Maybe she ought to stop buying sourdough. Just a thought. As a former Californian, I cannot find credible sourdough ANYWHERE. What they call "sourdough" around here is a fricking dinner roll.

I lived in the Bay Area for 6 years. now I live in New Orleans and we just recently just got a Trader Joe's nearby and their sourdough is ok but prior to that I had not been able to find an acceptable loaf ANYwhere

I’m in Little Rock, AR, and am thankful we have a Trader Joe’s specifically for their sourdough. No, it’s not the best, but compared to anything else available, it’s damn good. Toasted with butter is my go-to in the mornings.

God, that was my hell when I lived in Texas.

You could make your own…

As a current Californian I too cannot find good sourdough.

Portlander here, sourdough is everywhere but no good bagels

Henry Higgins Boiled Bagels has decent pumpernickel & whole wheat, as least by Miami standards. Discounts on Tuesdays.

There's only two SF sourdough makers left. One is institutional only, and the other doesn't have big holes. 😭

Supermarket over the counter bagged sourdough has a weird scent to it that’s very generic I suspect people are making yeast breads with a souring agent

Sourdough is yeast + lactobacillus, but yeah generic factory-produced sourdough has a slightly off-putting taste (maybe mold inhibitors?)

Oh sorry I meant like commercial bread yeast as opposed to the sourdough yeast/bacteria symbiote

(If we’re being technical the symbiotic colony is about 5 different microorganisms usually, about two species of yeast and about three species of bacteria, normally. I need to find the source of that)

it probably depends on the mature starter, which develops a relationship with its environment I imagine commercial starter is kept more isolated, and bred for stability?

Yes! The struggle is real!!!

It’s never strong enough! Why isn’t it making my lips pucker?

You're not fooling anyone with that bland, flavorless white bread. And it does TOO soak up butter! And clam chowder.

Yes!

Clearly the party of freedoms should ban sourdough. Even seeing it makes this person upset!

im here like. GIRL I DONT LIKE HARD CRUSTS ON SAMACH BUT YOU AINT GOTTA MAKE THAT EVERYONES PROBLEM. i just get my samch on a nice buttery croissant

Sara Lee Classic White Bread is what she seeks. It's available everywhere not hidden behind locked doors it's at every/any grocery store.

I get it. I like crappy white bread for peanut butter & whatever sandwiches. That’s a dessert. Other bread doesn’t hit the comfort nostalgia mark. I don’t have ANY trouble getting my hands on it. I can have tons delivered right now. Is she trapped on an island or boat? I support DEI in bread.

Judging by her word choices, yes, she's trapped in Britain. ... Maybe the UK shouldn't have Brexited.

Do they not have crappy white bread on the whole land mass? No yeast?

I mean, I dunno, I don't live there. But yeah, she sounds whiney.

I don’t either. I do think there would be more complaints. I could be out over my ski’s here. The horror. 😉

im just autistic hence why the texture of hard crusts on samch is bad. but i like hard crusts for other food

But RFKJr is about to ban that.

Any 7-11 or Quik Stop also carries that nasty shit.

potatorolls.com/products/pot... sarah lee is gross. i accept only this as my pbj and ham samch bread at home. i grew up onnit

The owner of Martin’s has given Magat politicians hundreds of thousands of dollars in election donations.

California is probably why sourdough is "woke." Our particular strain of bacteria, _Lactobacillus_sanfranciscensis_, doesn't disapprove of same-sex marriage.

I miss good California sourdough. Toasted sourdough is the best.

California expat living in Georgia. Fresh Market has decent sourdough. Also what is this fool talking about. Sourdough has been around a lot longer than sliced bread.

Out here in the Midwest as someone from San Diego, izzio is a sourdough brand that tastes pretty good, if a tad pricey. Don’t understand why a lot of this “sourdough” is literal cake bread.

💯💯💯

Winco bakery sourdough is 😗👌

Yes! I especially like their Asiago sourdough.

I’m in Portland now and there are excellent local bakeries but the sourdough is not the same. I try to make it myself with imported sourdough starter but I’m not very good at keeping it alive for more than a few loaves

Also, sourdough is disgusting. There's always that.

Agree to disagree on that. A BLT with avocado on a San Francisco sourdough is one of life's great joys for me.

Tell me you’ve never had a proper grilled cheese without telling me you’ve never had a proper grilled cheese.

