@@sirspongadoodle pretty sure everyone with cognitive ability can guess, but it takes way more to be an expert because theres more knowledge behind just guessing
That’s why I prefer the ones like coffee, tea, hot sauce, and the alcohol ones. With most of these episodes you can immediately pick the more expensive one.
It was 2.5 % And that's somewhat easy to taste. Most bread recipies demand about 2 % of the flour amount of salt. Myself I prefer 2.2%, just brings out the taste a little bit more for me. 2% is a bit sweeter. But if someone bakes bread, and experiments around with the amount of salt a bit, it's easy to taste that difference. And he is called an expert after all.
I love that he was so kind and understanding about the "Bad" white bread in the beginning. I remember having to eat sandwiches almost exclusively as a child on very cheap bread. I can't imagine what I would have had to eat without it.
Yes most of us can tell which is more expensive but I doubt any of us could give as much detail as to why it is more expensive and what to look for like this guy did.
Well maybe if you are living in a country wich hasnt a big bread cultrue that would be true, but honestly he hasnt told me that much more than that i already know (we are a little bit crazy here in germany about bread)
@@jonathannoble8190 My friend, as an artisan baker myself (amateur thought), after baking thousands of loaves you can definitely tell the salt percentage and hydration in any bread you eat. A 0.5% increase or decrease in the amount of salt is significant. Also, the hydration is easy to identify by the chewiness and crumb structure. The guy is not a joke - he is just an experienced baker. My point stands for any expert in any area - one could identify patterns that are impossible to identify by the untrained eye.
That's okay with me because i feel he's not that self-righteous being "bread expert". It's weird though i found so many people who don't know what they're doing and claimed they're experienced/expert in that particular field.
Or... he knows beforehand and this is a heavily edited studio made content... Not saying he's not an expert and he's not genuine, but this kind of channels are as close to TV you can get on RUclips.
You're wrong 😁 focaccia and pizza are two different things (I'm Italian I know what I'm talking about) even when he said "pizza bianca" is not completely right because depends on where you are in Italy focaccia is different... we have many many different types of bread and pizzas even in southern Italy where pizza is born you can taste different types from place to place.. focaccia is typical of the north west of Italy (Liguria) there they produce the finest one :) one thing is certain, we don't usually prefer industial made bread because we still use to buy it at bakery.
I love the fact that he isn’t bashing it because it’s cheap, and he also acknowledges that processed foods (albeit detrimental to your health long term) has saved ppl from starving. We love a socially conscious ....bread expert 😅 👍🏾
Even the bread experts probably keep a basic loaf of hovis nearby it's incredibly convenient I actually really like the Warburtons brand in the UK it's basic but has more flavor than most.
True, but here (and in many other places) you can buy better industrial bread than that though. ;) (about 1,2€ for 800g so 1,5€/kg including taxes ofcourse)
With many of these it is easy to see the difference, but I think it’s mostly about understanding what makes them more expensive than a factory produced item
Of course! It's all very well to talk about nutrition, but that's still a secondary concern to families in starvation. Anything would do. And bread was filling. 💖
Onigiree i agree with your point, but there are starving families with a huge amount of food but are dying because they arent receiving proper nutrients
Americans watching this: Why in the world should anyone need to know this much about Bread? Germans watching this: This guy is really good at hiding his German accent.
It's amazing how every expert brought on for this stuff is actually an expert and has a passion for ALL things they are experts in. They don't outright express the fact the cheaper stuff is bad and they always list pros to the cheaper stuff. Most of the time they arent perfectionists and and snobby about the stuff. You can tell they appreciate all the stuff they are presented with.
Dude so true! They always say stuff like “I like this one much more but that’s my personal preference and I can understand the reasoning behind liking the other.”
Yeah and on the ice cream one the lady even said that one of the more expensive ones was trying too hard and didn't taste as good as the cheaper version. I thought that was awesome.
Goliath Absolutely correct. Also on this show, cheaper doesn't allways mean cheap, like here at the whole grain comparation, both breads there where amazing.
I love this guy, you can tell he's super passionate about bread and knows a lot about them. He has interesting intonation, especially when going over the two loaves in the second round, hah. I also cried a bit when he praised the first cheap loaf for how it saved hundreds of millions of lives and all that- the things people take for granted, yeah? And yeah, holy crud the backdrop work on this is amazing! Whoever works on these deserves a decent commission or salary
I can’t be the only one who wishes they would say how accurate the experts’ general guesses are, like when he guessed the salt amount or the alcohol experts guess the age. I imagine they’re right, and that would be so fun to learn!
John Michael McAwesome The thing I like about the show is that most of these experts are still reasonable with the cheap bread. I mean some of the episodes the expert downright loves the cheaper item as well as the more expensive items.
As an Italian, that schiacciata looks pretty damn amazing even for our local standards. Respect to whoever is delivering that level of quality in the US
Agree. Even for the standards of southern France it looks pretty damn good (remember, here we are very similar to Italy culturally so many of the things you find there you can find it here, plus a VERY big chunk of the population, including me, has Italian ancestry dating from less than a century ago, so lots of expertise was exchanged that way) It looked really really nice and it made me want to eat some
@@Anudorini-Talah Tastes... It's not bad, don't get me wrong, but when it comes to bread there's so much variety around the world it's pretty easy to stumble upon a style you have never tried and that might steal the spotlight to your current favorite
they sell those kind of white bread at the market. i work at subway and we actually let our bread rise before baking it, and the color is more golden. also i think to just order a plain 12inch white bread at subway would cost at least 8$, so it would make more sense for them to pay for the one that cost 0.90 cents lol
I love how he's not snobby about bread, even though it's his expertise. A lot of people would just dismiss the regular industrialized sandwich bread but he recognizes the enormous importance it had for the well being of the human race. Major props.
Except the "cheap" bread in the US is at the price of top quality bread in europe, and cheap bread in europe isn't that cheaper, and therefore not big of a market...
@@canicheenrage Yeah it's amazing, actual good bread from an artisan baker in France doesn't cost much more (if at all) than that American Subway footlong bread he tasted...

