I'm a simple emigrant and I adore bread

Sunday is the day of bread from the bakery in Germany, so today’s post is devoted to bread. Stores are closed, and bakeries operate from the earliest morning and at least until noon. By this time their shelves are already almost empty, so people wake up, stretch, and head straight to the bakery—but not by taxi. We're simple emigrants. Over the last 70 years the number of bakeries in the country decreased from 55,000 to 8,912 as of last year. The remaining bakeries are more often chain-owned, not small family-run as before. This happened for several reasons: raw materials and energy have become more expensive, and the youth no longer wants to work from 3 a.m. for about €2,500 gross. But most importantly, since the early 2000s large supermarket chains began selling fresh pastries for pennies. Bakeries simply cannot compete with that. In bakeries, the baked goods are usually freshly baked, while in the bread section of stores, semi-finished products arrive, and are only baked on site. Nevertheless, the buns there are tasty too and disappear quickly. Moreover, almost all stores have a slicing machine – it’s in the video – very practical! I'm really lucky that here there’s delicious bread and salted pickles still – without these two products I couldn't exist! On these happy notes I made you a test: What kind of German bread are you 🥨 Take it and post your results in the comments; let's see which bread roll is the most common! And if the post gets a hundred reactions, I’ll make an English version for your foreign friends 🥳 #food