A proper grilled cheese does not require sourdough bread. It just makes everything taste gross. I lived in SF for 20 years and everything is sourdough. It's nasty. A proper grilled cheese in the US requires Pepperidge Farm white bread. Whole Foods also works. Not too squishy.

So bold, yet still so wrong. Sourdough, a good Gruyère, smoked Gouda and a tomato basil soup. Sweet dreams are made of this.

Yes this. I turned to making my own and even then...

lol

Dude why are you still on a platform that promotes nazis?

Cottage Loaf was the most common traditional English bread, typically broken apart by hand rather than sliced.

Vacuous bread.

lmao tell me you don't have non-dogshit bakeries in your region of the world without telling me, Alex.

She's buggered off to Dubai as an economic migrant.

To be fair Tesco only stock (checks notes) 48 different types of white sliced bread, so you can understand her point

Probably not available in her local Tesco Dubai branch. 😃

My late parents used to work in Jeddah. They did say that one of the things they missed was British style loaves as the locally made European style ones were too sweet for their tastes. (They were perfectly happy with the local flatbreads and wraps, they just liked toast with jam from time to time)

But those are woke medium and thick sliced, Mark! She must have thin-sliced!

Obviously, less than 100 is anti-white racism.

@quietriotpod.bsky.social @sturdyalex.bsky.social Bread for the next wokey dokey? 👀

Seconded.

Bread is not ~woke~ but I’m also not a sourdough fan. But I do love a dark rye or pumpernickel so… ohhh shit.

Oh no the "free market" that "responds to consumer demand" has made sourdough bread more popular but my palat is a 3 year olds and now capitalism is bad because I need bland ass bread since that's all I have eaten my whole milquetoast life, fascist daddy trump please make white bread legal again!!!

Apparently the Roman Empire was built on Woke & Circuses

Morons, I see far right morons everywhere

Everything is content to a culture warrior grifter. Just slap "woke" on it and spin.

They worked themselves up into a whole ass fit over here, over a Cracker Barrel logo

Have all the Sainsburys been blockaded by woke?

She took the name as a personal insult

Is there a shortage of white bread that nobody’s telling me about? Stuff’s everywhere at the grocery I use.

Probably can't find it in Dubai, since she is so concerned about migrants taking over England, she's become a migrant over there.

That’s hilarious. If she can afford to live there she can afford to import Wonder Bread (although she doesn’t need to; a quick Google shows many brands of white bread are available).

What kind of moron doesn't know how to toast sourdough bread.

I love sourdough. I love white bread. Unfortunately I have to restrict both... Carbs, innit?

There are low carb white breads but unfortunately no low carb sourdough yet

My store bread aisle has no less that 130 SKUs.

If sourdough is woke then fuck it, I'm the wokest mother fucker who ever fucking lived.

Buying your own yeast, a radical notion.

In the new anti-woke world choice is being outlawed. Pity Alex hasn’t discovered the wide range of bread one can buy.

Gulag.

Like a child.

So buy different bread.

Isn’t sourdough the only bread that people with IBS can tolerate? 🤔

Conservatives continue to demonstrate that they have no taste in food.

becoming a trad guy but for trix yogurt. remember what they took from you

Alex is the white bread in the room with you

Alex IS the white bread on the room.

It's woke because other people like it and they're not like her.

Does she not know that the regular bread she misses is still readily available in most grocery stores today. It's literally called sandwich bread or white bread.

But she's not here; she buggered off to Dubai.

So she is mad that American bread isn't available in a foreign country, that explains a lot!

I bet she is sitting in Dubai complaining about the crime in American cities too.

Well, probably, but we have insipid sliced white bread in the UK as well.

I've been to Dubai numerous times, they have it too. Why she decided to buy and complain about sourdough just makes her sound like an entitles stupid person.

Yeah, she just loves to scream into the universe about anything and everything. She made a huge deal of being 'forced' to leave England because there were too many migrants, so moved to Dubai as an economic migrant herself. She's pissed off because no one cared/noticed she'd gone.

So she moved to a muslim country to get away from the muslim migrants. Please make it make sense!

She likes playing the white colonial superior person. She's most well known for being involved in election interference in Kenya with Cambridge Analytical a few years ago. And no doubt in Dubai she'll only be interacting with fellow white ex-pats.

Probably

They found it The whitest person

🤣 the most pathetic snowflake of them all! Show us in the store aisle where the bread hurt you 😂 😂😂 🥪🍞

🤣🤣🤣

Yes, I’m sure sourdough is the only available bread option for purchase where she lives in London.

