I just came back to Europe after a couple weeks in the US. The US was beautiful (travelled in the Rockies). I was surprised by the fact that I unironically would not be able to live there just because of the food. Everything was so drowned in cheese / sugar / unspecified ultraprocessed something that I had legitimate digestion issues the first week.
“I would like an omelette please”
“Yes sir, do you want eggs in that or just the cheese?”
I had no idea I could miss just plain real bread as much as I did by the time I got back.

Half the time it’s not even normal sugar; it’s high-fructose corn syrup…
EDIT: Well over half the time.
Getting just regular old bread for a normal price there is basically mission impossible.
American bread is cake.

I try to buy it a day old and then freeze it. It kind of sucks