Only problem. I was not even a bread expert of really any expert of what they have made and I guessed 100% which one is the most expensive, mainly by just looking at it.
the answers were extremely obvious in this one but that isn't really what the show is about. it is a fun way to learn about different foods in a way you wouldn't normally do. I really like it
I liked how he actually gave info about every bread and not just the expensive ones. It's also interesting that he can tell how much salt is in each loaf.
When you make bread on a daily basis it's easy to tell how much salt there is. My family cannot live without homemade bread anymore, supermarket bread just doesn't fill us up at all
snowangeliquexx spray leftover bread with a water spray, bake in oven for 3 minutes, good as brand new. enjoy ! (it also helps to only slice what you eat, and to keep the bread inside a paper bag)
He is also mostly complimentary on the cheaper bread. I appreciate that he is not a snob and realizes that a vast majority of people cannot afford to pay $11 for a loaf of bread!

He'd be a great teacher, he was just talking about bread but it was so interesting they way he explained everything that I was focused the whole time, and now I want to go buy some bread and stare at it like I know what I'm doing hahaha
Agreed! Jim Lahey is famous for originating the recipe for the "No Knead Bread" that is one of the best, easiest breads you can make at home. I make it all the time! Just google 'no knead bread' and you can get recipes and videos. Highly recommended.
Ebani I feel sorry for you. You have never eaten good bread then. It's like saying burgers are just burgers, when you only know McDonalds, but never eaten a really good one. Bread baking can be an art, and the end product can be so delicous, that it's very delicate pure. Or with a knob of butter.
This epicurious series has really been an educational tour for me with regards to appreciating the food we eat, i feel like a connoiseur with all the knowledhe and points emphasized on each food. I doubt anyone can simply be an expert without really being or having experienced in the production of the food and beverage. Only way you can identify is if you were to recreate it yourself
A lot of people don't understand the point of this show. It isn't just about 'guessing' which is more expensive, it's about hearing a knowledgeable person discuss cool/unusual foods.
Thank you very much for acknowledging the importance of industrial bread for enabling human life and civilization. Too often the foodie community makes blanket statements about the horrors of mass produced foods, non-local foods, non-organic foods, GMO foods, etc. without recognizing that starvation is still a very real problem in the world. We may have a strong preference for the artistic, local, hand-made foods, but these are not viable for feeding the 7,500,000,000 people in the world today.
Mankind is wasting around 1 300 000 000 tonnes of food per year (as far as Google knows). Sooo yep... "the horrors of mass produced foods...etc etc". It seems the problem is not about being able to produce enough, but rather where, how, why and by/for whom. I don't know much about the so called agribusiness, but I sure know that where Monsanto rules people either die from intoxication or starvation only so we could grow fat. As a (probably) great man once said : "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, is the very definition of insanity.". Acknowledging that - speaking of food production and processing that is - the "Mass-produced-cheapening" organisation of work as been tested, mesured and as plainly and unmistakably failed could be a little step forward. Just my 2 cents, all my apologies for the French style butchered English.
How are local, hand-made foods not viable? That's all there used to be. The real problem is that people have forgotten how, or no longer have time to make traditional food themselves. Industrialisation of food production doesn't help people in poor countries. And it's only necessary in more developed countries because poor people are required to work long hours. Go into the middle of Africa and see how the small villages make their bread. They aren't buying it off the shelf. They need clean water and the means to make their own foods the way they always have, not industrialised food products.