Woke is just anything you don’t like, I guess.

Sourdough is the new smashed avocado. They really have it in for hipster breakfast ingredients.

Sourdough is woke. 🙄 It’s frankly ridiculous the media takes any of these people seriously.

science class in 2025: extinction is a thing that happens to bread

How posh an area must the authentic voice of the down trodden white working class, Alex Phillips live in to only be able to get sourdough?

This reminds me of my father in law, who threw an enormous wobble in Tesco because all the cheese was "foriegn" and it was replacing traditional british cheeses and thats why he was voting for Brexit. He was standing in the "International Cheeses" aisle.

I should belatedly point out that I adore my father in law, regretable cheese moments notwithstanding.

We've all to eat nothing but cheddar and spam and jolly well like it 😙

It goes without saying that sourdough is the earlier/historical bread, of course. And it toasts nicely.

When I was growing up, all bread was based on sourdough. Only rolls and baguettes were made with yeast. And lots of sweet bakes. And that’s 70s and 80s Poland. Not centuries ago. I still recall people who visited the UK complaining about crap plastic white bread (the sliced kind).

But it really is down to what you buy. If you buy crap, you eat crap. It’s astonishing to me that someone can look at the abundance of choice we have these days, and still find something to complain about. Especially in such a blatantly disingenuous manner as that Pearson bint above.

I love a milk bread! Fabulous sandwich bread! I make them all the time - and they are vastly superior to the terrifying things in the plastic at the supermarket.

Toasted Sourdough with all the butter and honey is a thing of joy. It would probably even make Alex Phillips smile…..

I defy anyone to be mad at this bread.

I'm only mad that I don't have any of it

😁😊

It's asymmetry is pissing me off take it's life.

With butter?

Or clam chowder

Death by cheese

I'm mad because I can never get an ear like that on mine.

😊 thank you! The ear gods are a fickle lot. The companion boule - same dough, same shaping - didn’t do this.

I don't 'love' sourdough, but I don't hate it. I just like about 10 other breads before it. Bland white wonderbread did not make the list. That one does look adorable though, I will give you that. Catwalk ready!

If someone else places a thing I love lower down the list, then more for me. 😁 And thank you!

That's a good looking boule.

Thank you!

You made that? Its gorgeous!

It's not even grey!

No! And the inside will not be grey either!

I think the only thing that would make Alex Phillips smile would be a big bonfire burning all the sourdough, and the sourdough makers and eaters along with it. Right next to a bonfire burning all the books that aren’t white and fluffy enough. While toasting marshmallows and watching ICE abuse kids.

Have ranted about this before, but so many of these people's concept of anything "traditional" dates back to no earlier than about 1947

You set up your bakery next to the brewery and you all swapped yeast products back and forth. You didn’t rip open a little envelope.

Spam? SPAM? That's American; foreign! Luncheon meat or sliced tongue, young man!

Spam Spam Spam Spam Spam Spam Spam Spam LOVELY SPAAAAAM Wonderful Spaaaam

Ye gods.😳 Did anyone ever explain to him about the international cheeses aisle?

I did try. And I bought him some nice Davidstow Cheddar and a Shropshire Blue, from Tesco, to prove that they hadn't banned British cheese.... I did also point out that voting in a way that would deprive us of delicious European cheese was possibly a silly idea, but he wasn't having that.

Shropshire Blue does sound amazing.

I'm not a big lover of blue cheese but yes, it is lovely.

Not even ... Wensleydale?

I hope he likes goat cheese.

That is hilarious. :)

Who pays her to invent drivel like that these days, which shady enterprise?

What a marooooon! 🐰🥕 Send her a loaf of plain white bread with zero nutritional value to sop up whatever greasy slop she prefers.

What a bitch lmao. Sourdough is dank

@jayzeddy.bsky.social to the list! @mooklepticon.bsky.social quit making woke bread

I informed him this morning 😂

Alex is a boys name so using it for a girl is woke. Probably

Alex, how about some mayonnaise with that sandwich? 🤢

This has to be positive if the harmful effects of white bread are true

What she describes as normal bread is actually fluffy chemical clouds.

"soft white" bread is literally labeled as a demographic, not hard to find. It does have a purpose, grilled cheese and BLTs.

Very woke indeed!

I thought conservatives were all about fresh baked sourdough made by trad wives. Can’t keep up with what is “woke” to them.

I can slice sourdough thinly, not because I have some special skill, just because I'm not a goddamn baby.

