I'm a simple emigrant and I love 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 very early morning and at least until noon. By that time the shelves in them are already almost empty, so we wake up, stretch, and head straight to the bakery, but not by taxi. We're simple emigrants after all. 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, rather than small family-owned ones as before. This happened for several reasons: raw materials and energy have become more expensive, the younger generation 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 bakery goods for pennies. Bakeries simply can't 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 baked on site. Nevertheless, there too the buns are tasty and quickly fly off the shelves. Moreover, almost every store has a slicing machine – it’s in the video – very practical! I'm really lucky that here there is delicious bread and pickles still around – without these two products I wouldn't be able to exist! On these joys I made you a test: What kind of German bread are you 🥨 Take the test and drop the results in the comments, let's see which bread loaf is more common! And if the post gets a hundred reactions, I'll make an English version for your foreign friends 🥳 #food