Yeah because it's well known that mass-produced food is totally meant to feed the starving people in this world and not to sit in rich countries' stores until they're thrown away when the expiration date is reached... And that said mass-produced food isn't "mass-produced" on foreign countries' soil (to be cheaper) at the expanse of starving people: rice, bananas, exotic fruits, fishes, to name a few. There are TONS of countries in this world where starvation is still a problem because of rich, foreign countries swallowing these countries' riches and resources, as their own! Or where said rich countries are destroying their said resources to plant soy (to feed and later kill *50 BILLIONS* ANIMALS EVERY YEAR FOR THE MEAT INDUSTRY, only in rich western countries!) or palm trees *to feed rich countries* . Mass fishing is killing a lot of people around the world, especially small groups of people on small, ignored islands: these people were self-sufficiant for hundreds of years, following their environments' needs and taking only what nature gave them: and they were doing FINE. Big companies came and literally DESTROYED these ecosystems, all around the world! Mass industrialisation and mass food production IS the problem! Western countries are WASTING food and throwing tons and tons of food away EVERY YEAR! This food isn't made to feed the ones who are really struggling in this world: not even in said western countries! Do you see lots of homeless people eat 3 meals a day, thanking "mass production" for allowing them to eat because it's so "affordable", even for them? Well no! There are even industrial groups or supermarkets that *don't* even give their leftovers to charity for poor people and choose to throw it away rather than using it to feed PEOPLE! Now if you can only afford cheap industrial bread, well who cares? Who is gonna judge you for that and who is gonna spit on bread just because it's cheaper? But don't come and sing blessings for mass industrialisation and the food industry as it is today. It's certainly not what is gonna save the world. It's actually part of what is destroying it and the food industry is actually STILL creating starving people out there, in this world. And see, the first example is just proof of that. Yeah "industrial bread has fed a lot of people" but wtf is that price? In France, where the baguette is from (first bread A: it's actually a Banette, but whatever), a baguette costs 1€, or at most 1.10€. Which is CHEAPER, easily, than 3.60$ as it's said on the video. On the other side, in France, the industrial bread on B, costs 0.84€, which is not that big of a difference between "handworked"/expansive bread and industrial bread. 3.60$ is between 2.30 and 3.50€ and *no one* would buy a baguette that is that expansive! And seeing how the prices differ around the world, for something as cheap as BREAD, which is like water, and flour and oil and some salt, *is* a symptom of the problem with food industrialisation. And sometimes, the irony is, that some products are more expansive in the countries these products originated from, than they are in western countries! So yeah, this man in the video can say that food industrialisation isn't a bad thing, it's even a good thing to make decent bread affordable for everyone: because he's talking about *bread* that doesn't require to go fetch some exotic food on the other side of the world, where real starving people might NEED these products more than us!
Yes, but the point of this show isn't to challenge an expert's skill. It is to explain what goes into a higher cost product vs a lower cost product in terms of ingredients and processes.
*gets a whiff of a breadcrumb* Ah yes, the baker is 45 years old, probably of north-western european heritage, his wife is a teacher and they live in an medium class 1500 sq feet house in the suburbs of Jacksonville, Florida. Classic.

I liked this guy within the first few seconds because he admitted what we never think of in the industrial world, which is that cheaper industrial made products like white bread have a purpose because they offer millions of people both in our own countries and others affordable food products that meet their dietary and budgetary needs. Not everyone can afford organic, not everyone can afford artisan, and we should always remember that.
A crazy amount of bread knowledge aside, it was really easy to guess which was the expensive one every single time in this episode compared to many of the others.
@@hey34 Yh, I'm literally just watching cuz I'm hungry. I pretend I'm eating the food, while also feeling like a professional cuz I'm guessing them all right 😂