Maybe half a brownie point for the alliteration at the end. Everything else is a sore loser who went to Sainsbury's a bit late and the sliced bread was all sold out.

It appears white bread just isn't white enough anymore.

Not our fault she can't figure out how bread works. If you're too stupid to competently handle sourdough, you probably don't need to be voting.

In her case, she absolutely doesn't deserve the vote.

Woke: any change (perceived or real) that I (an asshole) do not like.

Basically, yeah. And Phillips has forgotten the full name of her favorite bread: White bread, thinly sliced. It's actually the predominant form in most stores and bakeries in the USA. And as a lover of sourdough: it's clear Phillips hasn't eaten much sourdough, clearly only stale sourdough to boot.

What has happened is that you can get both “normal bread” (sad Wonder Bread in his case, undoubtedly) *and* sourdough bread I don’t know if it’s Post Fordism or what, but capitalism has seen fit to make countless breads available to him, if he would only reach far enough into the shelf

Take one step towards late capitalist supply chains, late capitalist supply chains will take 299,999 steps towards you

We're all waiting, aren't we? For the Mad Right to call brown and dark dogshit on the pavement 'woke', and call for the return of the mysterious grey & white dogshit of the 1970s. Truly Great British Dogshit.

Make Dogshit British Again.

I bet he couldn’t make a loaf of bread if his life depended on it

"It's being made extinct" except plastic bread is still 90% of all bread on supermarket shelves. 🙄

Agree with him. Tell him to complain to Publix’s Corporate Ofgice about their private label. Not only did they fund T reelection but also paid for parts of the January 6th Rally

Hey, here's a thought; learn to bake?

waitress: "White, wheat, or woke?"

I miss *thing that's available everywhere*

Stupid is as stupid does.

I wonder if Alex listened to Taylor Swift on the Newheights podcast talk about her obsession with making sourdough bread and sending loaves to her friends? Is Alex a Swiftie hater?

Fail. He isn't even harking back to the golden age of World War II when things sucked but it made men manly. Terrible white bread wasn't even invented until 1961. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorley...

It’s now woke to have a choice of wonderful breads after years of bland doughy white sliced bread in plastic bags. Phillips is an idiot as we all know.. confined by that Ch4 interview re Cambridge Analytica. Sadly idiots also get air time in today’s media.

Is she so rich that she only shops at boutique stores that don’t sell air-bread?

She could just buy warburtons white sliced bread!!! Or any other number of brands of highly processed white bread. These people are weird. Nobody is making her eat anything she doesn’t want to! 🤷🏼‍♀️

It reminds me of all the right wingers who tweeted about the new types of caps on bottles, which conformed to new EU regulations, to reduce plastic waste. Get a life!

Ooohh, I do believe Alex had a hissy-fit about those as well!

I had a brexiter before the ref complain 'there is no British aisle at Tesco' Pointed out that a) there does not need to be, supermarkets where British people in France and Spain are have them and b) THe rest of the fucking shop is the British aisle. Same mentalilty

Super odd people! There is no reasoning with them!

Often people who don't actually want quality British products. They want the cheap slop.

Why you buying sourdough if you don't like sourdough, Alex? I don't buy rye bread and rant that it's part of the lizard person agenda to convince children the world is round.

I do miss a really good Frankonian sourdough rye bread... Instead of a flavorless foamy mess that has absolutely zero nutritional value

Com’on Alex, you can still buy Wonder Bread. Knock off your BS!

But can she? Do they have it in Dubai?

Nothing is ever quite white enough for some folk.

The new invention of sourdough bread.

Made tea sandwiches. Used Home Pride White bread from my usual supermarket. Not hard to find.

So why doesn't he just buy a white loaf? It's not like they're hard to obtain.

Should we start calling them 'the unwoke'?

🤦‍♀️

This is a man who, 100 years ago, would have named his cat a slur and gone mad at the sight of an Italian man selling sausage off of a cart

My bad; its a woman, saw a larger screencap of this elsewhere. Sentiment still stands.

The constant whining of these victimized babies. Go eat whatever bread you like and leave people the hell alone!

Sourdough can't be thinly sliced? What?

If it's stale it's REALLY tough to slice thinly. Otherwise, it's like normal white bread for slicing. Also, Phillips' flavor and toasting descriptions align with my experiences with stale sourdough. If I had to bet, I'd say she bought a single, stale, unsliced loaf, and decided it was all like that

I think she might only have a blunt bread knife. We struggled until we bought a new one.

