I usually get an Americano if Starbucks is my only option.)3

I used to love starbucks... but now I can't stand it. Only thing I like is the nitro1