Like the first person who reacted to you 'Come to Europe', there the more expensive ones are more normal. Well maybe not the stone backed one (with the super dark color outside), you can find those ones here too but not in the supermarket and not in every backery, which is unfortunate. Gosh it has been several years since I had a stone oven backed bread and nothing compares to that amazing crust. Mmmm!
@@magnajota4341 Yes, Europe has an enourmous variety of great breads. But if you are in North America, you don't have to go that far. San Francisco not only has great sourdough, but also truly excellent focaccia -- if you know where to look. Or go to Zingerman's Deli, in Ann Arbor, Michigan; or Krumarczuk's in Minneapolis, or, probably scores of other local artisanal bakeries, run by people who care about quality.
At this point I come to these videos for the chalkboard art. Still watch and love the videos, but man the highlight is this chalkboard artist. What a talented artist!
Bread doesnt seem very exciting (in a way), bread typically is cheap to the point that I think even a 'common' person would buy an 'expensive' loaf if they really wanted. But the expert you brought in here is just so fascinating (and fascinated) by bread. I thought this would be boring because bread... but your expert here is pretty detailed and interesting to listen to.
Bread is not very exciting (In the U.S at least) because it is seen as a "cheap food" so 75% of bread on the market is super cheap and got a really soft weird texture. Bread is extremely fascinating and can be expensive when made a certain way. Go to some small independent bakeries and I am sure you can drop 10-15 dollars on a loaf and be amazed.
シェフ That’s your opinion. The USA is big enough to have a large variety of many things, bread and opinions among them. We have very tasty Artisan breads in our local stores, way out in Montana
シェフ i am quite amazed that in portugal(were i live) most of the bread, including the cheapest ones(excluding the rectangle-square form type) look like the expensive ones shown in the video, however at a much lower price(cheap ones are 1.1-1.5€/Kg (that should be around 0.6$/lb something like the "carcaça" type) and the regular priced bread is 1.9-2.3€/Kg. The price of the food items that appear here shock me. In the countryside the 2€/Kg bread costs around 0.85-1€ so i hoard 3-4Kg of them when i go there, i also get a less common unfermented bread with olive oil. I am excluding more expensive bread because of what i have eaten they are all inferior and for +-10€/Kg it is almost 2% of the monthly minimum salary so too expensive to pay 30-45€/month of bread for 2)
@@MaxOakland omg making focaccia bread is super easy and the rewards are so fantastic. I like to put lots of salt, oil and garlic on the bread for the flavour profile.
1:00 - OMG an expert that is not so pretentious that he can admit that while he may not personally like the mass produced bread that he does understand its utility and necessity, I tip my hat to you good sir!
15:00 - funniest moment I've ever seen in one of these Expert videos. Also, this was a hard one! Usually they're comparing a $80 something to a $10 something, but here the differences are just pennies in some cases!
I just thought of something....."Professional Chalk Artist Guesses Cheap vs Expensive Chalk".It would be a very good way of introducing the chalk artist we've been dying to see.
It's funny how he's so interested in 2B's color. 😂 This is my favorite type of bread, you always have a couple different ones to choose from in a bakery here in Germany. The “cap“, the first piece with lot's of thick rind on it, is the best piece of the entire bread, nice fresh and crunchy it goes well with strong flavoured toppings like a stronger cheese, smoked bacon or liver sausage (my personal favorite). You can get cheap bread in every supermarket and that's fine, but a proper nice tasty loaf of bread is worth the money. When bread stays good for a couple of weeks, I'm weirded out. I'm used to bread being off after a week. It tastes best day one and goes downhill from there. It's a fresh product. It doesn't just hold your toppings, it's an equally important part of the meal.
Yes, we know it's obvious which one is cheaper. It's obvious so that we can better see the differences in specific things the expert points out. The series is less about challenging the expert and more of a vehicle for them to inform the viewer about the different processes and ingredients that go into something and how they affect the product. It should be easy to tell that things that are mass produced will be more uniform and softer/chewier due to additives; things with a less even appearance and darker, more natural colors tend to be made with more care in smaller batches, and will tend to be more expensive and of a higher quality as a result.
I agree. The hemming and hawing over which bread is more expensive was kind of annoying, especially when some of the bread came from Lahey's own bakery (I worked there for a year and wouldn't mistake it for the world). Jim Lahey is a bread expert extraordinaire, but the gentleman is no actor!
Honey Lette, I feel this series is more about informing the viewer in an entertaining fashion, not trying to set up an expert to fail for no reason. I'm not sure what removing the crusts would achieve, or if that would even be a fair challenge at that point, as it would completely remove a visual and textural piece of the product he's assessing. We might as well just put both pieces of bread in a blender and have him drink them as smoothies if our only objective is to try to "trick" the expert.
But i do enjoy the fact that the experts show their passion towards the things they were expertise in , and explained a lot of criteria and details! :) i felt i learnt something out of it

Well maybe if you are living in a country wich hasnt a big bread cultrue that would be true, but honestly he hasnt told me that much more than that i already know (we are a little bit crazy here in germany about bread)

@@jonathannoble8190 My friend, as an artisan baker myself (amateur thought), after baking thousands of loaves you can definitely tell the salt percentage and hydration in any bread you eat. A 0.5% increase or decrease in the amount of salt is significant. Also, the hydration is easy to identify by the chewiness and crumb structure. The guy is not a joke - he is just an experienced baker. My point stands for any expert in any area - one could identify patterns that are impossible to identify by the untrained eye.