Alex Phillip: Go to the store and buy yourself wonder bread it’s bland soft and gets mushy when you press on it! Much like yourself!

Dear Alex, trad wives make their own loaves. Why are you buying bread? That's woke feminisim

Choosing boring, non-nutritious white bread over delicious, hearty sourdough is peak rightwing idiocy. Should be a hanging offense.

Look at these weaklings. They can't even handle bread that isn't super soft, tasteless nothing. Us woke people can handle the changing times, while conservatives crumble at it worse than even the whitest bread.

At least she can afford to buy bread and whine about it being “woke”… These people are so full of imagined grievances they feed with eager desperation that it’s making the crazy ooze out of their pores.

The white bread she's lionizing was once poncy.

IOW...I am a worthless, vacuous waste of space...

Decline in the availability of challah is a classic “find out”.

Sourdough toasts perfectly. 🤨

I bought bread at Whole Foods today. I got the wheaty kind, but it was riiiight next to plain white sandwich bread, there in the aisle at Whole Foods.

Do they have Whole Foods in Dubai? Because that's where she is whining from.

ahhhhh yes, it's because of WOKENESS that she can't get tesco sandwich bread in UAE

It is so weird when people use the internet to confess their most embarrassing secrets like, “I’m too dumb to buy bread I like.”

One of my favorites of this genre, “I’m too dumb to order a toaster oven online,” fits nicely into the bread discussion

A classic! He’s a HoF self-owning tweeter

They’re running out of things to be triggered by.

Won't they run out of things to call woke?

Never. 🙄 twatwaffles they are.

He doesn’t season his food, either.

Well, someone gifted her a thesaurus for her last big girl birthday..

Is that one of the new drug resistant variants of gonorrhea?

No, that's TrumpSyphaurus. Easily confusable.

@Grok Is it true that sourdough the only type of bread you can buy in London?

She's in Dubai.

Philips is a mental ill person who thinks foreigners are constantly staring at her and now this. She should go to psychiatrist hospital.

i wish my problems were this stupid and meaningless instead i get to spend my life worried i'm going to be killed for using a public toilet.

New Peter Kay material is a bit shit

Sourdough? Bread?!

It's a taste sensation tharris!

Can you make garlic bread with it though? I rest my case.

Sorry, San Francisco Bay Area native here — I frickin’ love garlic bread made with sourdough. But, even here in the den of sourdough iniquity, we haven’t managed to suppress the white bread hordes invading our shelves and even, *gasp*, our restaurants and bakeries (the “fancy” version). 🤷🏻‍♀️

As a Frenchman, this is a declaration of war on carbs itself.

🤣 Quick, can we come to the negotiation table and arrive at peace via croissant? May we perhaps meet at Pain au Levain?

google en croissant

The chess app? Seems appropriate. :)

As a diabetic I'd like to see fancier bread done with lower carbs. I'm tired of boring sandwiches since they only make low carb in very few varieties.

Geez. There’s a thousand other kinds of bread. If you don’t like sourdough stop buying it. Doing the same thing over and over expecting a different outcome is a little on the idiot side of things.

The fact that OTHER people are eating sourdough means I can't enjoy Wonder Bread, which *checks notes* is still being sold for anyone who likes that kind of crap.

In Northern California we laugh at idiots making comments about sourdough.

who is... British i suspect?

You do not have to miss this, it still exists. In fact, a loaf of white bread is usually much cheaper than a loaf of sourdough! Go nuts!

Someone thought of the phrase 'Poncy Porous Plimsoll', was quite pleased with themself, and then spent the next hour trying to work it into a tweet.

It's only just hitting me, but isn't porous borderline a synonym for absorbent? That thing she insists sourdough isn't?

Yes!

Alex can just go to the supermarket, or corner shop and buy some shit Chorleywood Process mush if they want. Still. We woke bread folk won't stop them.

Sad! With all that time in the kitchen, you would think she could learn to bake good bread. 😂

Just pick a different bread, dude.

Why stop at bread? Washing machines, showers, soap that doesn’t scrape a layer of skin off, loo paper that actually works. Come on Alex. How woke are you?

Someone's told her she doesn't HAVE to buy Sourdough if she doesn't want to, right? Alternative breads are available.

"Missing" industrialised white bread is peak blithe capitalism.

it's funny because, since (I'm assuming) the OP is American, sourdough is in fact much, much closer to Actual Bread™️ than whatever ultraprocessed white paste his parents tried to pass as bread when he was a kid.