That's okay with me because i feel he's not that self-righteous being "bread expert". It's weird though i found so many people who don't know what they're doing and claimed they're experienced/expert in that particular field.

Or... he knows beforehand and this is a heavily edited studio made content...
Not saying he's not an expert and he's not genuine, but this kind of channels are as close to TV you can get on RUclips.
I love how the “focaccia” is literally a store bought pizza crust
Well, it's literally the predecessor of pizza
They are the roti of Western hemisphere
Don't buy it. Once you make it yourself, you'll realize how dumb you were before.
You're wrong 😁 focaccia and pizza are two different things (I'm Italian I know what I'm talking about) even when he said "pizza bianca" is not completely right because depends on where you are in Italy focaccia is different... we have many many different types of bread and pizzas even in southern Italy where pizza is born you can taste different types from place to place.. focaccia is typical of the north west of Italy (Liguria) there they produce the finest one :) one thing is certain, we don't usually prefer industial made bread because we still use to buy it at bakery.
@@nicolapellegrino1072 no i think they meant that the cheaper “focaccia” is just boboli (pizza crust) from the grocery store

I was going to comment something similar but you said it perfectly.

Even the bread experts probably keep a basic loaf of hovis nearby it's incredibly convenient I actually really like the Warburtons brand in the UK it's basic but has more flavor than most.
True, but here (and in many other places) you can buy better industrial bread than that though. ;)

Yeah and on the ice cream one the lady even said that one of the more expensive ones was trying too hard and didn't taste as good as the cheaper version. I thought that was awesome.
Cheaper doesn't mean worse in all cases.
Goliath Absolutely correct. Also on this show, cheaper doesn't allways mean cheap, like here at the whole grain comparation, both breads there where amazing.

I can’t be the only one who wishes they would say how accurate the experts’ general guesses are, like when he guessed the salt amount or the alcohol experts guess the age. I imagine they’re right, and that would be so fun to learn!
THIS! This has to happen
glad he's at least being reasonable with mass produced bread while being passionate about expensive bread
John Michael McAwesome The thing I like about the show is that most of these experts are still reasonable with the cheap bread. I mean some of the episodes the expert downright loves the cheaper item as well as the more expensive items.
He's not some bread elitist.
I mean, they don't need to do a masterchef-y type of critique. They are experts keeping things honest and real. :)
You could tell he had a hard time with the Boboli though (the last one) he went so far as to call it foul. Pretty funny reaction.
I mean the cheap mass-produced bread are necessary and unique anyways. Not everyone wants their bread hard, crackly and uneven.
As an Italian, that schiacciata looks pretty damn amazing even for our local standards. Respect to whoever is delivering that level of quality in the US
Germans know it better tho ;) Germany has the best damn bread in the world lads
And guess what, I'm half German half Italian
Agree. Even for the standards of southern France it looks pretty damn good (remember, here we are very similar to Italy culturally so many of the things you find there you can find it here, plus a VERY big chunk of the population, including me, has Italian ancestry dating from less than a century ago, so lots of expertise was exchanged that way)

@@felixfortinbras3897 that's honestly what I thought
they sell those kind of white bread at the market. i work at subway and we actually let our bread rise before baking it, and the color is more golden. also i think to just order a plain 12inch white bread at subway would cost at least 8$, so it would make more sense for them to pay for the one that cost 0.90 cents lol
as an ex subway employee, as soon as i saw the .90 cent loaf, i said "that's italian subway bread" 😂🤦🏻♀️

Except the "cheap" bread in the US is at the price of top quality bread in europe, and cheap bread in europe isn't that cheaper, and therefore not big of a market...