Nope, unfortunately she's British of the worst kind.

One day we need to talk about our local right wingers' urge to copy the worst aspects of their equivalents in the US.

I have to agree. Artisan bakers put my teeth on edge.

This what happens when you don't tell people to SHUT THE FUCK UP. They feel entitled to type pretentious shit like this because they think those vacuous opinions are worth something.

Isn't that the trad wife kinda shit they eat up? Sounds like she might've tried to make it and fucked it up and is now mad.

Has he ever seen swartzbrot?

Soaks up butter? She melting the butter to put on her bread?

What an absolutely pathetic loser.

lol someone tell this guy you can still buy or bake your own cheap basic white bread These people are like full grown toddlers.

Yeah it takes like 4 minutes to throw together in a bread machine and 4 hours later you have great basic bread. Cheap too.

I also have reservations about sourdough: it doesn’t keep well, and is rarely available here in wholemeal. But “woke” is just daft. It’s fashionable. Sourdough is having a good year. Other breads are available.

I'm sorry but in what world does sourdough not soak up butter

There no logic to it beyond old thing good new thing bad. They just make up the specific details as to why on the fly

Except I'm pretty sure even sourdough is older than wonder bread lmao.

Oh hell, guess we'll be having anti-bread protests next, knowing that lot.

Bread is woke ffs

They don't call left YouTube "breadtube" for nothing. D'uh!

He knows he's not FORCED to buy sourdough, right? If he's afraid of the woke bread, he can get someone else to buy his white pan.

*she, apparently

Reminds me of that one time someone made an article about the wokes killing mayonnaise

I’m guessing she doesn’t do her own shopping because warburton’s toastie or whatever she’s after is still very much everywhere. Also because people who do their own chores don’t try to class-shame other people with alliteration

This Alex Phillips? www.euractiv.com/section/poli...

That’s the one - Cambridge Analytica alumni!

bread: a bold new frontier for the culture war

How can we get past the right wing defining themselves by the brands they buy and bringing us all down with them? Cracker Barrel? M&Ms? WHY THE FUCK DO YOU CARE?!?!

Ffs. These ***ts.

If I asked Carol for some letters I'm guessing it would be a "t", "w", and an "a". XD

abots

Alex Phillips: And mayo is too spicy.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I don’t know who she is but it sounds more as if she is describing her soul rather than a loaf of sourdough. 🤣

“Bread that actually tastes of something is woke”. Just wait till they realise there are other types of cheese than cheddar 😅

I am so tired of those fancy cheddars, with fancy names. I want a cheddar that I don't have to pronounce words when buying. I want a cheese that I can just wave my flag at the deli counter and they know it's American. Bland and plastic!

To them, anything other than American "cheese" [product] is unpatriotic.

They only buy American and Velveeta.

Man, they don't even know what real cheddar tastes like, and imagine their meltdown if they stopped dying what they call cheddar orange.

Cheddar? They only buy the generic version of Kraft's singles and Velveeta, thank you very much.

In America, we are about one week away from Trump signing an executive order banning all other cheese except American...which essentially taste slightly better than the wax paper it comes in.

and isn't cheese. It is as much cheese as trump's orange face coloring is face coloring.

Green Thunder would blow their minds.

Cheddar is woke. Velveeta is chesse.

Cheddar? No no, not when these exist

My "Made with milk" label is raising a lot of questions already answered by the label.

When it comes to "American Cheese", that means it's a high-end product..

Loooook it's not a forgone conclusion when it comes to "processed cheese product"

Knowing them anything other than white American cheese is woke

or until someone exposes them to actual cheddar.

They only eat American "cheese". Mild cheddar with color added to make it yellow is woke.

“American” cheese is the worst. Velveeta has its usages (with Rotel tomatoes and chilies microwaved into a dip.)

Be fair. American cheese has its uses, too. It’s still the best for a proper melty grilled cheese sandwich.

And it's not that weird kraft stuff.

lol…but no, specifically that weird Kraft stuff is precisely what I’m talking about. If I’m making a grilled cheese (with or without lunch meat), I want the weird Kraft stuff. Any other sandwich, (cold or toasted) then I want real cheese. But nothing melts like Kraft.

Deli American works perfectly. Ideal combination of meltability and *actually being cheese*.

Fair enough. I may just not have a great deli..personally, I prefer the Kraft American *ONLY* for the purposes of a grilled cheese. It is objectively a trash cheese 😂

She doesn’t fuck with cheddar. Sliced American cheese in the plastic wrapper, goddammit. (It’s not cheese, officially, it’s a “cheese product.”)

Oooo they don't know what cheddar is. A good cheddar is 😮🤯

Vintage Red Leicester is sooooo much nicer than the stuff my mum used to buy

Yes, but try buying any of them in Tesco!

I can see a future black market trade in non-cheddar cheeses. 'I got a lovely bit of Wensleydale, love, or if you want to be really daring, brie. It'll cost you, mind.'

The only “cheese” they know is American. Cheddar too spicy.

I'd be inclined to qualify that cheddar with "mass-produced mild supermarket style"...

Yes. A good, real Cheddar can be wonderful. Right up there with many other amazing, non-supermarket cheeses.

I got an aged white cheddar last week that I can't stop thinking about, it just tastes so much better

Americans have no taste, episode 547

nah mate, can't blame us for this one

My chances were 50:50 and I missed…

She needs to stop shopping at Fortnum’s

Sounds like Alex needs to know how to make his own bread if he's so fragile and delicate.

This person should just go to a grocery store and get Wonder Bread. They still make it and it’s perfectly bland like your average white American.

Britainnia Delenda Est,

This type of bread is still everywhere and cheaply available idk why she’s mad…like go buy some??

Wonder Bread is off the market?

Ask every Eastern European person in the UK, we hate the “normal” British bread - the fluffy, white cotton with no taste. Fortunately the large scale immigration also brought thousands of Polish shops and Britons promptly rediscovered how actual bread tastes like (not to mention sausage etc)

Has Alex Phillips been in a grocery store, like, ever?

Has this individual tried the bread aisle in the supermarket?

You assume these idiots grifters have ever shopped for themselves.

Hope no one buys her a croissant.

These people will whine about anything

And Alex *does* whine about everything.

It's funny because, historically, sourdough has been around way before the boring ass pre-sliced white trash bread that Alex is praising.

Can't imagine what Alex would make of me. Tend to bake my own bread. Having said that plenty of white bread available this morning in that cathedral of wokedom Waitrose.

do you think these people will ever learn to feel joy again

No. Joy is a sin.

Good point. I think you’re on to something there, about how we got from the not-so-great then, to the not-so-great now.

She is a stupid woman who is doing her best to insight violence.

From her penthouse in Dubai.

Irony is lost on the people she’s influencing. She hates immigrants, as she’s an immigrant in someone else’s country. 🙄

Wut?! Just an example from my own kitchen- seems the butter understands its job (it is vegan butter mixed w olive oil, copious amounts of fresh pressed garlic and Italian parsley- so maybe woke butter is the trick?🤭

Is there nothing that these snowflakes aren't afraid of

She will have lifetime gut issues

(Using the word ‘flavour’ has too many vowels and is probably woke.)

People who've been called "as bland as white bread" all their lives are lashing out.

And proving why its the perfect insult

How else is she going to make sandwiches for her husband???

What on earth is she on about??? You can buy the thinly sliced bread.

Sourdough bread is woke, because woke means non-white

You’d think nothing was happening around the world.

You'd think she could be looking into the Epstein papers and whether Trump is suppressing them.

These people hate anything that is different from when they grew up, social media and smartphones excepted of course

They dont understand what they grew up with either. They see political points in comics as a new thing.

And money …

I assure you many of them grew up with money even if they'll tell you otherwise

But like what’s their endgame to not have anyone be allowed any choice other than what they personally like?

They don't have an endgame. It's just find something to complain about, get likes, find something else to complain about.

These particular people are grifting content creators constantly on the lookout for their next faux outrage material. White bread was kind of just hanging there as low hanging fruit. After CRACKER Barrel erased the cracker and the barrel?

Sour man

Sourdough is the best bread. Period. It slices thinly and absorbs butter. Great for sandwiches or toast with jam. Love it.

Sourdough has been around for decades. Its hardly replaced normal bread though, I still get my 50/50 and the white bread is half the bread aisle. Sourdough seems to be cut your own. And if she doesn't like it, dont buy it, that simple

Alex is living in bespoke, artisanal bread hell. Not one crumb of Wonder Bread to be found in a store. If you want the unwoke bread, you gotta turn to the black market and that means meeting the Pillsbury Doughboy in poorly lit parking garages where he sells you bread that smells like feet.

He's a trickster though. Once I had him acquire what was supposed to be discount blander than brand name generic Wonder bread. He sold me a bag full of used socks instead.