I liked how he actually gave info about every bread and not just the expensive ones. It's also interesting that he can tell how much salt is in each loaf.
When you make bread on a daily basis it's easy to tell how much salt there is. My family cannot live without homemade bread anymore, supermarket bread just doesn't fill us up at all
snowangeliquexx spray leftover bread with a water spray, bake in oven for 3 minutes, good as brand new. enjoy ! (it also helps to only slice what you eat, and to keep the bread inside a paper bag)
He is also mostly complimentary on the cheaper bread. I appreciate that he is not a snob and realizes that a vast majority of people cannot afford to pay $11 for a loaf of bread!
You would pay $2.50 for a bread like that one in France, the margins have to be insane

Ebani I feel sorry for you. You have never eaten good bread then. It's like saying burgers are just burgers, when you only know McDonalds, but never eaten a really good one. Bread baking can be an art, and the end product can be so delicous, that it's very delicate pure. Or with a knob of butter.
This epicurious series has really been an educational tour for me with regards to appreciating the food we eat, i feel like a connoiseur with all the knowledhe and points emphasized on each food. I doubt anyone can simply be an expert without really being or having experienced in the production of the food and beverage. Only way you can identify is if you were to recreate it yourself
A lot of people don't understand the point of this show. It isn't just about 'guessing' which is more expensive, it's about hearing a knowledgeable person discuss cool/unusual foods.

Thank you very much for acknowledging the importance of industrial bread for enabling human life and civilization. Too often the foodie community makes blanket statements about the horrors of mass produced foods, non-local foods, non-organic foods, GMO foods, etc. without recognizing that starvation is still a very real problem in the world. We may have a strong preference for the artistic, local, hand-made foods, but these are not viable for feeding the 7,500,000,000 people in the world today.
👌
Mankind is wasting around 1 300 000 000 tonnes of food per year (as far as Google knows). Sooo yep... "the horrors of mass produced foods...etc etc". It seems the problem is not about being able to produce enough, but rather where, how, why and by/for whom. I don't know much about the so called agribusiness, but I sure know that where Monsanto rules people either die from intoxication or starvation only so we could grow fat. As a (probably) great man once said : "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, is the very definition of insanity.". Acknowledging that - speaking of food production and processing that is - the "Mass-produced-cheapening" organisation of work as been tested, mesured and as plainly and unmistakably failed could be a little step forward. Just my 2 cents, all my apologies for the French style butchered English.
How are local, hand-made foods not viable? That's all there used to be. The real problem is that people have forgotten how, or no longer have time to make traditional food themselves. Industrialisation of food production doesn't help people in poor countries. And it's only necessary in more developed countries because poor people are required to work long hours. Go into the middle of Africa and see how the small villages make their bread. They aren't buying it off the shelf. They need clean water and the means to make their own foods the way they always have, not industrialised food products.
mass produced food is a bandaid there are real ways of fixing the problem.
Yeah because it's well known that mass-produced food is totally meant to feed the starving people in this world and not to sit in rich countries' stores until they're thrown away when the expiration date is reached... And that said mass-produced food isn't "mass-produced" on foreign countries' soil (to be cheaper) at the expanse of starving people: rice, bananas, exotic fruits, fishes, to name a few. There are TONS of countries in this world where starvation is still a problem because of rich, foreign countries swallowing these countries' riches and resources, as their own! Or where said rich countries are destroying their said resources to plant soy (to feed and later kill *50 BILLIONS* ANIMALS EVERY YEAR FOR THE MEAT INDUSTRY, only in rich western countries!) or palm trees *to feed rich countries* . Mass fishing is killing a lot of people around the world, especially small groups of people on small, ignored islands: these people were self-sufficiant for hundreds of years, following their environments' needs and taking only what nature gave them: and they were doing FINE. Big companies came and literally DESTROYED these ecosystems, all around the world! Mass industrialisation and mass food production IS the problem! Western countries are WASTING food and throwing tons and tons of food away EVERY YEAR! This food isn't made to feed the ones who are really struggling in this world: not even in said western countries! Do you see lots of homeless people eat 3 meals a day, thanking "mass production" for allowing them to eat because it's so "affordable", even for them? Well no! There are even industrial groups or supermarkets that *don't* even give their leftovers to charity for poor people and choose to throw it away rather than using it to feed PEOPLE!
Now if you can only afford cheap industrial bread, well who cares? Who is gonna judge you for that and who is gonna spit on bread just because it's cheaper? But don't come and sing blessings for mass industrialisation and the food industry as it is today. It's certainly not what is gonna save the world. It's actually part of what is destroying it and the food industry is actually STILL creating starving people out there, in this world.
And see, the first example is just proof of that. Yeah "industrial bread has fed a lot of people" but wtf is that price? In France, where the baguette is from (first bread A: it's actually a Banette, but whatever), a baguette costs 1€, or at most 1.10€. Which is CHEAPER, easily, than 3.60$ as it's said on the video. On the other side, in France, the industrial bread on B, costs 0.84€, which is not that big of a difference between "handworked"/expansive bread and industrial bread. 3.60$ is between 2.30 and 3.50€ and *no one* would buy a baguette that is that expansive! And seeing how the prices differ around the world, for something as cheap as BREAD, which is like water, and flour and oil and some salt, *is* a symptom of the problem with food industrialisation. And sometimes, the irony is, that some products are more expansive in the countries these products originated from, than they are in western countries! So yeah, this man in the video can say that food industrialisation isn't a bad thing, it's even a good thing to make decent bread affordable for everyone: because he's talking about *bread* that doesn't require to go fetch some exotic food on the other side of the world, where real starving people might NEED these products more than us!

Whoever makes the artwork in the back needs a raise
What if they already make bank?
Double their bank
I’m no artist but the max I would pay for something like that is no more than $100
Dan Franco ehh its def like more than 100$ for a mural.
Bruh in like every bakery in Germany there is artwork like that
“oh yeah that’s foul...but I can see how someone could like that” ☠️☠️☠️
I think they're forced to say good things about the horrible cheap junk the experts try
as soon as i saw that thing... ughhh i cant even eat slightly undercooked french bread
I know which is the expensive one is every time, because it’s the one I’ve never seen or eaten before
I am sorry for you. Come to Europe...
Same lol
The second while wheat bread looks like a fossil or an old mossy hunk of rock.
Like the first person who reacted to you 'Come to Europe', there the more expensive ones are more normal.
Well maybe not the stone backed one (with the super dark color outside), you can find those ones here too but not in the supermarket and not in every backery, which is unfortunate. Gosh it has been several years since I had a stone oven backed bread and nothing compares to that amazing crust. Mmmm!
@@magnajota4341 Yes, Europe has an enourmous variety of great breads. But if you are in North America, you don't have to go that far. San Francisco not only has great sourdough, but also truly excellent focaccia -- if you know where to look. Or go to Zingerman's Deli, in Ann Arbor, Michigan; or Krumarczuk's in Minneapolis, or, probably scores of other local artisanal bakeries, run by people who care about quality.
At this point I come to these videos for the chalkboard art. Still watch and love the videos, but man the highlight is this chalkboard artist. What a talented artist!
Bread doesnt seem very exciting (in a way), bread typically is cheap to the point that I think even a 'common' person would buy an 'expensive' loaf if they really wanted. But the expert you brought in here is just so fascinating (and fascinated) by bread. I thought this would be boring because bread... but your expert here is pretty detailed and interesting to listen to.
Bread is not very exciting (In the U.S at least) because it is seen as a "cheap food" so 75% of bread on the market is super cheap and got a really soft weird texture. Bread is extremely fascinating and can be expensive when made a certain way. Go to some small independent bakeries and I am sure you can drop 10-15 dollars on a loaf and be amazed.
シェフ That’s your opinion. The USA is big enough to have a large variety of many things, bread and opinions among them. We have very tasty Artisan breads in our local stores, way out in Montana
Orionleo There are many people who have a hard time buying any bread at all, even the dollar loaves.
i am a commoner, but im not sure i'd ever pay $16 for a loaf...
シェフ i am quite amazed that in portugal(were i live) most of the bread, including the cheapest ones(excluding the rectangle-square form type) look like the expensive ones shown in the video, however at a much lower price(cheap ones are 1.1-1.5€/Kg (that should be around 0.6$/lb something like the "carcaça" type) and the regular priced bread is 1.9-2.3€/Kg. The price of the food items that appear here shock me.
In the countryside the 2€/Kg bread costs around 0.85-1€ so i hoard 3-4Kg of them when i go there, i also get a less common unfermented bread with olive oil.
I am excluding more expensive bread because of what i have eaten they are all inferior and for +-10€/Kg it is almost 2% of the monthly minimum salary so too expensive to pay 30-45€/month of bread for 2)
Jesus, that focaccia bread. Just spend the extra dollar, and get the one that looks like it costs 20 dollars.
Agreed, that industrially-produced focaccia looked horrendous.
I make my own tbh. It's easy and omg it's so good.
PerrinPansy that’s awesome! I wanna do that
@@MaxOakland omg making focaccia bread is super easy and the rewards are so fantastic. I like to put lots of salt, oil and garlic on the bread for the flavour profile.
I highly recommend buying a bread baking book and a few types of flowers as well as some yeasts.
1:00 - OMG an expert that is not so pretentious that he can admit that while he may not personally like the mass produced bread that he does understand its utility and necessity, I tip my hat to you good sir!
All the experts, here at least, have been considerate of this fact.
@@marcodeppe he was generally pun filled 🤣
20somthingdrifter11 right!
bread expert means nothing. At least if he was "Meilleur boulanger de France" or had any reward he could be called bread expert
@@TheMusicalKnokcers bread isn't native to France.