She’s again praying for the return of her beloved Soviet times, a planned economy without choice She’ll be demanding we invade Afghanistan soon, mark my words

They will politicize your shoes, your shirt, your drink, and what you eat. After they’re done politicizing it they’ll run 35 investigations, when they can’t find anything on 35th they’ll go to a 36th. The minority party needs lies in order to win, and now they have the perfect ecosystem to do so.

Wait until she finds out about a German nine-grain cereal and seed bread called Vollkorn.

Why isn't it called Neunkorn?

I keep finding that these complaints were poked fun at decades ago…. Here’s one from Monty Python: youtu.be/anwy2MPT5RE?...

I’ll have your sourdough, I love it!

I've always loved this skit!!

The spam was hidden behind a Pizza Hut ad.

They’re such whiny myopic babies.

I made this about the DC sandwich thrower but seems even more apt now

I am stealing this. Thanks in advance.

I grew up eating rye and pumpernickel. So never got the white bread indoctrination

I grew up eating lots of types of breads, including white bread. I'll eat white bread if it's all that's available and won't mind. I prefer sourdough to most others (depends on the details, a Rueben MUST use rye or pumpernickel). So, yeah, her tweet is off the rails to me. 😆

Jesus alex just buy white bread wtf

[Batman '66 announcer voice] What's THIS--? a Poncy, Porous Plimsoll..?? **BING**

Where the hell is she shopping that generic white bread is being "made extinct"?

Gail’s, probably.

Italian bread isn't white enough for her

Trendy expensive bakeries She could just go to Tesco and buy bland white sliced bread but she might be within feet of common people.

The Great White (Bread) Replacement

Oh, that’s beautiful

Murrlogic forever blueballed

The percentage of white bread on store shelves 30 years ago was 90%! Now all this disgusting brown whole wheat is here trying to create the abominations like marbled rye!! Make The Bread Aisle Great Again! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!

Like this really does have the same energy… 🫠

This guy wants the GMO bread back? The kind with all the nutrients bleached out?

Reminds me of when former Toronto mayor Mel Lastman tried to claim that “mangiacake” was a racial slur 😂

So honey, eat the bread you like. Leave the rest of us alone. God, she loves wonderous diversity.

Is she ok?

Not in the least; she's an evil cow.

What a fucking stupid sod. The grocery store has an entire aisle of bread. Try reading the labels.

same energy but 200% more weird annoying British slang

I always wondered who eats this crap. Question answered. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Warning: this bread will actually make you white. 🤣

All it does is keep your hands clean while having a sandwich.

Technically this is a non-nutritious, bread-like substance with a half life of most building materials.

She's obviously a disturbed individual. Maybe its a rye for help! No?

Reminds me how, back in 1990, I shared a "council flat" on the North Peckham Estate with a gay Leninist and a gay "anarchist" and one of us would bake three loaves of fresh bread every single day. No matter whose turn it was, they always came out perfect.

Alex Phillips - I miss being able to eat normal white bread but thankfully I have salmon soufflé, dainty rainbow salad, keto coconut, langoustines, kedgeree & burrata in pancetta with chive oil to feed my working class pallet.

This convinced me. She's not simply too stupid to buy white bread in the grocery, she just wants low tier grocery store bread served at the fancy restaurants she visits. Which is... lady just go to a greasy diner, or learn to prep your own food?

Somehow I can't see Tesco Value sliced white being on her shopping list 🤔

She she knows she could just stop eating sourdough bread and buy white sliced; right? Right?

who is forcing this poor man to eat bread he doesn't like?

She's an evil cow who hates everything and everybody, especially non-white people.

This is the kind of content people go to X for?

This is the kind of perpetually bawling toddler content that right wing media is. Just a constant temper tantrum over things that they don't like, that absolutely nobody is forcing them to consume or endure.

I left the hellsite three years ago. I have no interest in what they say to themselves there. It seems silly to give them a voice here.

Probably because the best sour dough bread is made in California. That’s why he calls it out.

i fucking love sourdough tho. i love all (real) bread tbh. fuck the haters

Idk who needs to hear this, but you can still buy white bread

American here, but one who has relatives in London...you can literally go to the Tesco website and find ~20 different brands of white bread. We all know what she is doing - gin up nostalgia for a mythological past, then blame libs and minorities for ruining said mythological past...then get clicks

from smooth-brained mouth-breathing chuds who also think this mythological past once existed.

Incredible as it sounds, you can still actually buy both 🤔