15:00 - funniest moment I've ever seen in one of these Expert videos. Also, this was a hard one! Usually they're comparing a $80 something to a $10 something, but here the differences are just pennies in some cases!
Also, $5 for that prebaked pizza crust is criminal. Especially when you can get that amazing focaccia for just a dollar more!
I think what's adorable is that every expert looks exactly like the food they're judging.
He looks like a loaf of bread. ☺
Manik Kreator what about the knife expert tho
@@Sowono he was.... Sharp.
You are what you eat
@@Moesaurus hahaha
@@AnnaKerbana I don't think that knife expert ate knives though.
What? He understands why industrialized bread exists? HE’S NOT BEING PROTENTIOUS?!? IS HE EVEN AN EXPERT?!?
haha, how funny '-'
Are you using Internet Explorer? You don't see a red squiggly line appear beneath "PROTENTIOUS" when you try to spell "PRETENTIOUS?"
Shoahshana Goldberg-Shekelstein glad to see someone biting. Please tell me you see the irony in what you just said.
@@TacoEqualsFtw not all browsers have the "red squiggly line"
That's mostly exclusive to chromium
@Shoahshana Goldberg-Shekelstein Now, you're being protentious
I just thought of something....."Professional Chalk Artist Guesses Cheap vs Expensive Chalk".It would be a very good way of introducing the chalk artist we've been dying to see.
Season 1 finale
I hope that's a joke because that's actually the shittiest idea I've ever read.
@@connorb614 😂😂
Company : yeah after this guys done, the best ones were trying
Dude: *inserts nose in every loaf*
Its midnight on a school night, I have to do my homework yet here I am, spending 15 minutes listening to a guy talk about bread
Akira Hagiya Very important lessons, grasshopper. Bread is the staff of life :)
Akira Hagiya living the dream
Same dude same
Lol watching on my weekend
Is your homework about bread ?
“Let’s take a Crumb-parison” hahaha so punny
STOP
Jes Lewis so cringe
“Punny” isn’t a pun. It literally takes no creativity and we’ve all heard it a hundred times
Derpalope Incorporations your reply is rather unpunny
Nice
Also.. whoever is creating those backgrounds is genius!
It's funny how he's so interested in 2B's color. 😂 This is my favorite type of bread, you always have a couple different ones to choose from in a bakery here in Germany. The “cap“, the first piece with lot's of thick rind on it, is the best piece of the entire bread, nice fresh and crunchy it goes well with strong flavoured toppings like a stronger cheese, smoked bacon or liver sausage (my personal favorite).
You can get cheap bread in every supermarket and that's fine, but a proper nice tasty loaf of bread is worth the money. When bread stays good for a couple of weeks, I'm weirded out. I'm used to bread being off after a week. It tastes best day one and goes downhill from there. It's a fresh product. It doesn't just hold your toppings, it's an equally important part of the meal.
whats it called again?
Yes, we know it's obvious which one is cheaper. It's obvious so that we can better see the differences in specific things the expert points out. The series is less about challenging the expert and more of a vehicle for them to inform the viewer about the different processes and ingredients that go into something and how they affect the product. It should be easy to tell that things that are mass produced will be more uniform and softer/chewier due to additives; things with a less even appearance and darker, more natural colors tend to be made with more care in smaller batches, and will tend to be more expensive and of a higher quality as a result.
Exactly. They should've given the guy one slice from each bread with crusts removed.
I agree. The hemming and hawing over which bread is more expensive was kind of annoying, especially when some of the bread came from Lahey's own bakery (I worked there for a year and wouldn't mistake it for the world). Jim Lahey is a bread expert extraordinaire, but the gentleman is no actor!
Honey Lette, I feel this series is more about informing the viewer in an entertaining fashion, not trying to set up an expert to fail for no reason.
I'm not sure what removing the crusts would achieve, or if that would even be a fair challenge at that point, as it would completely remove a visual and textural piece of the product he's assessing. We might as well just put both pieces of bread in a blender and have him drink them as smoothies if our only objective is to try to "trick" the expert.
@@WastedPo You're right. I didn't think that was hard to get but oh well.
But i do enjoy the fact that the experts show their passion towards the things they were expertise in , and explained a lot of criteria and details! :) i felt i learnt something out of it
